FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While they offer good cushioning for walking and light training, they are not specifically designed for the demands of marathon running. For dedicated long-distance running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the white sole?
The white sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher marks, a non-abrasive cleaning eraser can be used gently.
Can I replace the laces with standard ones?
Yes, the stretch laces can typically be removed, allowing you to thread standard shoelaces through the eyelets if you prefer a different fit or look.
What is the main difference between GO WALK Flex and other Skechers lines?
The GO WALK Flex line is specifically optimized for walking and cross-training, emphasizing lightweight cushioning and flexibility. Other lines might focus more on casual style, specific sports, or more robust support.
Are these waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable mesh, which means they will allow air to circulate but will not prevent water from entering.
What activities are the 'flex pillars' best for?
The flex pillars enhance flexibility and stability, making them beneficial for cross-training activities that involve varied movements, such as gym workouts, light agility drills, and functional fitness exercises.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Due to the stretch laces, adjust the lacing tension slightly or ensure you have the correct size. For minor tightness, wear them for a short period; for significant looseness, consider a different size if possible.
Reduced cushioning over time.
The cushioning is designed to be long-lasting. If it feels reduced, ensure the insoles are clean and properly seated. For significant wear, consider replacing the insoles.
Traction seems inadequate on certain surfaces.
These trainers are designed for multi-surface traction. If you experience slipping, especially on very wet or smooth surfaces, use caution. They are best suited for typical urban and light trail environments.
Mesh upper is dirty.
Gently clean the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or heavy scrubbing, which can damage the material.
