Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for walking and light cross-training. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and structure required for intense running.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials and cushioning.
Are the laces adjustable?
The Skechers GO WALK Flex - Ultra Sneaker features fixed stretch laces for a convenient slip-on fit. They are not designed for traditional lacing adjustments.
What does 'vegan design' mean?
A vegan design means that the shoe has been manufactured without the use of any animal-derived materials or by-products.
How do the Flex Pillars™ work?
The Flex Pillars™ on the outsole are designed to adapt to different surfaces, providing stability and traction. They allow the sole to flex naturally with your foot while enhancing grip.
What is the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
This is a performance insole that offers high-rebound cushioning and airflow. It helps to keep your feet cool and comfortable throughout the day.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insoles are typically removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort after initial wear
Allow a short break-in period of a few wears. Ensure the correct size is selected, as ill-fitting shoes can cause discomfort.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning is designed for longevity, but can degrade with extensive use. Consider replacement after prolonged wear. Ensure insoles are clean.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the Flex Pillars™ offer multi-surface traction, they may perform differently on extremely slick or wet surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Mesh upper feels too loose
The fixed stretch laces provide a secure fit, but if the upper feels excessively loose, consider adding an aftermarket insole for a snugger feel.
