Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Gowalk Flex trainers are designed for adult males seeking lightweight, comfortable footwear for everyday activities and light cross-training. Their key benefit is the responsive cushioning and breathable design, offering all-day comfort. A potential caveat is that while they offer good traction, they are primarily intended for walking and cross-training, not heavy-duty athletic performance. These slip-on shoes feature an engineered mesh upper with stretch laces for a secure fit, ultra-go cushioning for responsiveness, and an Air-Cooled Goga Mat insole for breathability and high-rebound cushioning. The multi-surface traction outsole with flex pillars provides support and flexibility.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Skechers Gowalk Flex trainers are not waterproof. The engineered mesh upper is breathable, which means it is not designed to repel water.

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
How do I know if I have the right size?

The Air-Cooled Goga Mat insole provides high-rebound cushioning for excellent comfort and support, along with enhanced breathability to help keep your feet dry.
Can I use these for running marathons?
These trainers are designed for walking and light cross-training. For marathon running, a shoe specifically engineered for long-distance running with specialized support and cushioning would be more appropriate.
How do the flex pillars on the outsole help?
The flex pillars on the outsole are designed to provide stability and support during cross-training movements, allowing for more natural flexibility and grip on various surfaces.
What is the difference between these and other Skechers Gowalk models?
The Gowalk Flex line typically features enhanced cushioning systems like Ultra-Go and Goga Mat, along with updated outsole designs for improved flexibility and traction, optimized for walking and light training.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The engineered mesh and stretch laces are designed to adapt to your foot shape over a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Reduced cushioning after prolonged use
While durable, cushioning can decrease over time with heavy use. Ensure the insoles are clean and properly seated. For significant loss of cushioning, consider replacing the insoles.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The multi-surface traction is designed for general use. While offering good grip, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction. Exercise caution on very slick or wet surfaces.
Insole feels uncomfortable
The Air-Cooled Goga Mat insole provides high-rebound cushioning. If it feels too firm, try removing it and inserting a different compatible insole that suits your comfort preference.
