Product Information
Full details
The Skechers GO WALK Flex - New World trainers are designed for adult males seeking convenient, comfortable footwear for everyday walking. Their primary benefit lies in the hands-free slip-in design and flexible cushioning, making them exceptionally easy to put on and wear. A minor consideration is that while they offer a secure fit with laces, the main convenience comes from the slip-in feature, which may not appeal to those who prefer a traditional lacing-only experience. Key features include the exclusive Heel Pillow™, an engineered mesh upper, a molded heel panel for hands-free entry, Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, and lightweight ULTRA GO® cushioning.

FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
Yes, based on customer feedback and product descriptions, these trainers are generally considered true to size, offering a standard fit.
Can I wear these for running or intense sports?
While they offer good cushioning for walking, they are designed as walking trainers and may not provide the specific support and stability required for running or high-impact sports.
How long does the slip-in feature typically last?
The Hands Free Slip-ins® design is engineered for durability. With normal use and care, the heel panel should maintain its functionality for the lifespan of the shoe.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The engineered mesh upper offers some flexibility, but if you have significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on if possible or check for wider fit options if available.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is made from an engineered mesh, designed for breathability and flexibility, with some hotmelt details for structure.
Can I machine wash these trainers multiple times?
Yes, they are designed to be machine washable. However, frequent washing, especially with harsh cycles or detergents, could potentially affect the longevity of the cushioning and materials over time. Air drying is crucial after each wash.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is breathable, which means they are not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture but not for heavy rain or wet environments.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
This is common as the memory foam insole conforms to your foot. Wear them for short periods to break them in, or loosen the laces slightly. The materials are designed to stretch slightly with wear.
Slip-in feature is difficult
Ensure you are positioning your heel correctly and stepping down firmly into the shoe. The Heel Pillow™ is designed to assist entry; sometimes a slight wiggle helps.
Reduced cushioning or comfort after washing
Ensure the shoes are air-dried thoroughly and not exposed to high heat. Over-drying or using a machine dryer can degrade the cushioning materials.
Slight squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new shoes or due to moisture. Try wearing them with socks, or if it persists, a light dusting of baby powder inside the shoe near the sole might help.
