FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The GO WALK Flex - Ultra is primarily designed for walking and light activities. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and structure required for high-impact running.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently clean the mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth using mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as they can damage the material. Always air dry.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Hand washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials and cushioning.
What does 'vegan construction' mean for these shoes?
Vegan construction means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these shoes. This includes materials used for the upper, lining, sole, and any adhesives.
How do the Flex Pillars™ on the outsole work?
The Flex Pillars™ are designed to enhance stability and provide a more responsive feel by independently engaging with the ground. They help stabilize walking motion and offer multi-directional traction.
Is the insole removable for orthotics?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is typically designed to be removable, allowing space for custom orthotics or a preferred insole.
What is the expected lifespan of these walking shoes?
The lifespan depends on usage frequency and conditions. For regular walking, they should provide significant comfort for many months. Regular cleaning and proper care can help extend their performance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. While designed for a comfortable fit, slight adjustments may be achieved by ensuring the fixed stretch laces are seated correctly. For significant fit issues, consider a different size or model.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
The ULTRA GO® cushioning is designed for durability. If the cushioning feels significantly reduced, it may indicate the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan for optimal performance. Consider replacing them if used heavily.
Foot odor developing.
Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing. Allow shoes to air out between wears. Remove the insole and wash it separately with mild soap and water, ensuring it is completely dry before reinserting. Use odor-absorbing insoles if the problem persists.
Traction appears reduced on wet surfaces.
While the Flex Pillars™ outsole offers multi-surface stability, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction on any footwear. Clean the outsole to remove any embedded debris that might affect grip. For very slippery conditions, consider footwear designed for such environments.
