Product Information
Full details
The Skechers GO WALK 8 - Nova trainers are designed for adult women seeking supreme walking comfort and effortless wearability. Their key benefit is the Hands Free Slip-ins® design combined with advanced cushioning for all-day support. A potential caveat is that the Stretch Fit® upper may not provide the same level of structured support as traditional lace-up shoes, which might be a consideration for activities requiring more stability. Key features include the Heel Pillow®, a laceless Stretch Fit® knit upper, Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole, lightweight ULTRA GO® cushioning, and high-rebound Ultra Pillars®.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Skechers GO WALK 8 trainers are primarily designed for walking and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and stability required for high-impact activities like running.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing the insoles and spot cleaning the upper with a damp cloth is the best method to preserve the materials and cushioning.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
Hands Free Slip-ins® means the shoes are designed so you can easily slide your foot in without needing to bend down or use your hands to pull them on, thanks to a supportive heel structure.
How do I know if the Stretch Fit® upper is right for me?
The Stretch Fit® upper offers a flexible, sock-like fit. It's ideal for those who prefer comfort and adaptability over a highly structured fit. If you have very wide or narrow feet, you might find the adaptive nature of the stretch knit more accommodating than traditional shoe constructions.
What is the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
This is an advanced insole technology that provides high-level cushioning and breathability. It helps to keep your feet cool and comfortable during wear.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the Skechers GO WALK 8 trainers are not waterproof. They are made with a breathable knit upper, which is not designed to repel water.
What is the difference between GO WALK 8 and other GO WALK models?
The GO WALK 8 series typically features updated cushioning technologies (like ULTRA GO® and Ultra Pillars®), improved insole designs (like Air-Cooled Goga Mat™), and the addition of Hands Free Slip-ins® for enhanced convenience and comfort over previous models.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
The Stretch Fit® upper is designed to adapt. If it feels too tight, try wearing thinner socks. If it feels loose, ensure the heel is properly seated due to the Heel Pillow® design. As these are slip-ons, a perfect fit without laces might require trying different sizes.
Reduced cushioning over time.
The ULTRA GO® cushioning and Goga Mat™ insole are designed for durability. If cushioning feels reduced, ensure the insoles are clean and dry. Significant loss of cushioning may indicate the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan for optimal comfort.
Difficulty slipping foot in.
Ensure your heel is fully back and you are using the Heel Pillow® to guide your foot. Sometimes, a slight twist or wiggling motion can help. Avoid trying to force your foot in, as this could damage the heel counter.
Material creasing or stretching excessively.
The knit upper is flexible. Minor creasing is normal with wear. If excessive stretching occurs, it may be due to the shoe being too large or prolonged exposure to high heat, which can degrade the material.
