FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Skechers GO WALK 8™ - Day trainers are specifically designed for walking and casual wear. They offer excellent cushioning and support for walking, but may not provide the necessary stability or responsiveness for high-impact activities like running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The trainers should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box for your toes to move freely. There should be no pinching or excessive slipping. Refer to Skechers' sizing guide for specific measurements.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand wash the insoles and spot clean the upper and outsole as needed.
What does 'easy-on' mean for these trainers?
The 'easy-on' feature refers to the fixed stretch laces and the slip-on design, which allows you to easily slide your foot in and out of the shoe without the need for traditional tying.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not waterproof. The flat knit upper is breathable but will allow water to pass through. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
What is the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
It's an advanced insole technology that provides high-rebound cushioning, encouraging better posture and offering enhanced breathability to keep your feet cool and comfortable during wear.
What is the benefit of the Ultra Pillars®?
The Ultra Pillars® are integrated into the midsole and provide high-rebound cushioning and enhanced support, contributing to a more energized and stable walking experience by adding responsive points of contact.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
While the laces are fixed, ensure you have the correct size. If slightly too tight, wear them for short periods to allow the knit to stretch naturally. If too loose, consider adding a thin insole for a snugger fit.
Insole feels uncomfortable.
The Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed for high rebound. If it doesn't suit your preference, you can try inserting a different, thinner insole, ensuring it doesn't make the shoe too tight.
Traction seems poor on wet surfaces.
The outsole provides good traction on dry surfaces. Be cautious when walking on wet or slippery surfaces, as with any footwear.
Material appears to be discolored.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors. Clean gently as per care instructions to remove surface marks.

Care: To maintain the trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the flat knit upper gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing, which can damage the material.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and cool water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to clean the midsole and outsole. Remove any embedded dirt or debris.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can compromise the shoe's structure and materials.
