FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for swimming?
The Quick Dry knit upper is designed to dry rapidly, making them suitable for wear around water and for quick dips. However, they are not designed as performance water shoes and prolonged submersion may affect the materials over time.
Can I wear these for a long hike?
These sandals are best suited for casual walking and everyday wear. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the necessary support or protection for rugged, long-distance hiking trails.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The sandal should fit snugly without being tight, allowing your foot to rest comfortably within the footbed. There should be minimal overhang at the heel or toe. Refer to Skechers' sizing chart for specific measurements.
Are the materials durable?
The sandals are constructed with durable textile and cushioning materials for everyday use. For optimal longevity, avoid exposing them to excessive wear and tear or harsh conditions.
Can I wash these with other clothes?
It is recommended to wash the sandals separately or with similar light-colored items on a gentle cycle to prevent damage to the footwear or other garments.
What is the difference between the GO WALK Flex and other Skechers sandal lines?
The GO WALK Flex series is characterized by its focus on lightweight cushioning (ULTRA GO®) and flexible design, optimized for walking comfort. Other lines might focus on different support systems or casual aesthetics.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. For minor adjustments, break-in periods can help. If significantly uncomfortable, consider if this style is the right fit for your foot shape.
Discomfort on the straps or toe post
This can be common with new thong-style sandals. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to soften and adapt to your foot. If irritation persists, this style may not be suitable.
Reduced cushioning over time
While the cushioning is durable, prolonged heavy use can gradually reduce its responsiveness. Follow care instructions to maintain material integrity. Consider replacement if cushioning significantly degrades.
