FAQs
Can I put these in the washing machine?
While many Skechers are machine washable, we recommend checking the specific care label; typically, air drying is required to protect the cushioning technology.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Stretch Fit knit upper is designed to accommodate various foot shapes by expanding, but if you have a wide foot, ensure you select the appropriate sizing or look for specific wide-width variants if available.
Do I need to wear socks with these?
You can wear them with or without socks. The Air-Cooled Goga Mat insole is designed to be comfortable against the skin.
What is the primary difference between the GO WALK 8 and older versions?
The GO WALK 8 series features updated Ultra Pillars and an enhanced Heel Pillow design for better long-term rebound and a more secure fit compared to previous generations.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
They are perfect for walking and general movement, but they may lack the lateral support needed for side-to-side movements or heavy weightlifting.
Troubleshooting
Heel feels loose when walking
Ensure you have chosen the correct size; if the heel continues to slip, try wearing a slightly thicker sock to provide better volume for the Heel Pillow.
Knit upper has picked up dirt
Allow the mud to dry completely, then gently brush it off with a soft dry brush before using a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are designed as Hands Free Slip-ins, they do not require an initial 'break-in' period like traditional lace-up trainers. To maintain the life of your Skechers:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean the knit upper. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can damage the foam cushioning.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and material elasticity.
- Usage: Ensure you step into the heel area properly so the Heel Pillow engages correctly with your foot shape.
