FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Skechers GO WALK Flex - Ultra are specifically designed for walking. While they offer comfort and cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and durability required for high-impact running activities.
How do I know if the fixed laces fit correctly?
The stretch laces are designed to offer a snug yet flexible fit. If they feel too tight, try gently stretching them. If they feel too loose, ensure your heel is fully seated in the back of the shoe. For a more adjustable fit, you might consider other Skechers models.
Can I remove the Goga Mat insole?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is typically removable, allowing you to air it out or potentially replace it with custom orthotics if needed.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the Skechers GO WALK Flex - Ultra feature a breathable mesh upper and are not waterproof. They are designed for comfort in dry to mildly damp conditions but are not intended for use in heavy rain or wet environments.
What does 'vegan construction' mean?
Vegan construction means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these shoes. The materials are entirely plant-based or synthetic.
How do I clean mud or stains from the mesh upper?
Use a soft cloth dampened with cool water and a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub the affected area. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat.
What is the main difference between GO WALK Flex and other Skechers walking shoes?
The GO WALK Flex series emphasizes enhanced flexibility and lighter weight, often featuring advanced cushioning technologies like ULTRA GO® and Goga Mat™ insoles for superior comfort during dynamic walking movements.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels unsupported during long walks.
While designed for comfort, these trainers might not offer the same level of rigid support as specialized running shoes. For extended high-mileage walking, consider insoles with enhanced arch support or consult a professional for footwear recommendations tailored to your gait.
Laces feel too tight or too loose.
These trainers feature fixed stretch laces for a slip-on design. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, try gently stretching the laces by hand or consider alternative Skechers models with traditional laces for a fully adjustable fit.
Traction is poor on very wet or slippery surfaces.
The Flex Pillars™ outsole offers good multi-surface traction, but extremely wet or slick surfaces can be challenging for any footwear. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris which can impede grip.
Shoes appear to be getting dirty quickly.
The White/Grey colorway is stylish but can be more prone to showing dirt. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap will help maintain their appearance. Consider using a protective spray suitable for mesh fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers are designed for immediate use. Simply take them out of the box and they are ready to wear. The fixed stretch laces provide a slip-on fit, so no lacing or adjustment is typically required.
Compatibility: The Skechers GO WALK Flex - Ultra is primarily designed for walking on paved surfaces, light trails, and indoor use. The multi-surface outsole offers good grip on a variety of common walking terrains.
Care Instructions: To maintain the condition of your Skechers GO WALK Flex - Ultra trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the heathered mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth. For minor stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole can be removed for airing out. If needed, it can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air-dried completely.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Remove any loose dirt or debris from the outsole with a brush. Wipe clean with a damp cloth if necessary.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as excessive heat can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Washing Machine: It is generally not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as this can degrade the cushioning, adhesives, and structural integrity.
