Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes actually hands-free?
Yes, they feature a specialized Heel Pillow and structured heel cup that allows you to step in without pulling or bending.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No. Never put Skechers in the dryer, as the heat will compromise the structural integrity of the foam and the mesh upper. Always air dry.
Do I need to wear socks with these?
While the interior is comfortable, wearing moisture-wicking socks is recommended to improve hygiene and reduce friction during long walks.
Is the size UK 6.5 a standard fit?
Yes, the UK sizing for this model follows standard industry measurements for a comfortable, athletic fit.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
They are suitable for light treadmill walking or casual gym activities, but are not recommended for heavy lifting or lateral movement exercises like basketball.
How often should I wash them?
Only wash when necessary. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is usually sufficient for minor stains.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping out while walking
Ensure the shoe is fully pulled on and that your socks are not too slippery. If the fit remains loose, you may need a different size as slip-ins rely on a precise fit.
Odour buildup
Since the shoes are machine washable, ensure they are thoroughly dried after washing to prevent moisture retention. Use a standard shoe deodorizer spray for daily maintenance.
Midsole foam feels less responsive over time
Memory foam eventually compresses. Consider using a thin, third-party athletic insert if you require additional support after extensive long-term use.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Effortless slip-on design for quick transitions
- Lightweight construction reduces foot fatigue during long walks
- Machine washable for easy maintenance
- Breathable mesh upper keeps feet cool
- Responsive cushioning provides excellent shock absorption

- Limited lateral stability compared to traditional lace-up trainers
- Slip-on design may feel loose for users with narrow heels
Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for the GO WALK Flex; simply ensure the size matches your standard UK foot measurement. Because these are slip-ins, they are designed to fit snugly around the heel—if you feel slight pressure when first stepping in, it is likely the Heel Pillow doing its job to keep you secure.
To maintain your shoes, remove any loose dirt with a soft brush before washing. Place the trainers in a laundry bag, use a delicate cycle with cold water, and always air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the memory foam and adhesives.
