Product Information
Full details
The Skechers GO WALK 8TM - Nova trainers are designed for adults seeking exceptional walking comfort and easy wearability. Their key benefit is the Hands Free Slip-ins® design combined with superior cushioning for all-day support. A potential caveat is that the knit upper, while flexible, may offer less structure than traditional laced shoes. These sporty, vegan slip-ons feature a two-tone Stretch Fit® knit upper, Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole, lightweight ULTRA GO® cushioning, and Comfort Pillar Technology® with Ultra Pillars® for enhanced stability.

FAQs
Are these shoes truly slip-on without needing to touch them?
Yes, the Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® design with the Heel Pillow™ allows you to slip your foot in without bending or using your hands.
What makes the cushioning in these trainers special?
They feature lightweight ULTRA GO® cushioning combined with Comfort Pillar Technology® and high-rebound Ultra Pillars® for enhanced support and responsiveness.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic training or running?
While they offer excellent comfort for walking, their design is optimized for walking and casual wear. For intense athletic training or running, dedicated running shoes might offer more specialized support and stability.
How do I clean the knit upper?
Gently wipe the knit upper with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
It means the shoe is constructed using materials that do not contain any animal products.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The heel height is approximately 4.8 cm.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
These trainers are designed for general walking. While the materials offer some resistance, they are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the heel of the shoe is pushed down and the back collar is aligned. Gently wiggle your foot in. For first-time use, the fit might be snug.
Discomfort after initial wear
The shoe may need a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the correct size has been selected.
Insole feels less supportive over time
The Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole may need to be cleaned or replaced. Try hand washing the insole and allowing it to air dry completely. If the issue persists, consider purchasing replacement insoles.
Knit upper appears stretched out
The Stretch Fit® knit is designed to be flexible. If it feels excessively loose, ensure you have the correct size and that the shoe isn't being overstretched during wear. Proper care and storage can help maintain shape.
