FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The Skechers Go Walk Flex are designed for walking, light jogging, and general fitness. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning tailored for high-impact, long-distance running are recommended.
Can I remove the insoles?
The Air Cooled Goga Mat insoles are integrated into the shoe for optimal cushioning and support and are generally not designed to be easily removable. They are intended to work as part of the shoe's structure.
How often should I wash these shoes?
It is recommended to wash the shoes only when necessary to maintain their integrity and performance. Frequent washing, especially with harsh detergents or improper drying, can reduce their lifespan.
What is the main benefit of the Air Cooled Goga Mat insole?
The Air Cooled Goga Mat insole provides enhanced cushioning, high-level energy return with each step, and breathability to help keep feet cool and dry.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These shoes are designed with breathable athletic uppers and are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions or light moisture. For wet weather, waterproof footwear would be more appropriate.
What is the best way to store these shoes when not in use?
Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the materials and cushioning. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent odor or mildew.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The flexible knit upper and Air Cooled Goga Mat insole will mold to your foot over time, but initial fit is crucial. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in.
Reduced cushioning or support over time.
The Air Cooled Goga Mat insole is designed for high rebound, but like all cushioning, it can compress with extensive use. Consider replacing the insoles if significant degradation occurs after prolonged wear. Ensure they are clean and dry as moisture can affect performance.
Shoes appear dirty after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and a gentle cycle with cold water. For stubborn stains, pre-treat the affected areas before washing. Always air dry completely, as heat from a dryer can damage the materials.
Slipping sensation during activity.
While designed for flexibility, ensure the shoes are not too loose. The slip-on nature is convenient but may offer less security than lace-up models. If slipping is a concern, consider if the shoe size is appropriate or if a different Skechers model with a more secure fit might be better suited for your intended activities.
