FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Skechers GO WALK 8™ - Day trainers are primarily designed for walking and casual wear. While they offer cushioning, they may not provide the specific support or features required for high-impact running activities.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is removable, allowing you to replace it with custom orthotics or other preferred insoles if needed.
How long does the cushioning typically last?
The longevity of the cushioning depends on usage frequency and intensity. With regular walking and proper care, the ULTRA GO® midsole and Goga Mat™ insole should provide comfort for a considerable period, typically many months of daily wear.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The flat knit upper is breathable and water-resistant to a degree, but these trainers are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions, and prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.
What does 'easy-on vegan walking style' mean?
It signifies that the shoes are made from vegan materials, feature a design that makes them simple to put on (like slip-ons with stretch laces), and are optimized for comfort during walking.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Refer to Skechers' official sizing chart for accurate measurements. The UK size 7.5 typically corresponds to a specific foot length; measuring your foot or trying on a pair is recommended for the best fit.
Can the fixed laces be adjusted?
The laces are designed as fixed stretch laces for convenience. While they offer some flexibility, they cannot be tied or adjusted in the traditional sense. They provide a snug, slip-on fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Due to the fixed stretch laces, precise adjustment is limited. For a tighter fit, ensure the laces are evenly distributed. For a looser fit, try to gently stretch the knit upper. If the fit is significantly uncomfortable, consider trying a different size or model.
Insole feels flat after extended use
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed for high rebound. If it feels less supportive over time, ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. Machine washing (on a gentle cycle with cold water) can sometimes help refresh the cushioning. If the issue persists, replacement insoles may be considered.
Difficulty slipping shoes on
Ensure your heel is positioned correctly at the back of the shoe. Gently pull the heel tab to assist in sliding your foot in. For easier entry, you can try slightly loosening the fixed laces by gently pulling them away from the shoe's eyelets.
Tread wear on the outsole
Normal wear and tear can occur on the outsole with regular use. If significant wear is noticed on specific areas, it might indicate a gait pattern. For prolonged durability, avoid using these trainers for highly abrasive activities or surfaces.
