FAQs

What makes the GO WALK 8 Nova trainers 'hands-free'?

The Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® design includes a specially molded heel and the Heel Pillow™ which allows you to easily slide your foot into the shoe without bending down or touching the shoe with your hands.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are optimized for walking and provide excellent cushioning and support for that activity. They are not designed for high-impact activities like running, which require more specialized footwear.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The trainers should feel comfortable immediately. Your heel should be secure due to the Heel Pillow™, and the Stretch Fit® upper should feel snug but not tight. There should be a little room at the toe, but not so much that your foot slides around.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is generally best to avoid machine washing trainers with knit uppers and advanced cushioning systems. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. If machine washing is necessary, use a gentle, cold cycle and air dry.

What is the benefit of the Comfort Pillar Technology™?

The Comfort Pillar Technology™ consists of pod-like structures in the outsole that provide enhanced support and stability, promoting a smoother stride and helping to reduce fatigue during long walks.

Are these trainers vegan?

The product description mentions they are a 'sporty vegan slip-on', indicating that the materials used are vegan-friendly.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too loose

The Stretch Fit® upper offers flexibility. For a snugger fit, consider adding an aftermarket insole for more volume or ensure you are using the correct size. The Heel Pillow™ also helps secure the foot.

Difficulty slipping foot in initially

Ensure your heel is fully back in the shoe. The Heel Pillow™ may initially feel snug but should conform with wear. Try wiggling your foot in gently rather than forcing it.

Insole feels slippery

The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed for breathability. If it feels slippery, ensure socks are worn and the insole is clean and dry. Slight moisture can sometimes affect grip.

Smell developing after wear

Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure socks are clean and moisture-wicking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, these trainers are suitable for most foot types seeking comfort and ease. They are best suited for walking, casual wear, and travel.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Skechers GO WALK 8 Nova trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and surface marks from the knit upper. For more stubborn stains, a small amount of mild soap can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the cushioning and sole with a damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Washing Machine: While not explicitly recommended by all manufacturers for this type of shoe, if necessary, a gentle, cold cycle with minimal detergent might be considered. *Always check the specific care label if available and remove insoles if possible.* Air dry thoroughly afterwards.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
