FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These sneakers are specifically designed for walking and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for high-impact running activities.
Can I replace the insole if needed?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is typically removable, allowing you to replace it with custom orthotics or alternative insoles if desired.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct UK size?
The UK 7.5 size is standard. If you are between sizes or have wider feet, consider trying them on if possible. Refer to Skechers' official sizing guide for detailed measurements.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The mesh upper is breathable and water-resistant to some degree but not fully waterproof. They are not designed for use in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What does 'vegan design' mean for these shoes?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing process of the shoe.
How long does the cushioning typically last?
The lifespan of the cushioning depends on usage frequency and intensity. For regular walking, the ULTRA GO® cushioning is designed for durability, but it will gradually reduce its effectiveness over hundreds of miles of wear.
Can these be worn in very hot weather?
Yes, the heathered mesh upper and Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole are designed for breathability, making them suitable for hot weather.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially.
The mesh and cushioning will naturally conform to your foot shape with a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure you have selected the correct size. As they are vegan, they might have a slightly different break-in feel than leather.
Slight squeaking noise during walking.
This can sometimes occur due to new cushioning materials. Try walking on different surfaces to see if it subsipates. Ensure the insole is properly seated. In rare cases, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces.
While the Flex Pillars™ outsole offers multi-surface stability, optimal traction is usually achieved on dry to slightly damp surfaces. Exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces.
Difficulty slipping shoe on.
Ensure your heel is fully pushed back into the shoe. The fixed stretch laces are designed for a snug fit; they will loosen slightly with wear but are not adjustable.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and marks from the mesh upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole can often be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure the shoe is completely dry before wearing.
- Outsole Care: Wipe the outsole clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Do not place them near direct heat sources, such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
