Skechers Go Walk 5 Black/Black

I wear a size 7 in Skechers, so this 6.5 listing is close enough. It's the same model. That's not the correct product picture, though. That is a picture of the GoWALK 3s. I have several pairs of the GoWALK 5s in several shades (the JOY ones, these blue and white striped ones, a grey pair, and a tan pair and getting one in black when my size is in stock), because they're the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. My feet are sensitive to pressure, become swollen easily if I'm not careful, and have only gotten worse after having children but this Generation (5) is perfect for my feet. Supportive without being restrictive and comforting heel support. They make a Dual Lite line that's similar but without the heel support. Did not care for that line. Love the GoWALK ... MoreI wear a size 7 in Skechers, so this 6.5 listing is close enough. It's the same model. That's not the correct product picture, though. That is a picture of the GoWALK 3s.

Recommended if you need a comfortable shoe that won't strangle your feet while providing solid heel support. Approximately $80 a pair, depending on which color you get. #fashionista

Love them. Easy to slip on and off. I have 3 pairs of these now.I accidentally ordered the last pair twice. But I decided they are worth keeping. I'll have a pair in reserve for next time. First pair of shoes I have found in years that I can wear in my size. These are 8 1/2's another well known brand I had to order 10 1/2!

Disappointing purchase

I’m really disappointed with these sketchers. I’ve been wearing sketchers for many years now in 9.5 US wide fitting. They usually fit perfectly. This new pair are slightly bigger sizing and the sole is the most disappointing , it’s like plastic , hard with no lovely comfort softness. They are horrible.. Sketchers are definitely not going forward but have lost that lovely comfy walk feeling and in the future believe me when I say I will be reluctant to be any more sketchers in the future .

Extremely Comfortable

I bought the Skechers go walk ultra’s because I wanted to take them on my trip to Salem. I leave in June so I have not worn them yet, but I have tried them on and walked a little bit around my house and they feel and fit great no complaints nice squishy, memory foam soles seems like they’re going to be really good for my walking trip. They are always true to size. I’ve had other sketchers slip on’s before and I know that I’ve always been happy with them so overall, I am happy with my purchase.

Most Comfortable Shoes Ever!

These shoes are some of the most comfortable, maybe THE most comfortable I have ever owned. I have a short and wide foot and these fit my size 6W foot perfectly. When I purchased these I already had a pair that I have worn for a couple of years and they are still in great condition. Because I am concerned they will be discontinued I decided to buy this pair to be sure I have a pair to wear for years to come. I highly recommend these shoes.

Nice cushioning/arch support, but runs small

A few months ago I bought the GoRun Pure which I am currently using as my walking workout shoe and thought I'd like to try the GoWalk style, so I purchased a pair. I always wear a 7.5 medium, and that is what I bought. Immediately, I noticed that these shoes were narrower than the other three pairs of Skechers I currently own. I also felt that they were a bit short as well. I couldn't get into them with my cushioned athletic socks at all. I then changed to thinner socks and the fit was still a bit tight everywhere except the heel. The heel is not snug, but okay. For that reason, I don't think a wide width would work for me -- the heel would likely slip off. I'm thinking I have to send these back and try a half size bigger and see if that will solve the problem.

I'm thinking I have to send these back and try a half size bigger and see if that will solve the problem. (I wonder if a lace-up version of the GoWalk 5 would fit better?)As for cushioning and arch support, I do feel that the cushioning is far better than the cushioning in any other brand of walking shoes I've tried over the years. However, the cushioning in the GoWalk 5 is not as good as the cushioning in the GoRun Pure shoes. One advantage is that the arch support is slightly better in the GoWalk 5. It's not great, but better. Also, the insole is not removable, so adding an insole for heel pain or arch support may not work, especially since the shoes tend to be on the narrow/short side as it is. My final concern is that my big toes are likely to put holes through the mesh upper in no time. I wish they would consider putting some extra reinforcement in the toe area, or at least having the toe cap cover more for the front of the shoe.Since I was not able to take these on a long walk outside, I can't say for sure how these will feel after a 3-mile workout on concrete, but I suspect I could only use them for shorter walking workouts. The fact that they are washable is very appealing, but if the sizing isn't right, that won't matter.

Not happy with Sports Direct

Bought some Sketchers Go Walk5 size 6 for £45. When they came wore them and realised the size was massive. They are uncomfortable and slob off when I walk. I’ve had Sketchers for years always size 6 and they have been brilliant. I sent them back as damaged because of incorrect sizing costing me £4.50 postage.Sports Direct returned them to me. I’ve wasted £45 on some badly sized shoes that I cant wea. If they had been made correctly I should have had no problem with a size 6Totally disgusted

Sketchers go walk

I purchased these based on the reviews and needing washable shoes as the shoes I previously wore to work (King Gee Superlites in fabric) are no longer available. Ive got to say I am very disappointed in these Sketchers. The comfort factor and the sole are no different than much cheaper versions of the same type of shoe Ive owned previously for casual wear. I bought a half size bigger as my feet swell standing up all day long but the uppers have stretched a lot after 6 weeks of wear so my feet slide forwards now, washing the shoes only helps for a day and the stretched uppers are back again. They also make your feet sweat and the innersole becomes smelly in a few days.Imo if you want a great pair of work shoes that are totally non slip (I work in a greasy shop) for ... MoreI purchased these based on the reviews and needing washable shoes as the shoes I previously wore to work (King Gee Superlites in fabric) are no longer available.

The KG's are the best shoes I have EVER worn for working 8 hrs a day non stop without a break to sit down. These sketchers may be good for casual walking or standing for a couple of hours in a slow environment, but not for all day long working. A solid sole instead of the broken up sole the sketchers have might improve them but I still would not buy them again. I am going back to the King Gees even though I dont really want leather ones simply because the comfort support and quality are there in bucket loads.

Walking on clouds

I wanted easy on/off. Beige color. These were perfect. So comfortable. Like walking on cushions. Also bought them in black. I can exercise in them or just walk around the house. So glad I going them. And comfortable price too!

Wider and larger than the previous model and ugly as heck

I bought these to replace another pair that Sketchers don't make anymore. My old ones looked nicer (mottled dark grey canvas) but were still in the realm of "boring shoes for nurses or old ladies with bad feet". These new ones have brought that brand of ugly to a new dimension and are only one step away from crocs. But the soles are SO COMFORTABLE, that hasn't changed. These are my "going on 5 hour walks during covid" shoes.My REAL problem with these is they are mysteriously larger and wider than my 3 year old pair despite being the same size # and very similar design. I would have bought a half size smaller if I'd been able to shop in a store. They even make a wide version but these are the normal ones. I guess they're expanding their fits for overweight ... MoreI bought these to replace another pair that Sketchers don't make anymore.
