Skechers Women's Go Walk Original Slip-On Walking Shoes

I absolutely love these shoes and would surely perish without them. Because they are so comfortable and easy, I have a lot of different colors. I often wear without socks and they never give me blisters which is heavenly for traveling. I am all about comfort, they are light but fit so great- absolutely a winner for me.

I was looking for a slipper to wear post bilateral knee replacement surgery and not having any success in finding a slipper with good support, a non-slip sole and an enclosed heel. I had seen an ad for a Sketcher's espadrille-like shoe and was checking those out on the Sketcher's website when I saw the Go Walk shoe. Shopping options in Grand Junction, CO are not so great, Penney's had the shoe if you like grey and wear a size 10 or a size 5; but at least I was able to get a look at it, I could not believe how light weight it was and also good looking. Of course I knew just where I could find a pair and have them delivered before my surgery date, only 5 days away. Amazon had the shoe in a multitude of colors, all available to fit my size 8 foot! Conservative and practice gal that I am, I ordered a pair in Navy Blue. I am beyond pleased with the Go Walk shoe, it fits perfectly and has just enough give to fit over my support hose and a thick sock. I am 11 days post bilateral knee replacement surgery, walking around the house with my walker or cane, working out with my physical therapist and riding my recumbent bicycle. The non slip cushy sole is a perfect for all my activities and the shoe is light and comfortable enough to wear while I sit up in my recliner, they are so comfy that I almost forget I have them on. With the help of my long handled telescoping shoe horn I am easily able to put them on by myself (another Amazon purchase). Nurses and therapists have all admired the shoe. I will definitely be ordering more Go Walks in other colors, they will be the perfect alternative to sandals this summer! (P.S. - they are washable!)

I have 4 pair of these. They are comfortable for walking and running errands. Fit is true to size.

I have multiple foot issues that cause me various levels of pain. Suffice it to say that I need a minimum amount of a) arch support b) ball of the foot cushioning in a non-constricting, bunion-friendly shoe. Plain old flats don't cut it for me at all because they lack those 2 components. I'm been curious about the Skechers line, but the price has held me back, along with reviews that say the shoes don't last that long. I recently purchased a Skechers-LIKE shoe at Kohls (Croft & Barrow brand), and liked it. Plus the price was very user-friendly. I was only able to find ONE COLOR in my size, so I started searching online. I found this model on Amazon - for less than the $60 dollars that's usually listed for a Skechers shoe, so I decided to give it a shot! I find them comfortable and see no flaws in the quality of the shoe. As for the durability, time will tell. I'll report back is that ends up being an issue. I'm pretty picky about style, and for a casual shoe, these pass the test ... they're actually kind of cute! I love the fact that they have adequate cushioning BUT are still lightweight. I find the typical athletic shoe simply too bulky/clumsy/heavy for me. These fit more like a slipper BUT with some support, so as far as I'm concerned, better than a slipper. SIZING: I normally wear a 9 1/2 wide or a 10, depending on the shoe. My foot's just kind of wide, but I usually need the extra width to accommodate the bunion. Based on other reviews & comments (that the shoes are naturally kind of wide and tend to run big), I ordered a 9 B(M) ... which in my vast shoe-buying experience indicates a REGULAR width. What I received feels plenty comfortable; perhaps just a teensy, tiny bit too wide, but not enough that the shoes flop around on my feet, so that's fine. But here's the thing: The BOX says: size 9 (Eur 39, UK 6, etc). INSIDE the shoe, near the heel, is says "W9" (which I would interpret as 9 WIDE) INSIDE the shoe, in another spot, it says size 9 (Eur 39, UK 6, etc.) So, I'm not sure what I got ... but I decided it's not worth the effort & time to return/exchange. They fit ok, so I'm keeping them. But I couldn't tell you for sure whether the shoe is mislabelled (or the box) or which size I really got. It works out well for someone like me who's borderline regular-wide width. If you're a narrow - you might want to look for another shoe ...

I purchased these shoes in the black/white combo on a whim in preparation for my eighth year of teaching. I read the glowing reviews, with people falling all over themselves trying to explain how comfortable these shoes are. I thought to myself, "What were they wearing before, miniature beds of nails? Duct-tape wraps filled with shards of glass?" I found the reviews to be a little ridiculous and hyperbolic, but I figured - what the heck? I bought the shoes and when they arrived, I noticed that they looked almost exactly like a pair of water shoes I bought on vacation this summer, and I was a little dismayed ("Why didn't I just wear my $10 water shoes, if that's what these are?"). Nonetheless, I slipped them on and took my dogs for a walk. The shoes were comfortable, and there was no irritation/rubbing/need to "break them in" at all. Even so, a 20-minute walk is hardly the true test of a shoe's mettle. I went whole hog and wore them to work the next day, when I was literally on my feet and working the at least 9 of the 10 hours I was there. It wasn't until I finally got home that I realized I hadn't thought about my feet all day. I hadn't lamented the shoes, my feet weren't sore or tired, and I didn't feel the need to rip my shoes off as soon as I walked in the door. I was impressed, but not quite sold. I wore the shoes several more times over the next two weeks, sometimes for very very long work days, and I still had absolutely no soreness or pain in my feet. I don't even know if I could say that about my best sneakers, which I have always held up as the paragon of comfort. Now I understand what all of these crazy reviewers were talking about. These shoes really are above and beyond every other piece of footwear I've ever tried. I'm doing a six-mile charity walk tomorrow, and I'll be eschewing my sneakers in favor of the Go Walk slip-ons. A few notes: -The white soles do get grimy pretty quickly, but that's to be expected for a white sole interacting with the real world. -My feet sweat a little while in these shoes, but the fabric has some wicking properties that make sure your feet feel dry and comfortable. I'm sure the shoes will stink pretty amazingly after a while, but you can actually throw these right in the washing machine, and Febreze can work wonders between washes. I always wear these without socks or liners, so mine will stink up quicker than if I wore something between the shoe and my foot. -As for sizing, I went with an 8, which is my size in flats, and that ended up being perfect. These are roomy in the toe box, but not overly so, so I imagine a variety of foot widths would do well here. I recommend ordering your true size in flats, or up a half size if you intend to wear socks with them.

EDIT 5/13: I have put these shoes to the ultimate test and I must retract my original rating of 4 stars and give these shoes a glowing 5 star review. I wore these shoes while I was on my feet all day unpacking, as I have just moved. Later in the day I would switch to flip flops to let my feet air out, but within an hour I would feel pain in my feet and pressure points in my lower back. When I switched back to the Skechers the pain went away. But wait, there's more. I just spent an entire week at Disney, and my feet never felt sore or tired in these shoes. Five full days of walking and standing in line, and not a speck of soreness nor blisters. It's like a dream. I switched into other shoes for just one evening and again within the hour my feet did feel sore. I don't even wear socks with them and although my feet get a tad sweaty, they do not smell thanks to the no-smell-technology or whatever they call it. I will wear these shoes out and I will buy more forever and ever as long as Skechers makes them. I want to buy a pair in every color right now, but that would be financially irresponsible. I did however just buy a pair of Skechers Go Runs because I now firmly believe in this line of shoes, but I do need something a bit more supportive to run in. I leave my original review below in case others may have the same apprehensions as me at first. They will disappear, I promise. ------------- Original Review: These are incredibly comfortable shoes which require very little break in time. The one drawback I've discovered is my feet seem to sweat pretty easily in them, I wish they were more breathable. I live in Florida so I'm walking around in some pretty serious heat and humidity, perhaps I should have gotten the mesh ones. I also found that the top of the shoe seems a little big, I almost thought I'd have to size down, but then I realized my toes were up against the front so I guess that's just how the shoe is. But overall, for a walking shoe these are pretty great and comfy, they really are like walking on air.

I've been buying this footwear for a long time and always loved it. Skechers Go walk is the most comfortable walking shoe on the planet. But over the past year I notice the fabric is no longer as soft and smooth as before. It feels and looks cheaper than my old versions. I'm disappointed but will continue to buy this style as it's easy to slip in, great for long walks and lasts a good many years. Hope the brand reverts to it's previous specs though.

Okay, so I rarely do these review thingys unless I TRULY love a specific product and what it has to offer. I first bought the grey colored Go walks at my local DSW when this style had just come out. It cost me a whopping $60 after taxes! But it was sooooo worth every penny!!! I was afraid that since I was a woman more on the bigger side that the bottom of the shoes would start to flatten out over time. I've worn my grey Go Walks nearly everyday for the past 4 months, and they are holding up better than I thought! The sole never flattened, thus allowing amazing never ending comfort! After months of great wear, I decided to purchase yet another pair of Go Walk, I decided on the Navy ones. I even brought them on vacation with me and my friends to Taiwan, and boy were they helpful! Everywhere you went you had to walk miles and miles. We walked the equivalent of at least SEVEN miles a day (no kidding!). Every one of friends complained of foot pain except for me, thanks to my awesome Go Walks! My foot was seriously getting a massage every time I took a step lol! These shoes are definitely one of a kind, you can dress them up or dress them down. While in Taipei my friends and I decided to splurge a bit and went to a VERY expensive restaurant (each person spent at least $70 on ONE entree). I was able to wear a nice dress with my Go Walks and it was still very cute! These shoes are cute and most importantly, comfy! You won't be disappointed! *I only have one advice when wearing these shoes! Wear a COTTON foot liner when wearing your Go Walk, especially if you're gonna walk long distances or work out in them. Sweaty feet = stinky feet! But no worries, these shoes are machine washable! *I have two pairs of Go Walks and they BARELY stretched out after numerous wears. You'll hardly notice any stretching. Even if your shoes does stretch out, it'll still be cute and comfy :)
