FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The GO WALK Flex - Master trainers are designed primarily for walking and casual wear, offering excellent cushioning and comfort for those activities. For intense running or high-impact sports, dedicated running shoes with more specialized support and features would be recommended.
How do the 'no-tie' laces work?
The laces are stretchable and are designed to offer a secure fit without the need for tying. They provide a comfortable tension on the top of the foot, complemented by the shoe's overall design for a slip-on experience.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, you can wear these trainers with socks. The sizing is generally standard, but if you prefer thicker socks, you might consider if a slightly larger size would be more comfortable, although the stretch laces offer some adaptability.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
'Vegan' means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of the shoes. This includes materials for the upper, sole, cushioning, and any adhesives.
How long does the cushioning typically last?
The longevity of the cushioning depends on usage. For walking and casual wear, the ULTRA GO® Foam and Air-Cooled Memory Foam® are designed for durability. Regular cleaning and avoiding extreme conditions will help extend their effectiveness. Expected lifespan can range from several months to over a year with regular use.
What is the benefit of the Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® design?
The primary benefit is extreme convenience. You can put on and take off the shoes effortlessly without bending or touching them, which is ideal for quick changes, individuals with mobility challenges, or simply for saving time.
Can these trainers be used in wet conditions?
While the engineered mesh provides breathability, it is not waterproof. These trainers are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. They are not designed for heavy rain or submersion in water.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
While the laces are non-tie, the engineered mesh and Heel Pillow® offer a degree of adaptive fit. If still uncomfortable, consider ensuring they are fully on with the Heel Pillow® engaged. For significant fit issues, trying a different size or width may be necessary.
Difficulty slipping shoes on
Ensure the Heel Pillow® area is clear and not obstructed. Gently slide your foot in, allowing the flexible collar to expand. Avoid forcing your foot, as this can damage the shoe's structure.
Insole feels flat or lacks cushioning over time
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may compress slightly with extended use. Ensure the insoles are clean and dry. If cushioning significantly degrades, consider replacing the insoles with compatible Skechers insoles.
Shoes do not dry properly after washing
Ensure the shoes are not overloaded in the washing machine and are placed in a well-ventilated area for air drying. Direct sunlight can sometimes degrade materials, so a shaded, airy spot is best. Ensure they are completely dry before wearing to prevent mildew.
