Super comfortable, lots of cushion and support, high quality all around

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2020

I had a pair very similar to these for years and I loved them so much I had to get another. The others are finally feeling a bit worn after such long use. I wasn't even that aware of how worn they were until I slipped these on and wow, what a difference!

They are extremely comfortable and have so much cushioning. I am nearly always a size 7 and have always worn 7s in Skechers and these fit perfectly. They are tight enough that they don't slip up at all for me but they don't feel too snug anywhere. There is plenty of toe room and the width is perfect. I can wear them with thicker athletic socks that are made for arch support and they still fit comfortably. They also have good arch support on their own so they are comfy with any socks!

I also love the look of these! I got the black ones with the rainbow soles and the colors are bright and vibrant. They really pop. The inside is bright pink and the soles have a really interesting look and seem to have good tread too. In general they look very high quality and well-made just as I'd expect. They give just a bit of lift which I like. All the materials seem great quality.

Normally I wait longer to review apparel but given that my last pair literally lasted me for years I feel comfortable giving these a good review already, although I'd update if any issues arose. I have no reason to think these won't be just as long-lasting.

They came very well-packed in a shoe box with cardboard inserts to make sure they kept their shape completely in transit. All in all, this was an extremely pleasant buying experience!

These are soooo comfy for walking on concrete, & roomy enough for socks without ANY sideways or downward pressure or compression on my feet (long story short my feet were accidentally driven over by a 1-ton van years ago & I can't tolerate any downward pressure on my insteps or side pressure to my arches or ball)
Recently I went on a long trip for an extended visit with family & the only XW (Extra wide) Skechers I had were 2 pair with the FauxFur lining i use as winter slippers. I left them at home because I was headed to 70f weather & didn't think about leaving in a new untried pair of Rykas (great tread for ice & the morning I left for the train station it was 20f) in favor of an old beater pair.
I was in tears on my 1st day of real walking, I really couldn't bear the prospect of 3+ weeks 2 - 6 miles a day all over a big city only partially covered by a transit system & ordered these that day.The day following my order I found another pair of Skechers locally in a style I was unfamiliar with (not perfect but a huge improvement) at a thrift shop which handled the shoe issue until my new ones arrived.

Wow these are still my favorite. The soles have great traction, plenty of bounce... springy even, easy to wash, my feet don't charley horse from ball of foot pressure & far less foot pain than any other brand or style I have found. Not experiencing tired floppy-foot problems with long walks either.

Other thoughts: I know several ppl who wear the same style though they don't have the same foot issues who have been equally pleased with these for both comfort & durability.

REALLY HAPPY with this shoe Skechers Performance Womens GO walk 3 slip-on

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

There are several GO Walk shoes that look like this one. Make sure you are selecting this shoe. I always check the soles, because the tops have different colors and fabrics. I'm a grandmother, but my 10 year old granddaughter wears hers all of the time. I bought my first grey pair in April, whore them so much that by the time vacation came I wanted a brand new looking pair for New Orleans. Bought the same second pair ! They are light weight and pack well.. This is the only shoe I've worn where I can walk on ANY surface and not worry about traction or role an ankle on those old uneven street and sidewalks you find in places like NOLA. Great shoe for skirts,capris or jeans. Very comfortable, walked miles each day. I wear them at home, easy to slip on and off going in and out of the house. I through them in the washer with jeans and they wash really well, retaining color and condition. They do stretch out like any other shoe over time. Good cushioning between you and bumpy surfaces, but because the sole is soft and cushiony it might wear faster than other walking shoes BUT the top fabric is super strong and showed no wear even in the old pairs. I hope they keep offering the variety of basic colors, especially the grey for 2016 it doesn't show the road dust. I am a big fan of these shoes and just bought the 3rd pair in black for winter in NW Washington. Can you tell I really like them and tell my friends about the shoe. I wouldn't change anything about the construction. :)

Pretty Good For Me

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2015

Verified Purchase

I tried these shoes in the store prior to buying them. I have a flat arch at the front of my feet(making it wide) and my other two arches are fairly high( making the back of my feet narrow). My medial arch ( one between big toe and heel) is exceptionally high. It is extremely difficult to find good shoes for me because of this, even though i'm only in my early twenties. High heels are usually out of the question because my medial arch will not even touch the shoe! I found these and i've been wearing them for over a month and a half now. I have to say out of all the shoes i've tried on the store, these were the most comfortable.
Compared to the Go Walk 2, these offer more support for the foot and have better cushioning.They actually conform to my feet easier because of the design on the bottom. The individual circular parts of the sole actually press into the crevices of your feet making it very comfortable, while the rest of the sole just adds a bit of cushioning.( To see what i'm talking about look at the pictures. You'll see some from the middle to the top of the toe area that looks different from the rest of the sole. That the main thing that is different from the go walk 2,which adds a little more comfort and well worth the price difference in my opinion. )
The reason I gave them four stars was only because i'm starting to feel some foot pain again after standing on them all day. To remedy this for a few more months, I am getting a very thin insole with gel to relieve some of the pressure that has begun to accumulate on the heels of my feet and the lateral part of the distal portion of my feet( towards pinky toe). This I know is from how I walk and the material at the bottom of the shoes makes them slightly easier to wear out then harder soled shoes. After I few more months I will buy another pair to keep the support and shock absorption at healthy level for my feet( we should change out shoes anyway to help our joints and feet to stay healthy!) However, for the price they are excellent! If you are not able to dish out a few hundred bucks for shoes or are considering other shoes that are below 100 dollars, these are where to look! Obviously try to find a store that sells them and try them on first if you have the option. For the men's shoe it was way to wide in the back of the foot for my boyfriend, while for me it was perfect even with my narrow heel. For my budget I will definitely buy them again once these wear down!

Note: For those looking for shoes that are very hardy and will last on rough surfaces, these shoes are not for you. These shoes have a softer sole. This makes great for casual jobs or walks because it cushions the foot and does conform to a good degree to all feet types. Because of this softer, squishy sole they will not hold up well over time on rugged surfaces ( they are not made for that).They are also very lightweight and are more of a slip on type of shoe. (Again, this shoe is not made for the industrial work environment.) They are also not very slip resistant, but I have noticed that water doesn't seep in the top of the shoes of the black colored version I have. Also I'd like to not that because of the design they are not made for custom orthotics or any large insole, because you simply won't have room! I hugs my feet already( in a good way) and adding a bulky insole will not only hurt my feet but mostly likely won't fit in the shoe before even adding my feet in it. That is why i'm only getting a very thin insole to put inside it. Overall great shoe just keep in mind these things when purchasing!

Amazing for when you work on concrete floors - I perform better at work

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2016

I am 51 and recently started working in a whole food market on concrete floors a few days a week - we work hard and fast 8 to 9 hours a day - my feet were hurting bad - like burning type of pain - I decided to talk to a few other ladies my age (50's) at the place of work - one lady overheard us in shipping and she said - go next door and buy these - you will not be disappointed. Two of us went on our lunch break. The foam was such a pleasant surprise! Now, my feet were still hurting for a few days while wearing these (I was still recovering from the pain-it doesn't disappear that quickly) but it was a different hurt - it was a worked/tired sort of hurting from moving fast for hours at a time on concrete. Now, it has been a week and I've worn these for a total of 4 straight 9 hour days at work and I love them! I want more - I'm waiting on them to offer them in a hunter green or a shade of green as it would match my work outfit. I bought the navy blue/hot pink ones in the size the shoe store said I wore. What is interesting is they said these were not offered in wide or B's or E's, etc. but on here they show that they are offered in B's and E's, and I would order the B since I have wide feet and high arches.

My tip: is I wear performance socks with these - the type they advise people with diabetes to wear. I do not have diabetes but my feet/ankles will swell and hold fluid due to poor circulation (just hereditary) after being on concrete all day, so the performance socks squeeze my legs and help with circulation and make these super easy to slip on and off.

I really appreciate the foam feel of these - very soft/squishy - really like these and I'm so glad I listened to another co-worker and tried these. They are worth it to me because I have noticed a huge difference in my performance at work now that I'm not limping and trying to get through the last couple hours of work. My feet are still sore but that is from a long day of hard work.

These are worth it and I want more in a variety of colors.

I bought these at a local shoe store I am attaching a photo showing the shoe on one foot with the performance sock on and the other shoe beside it to shoe the inside of shoe

The most comfortable walking shoes in the market accoridng to the ladies around me!

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2016

My wife and four daughters loved the previous Go Walk-2 and recommended them to my mother who has issues with her feet and due to her old age. This time, everyone wanted to try out the new Go Walk-3 and so I got all of them this model. My sister also joined the party after hearing about the fuss my family made about these shoes.
Yes, I bought around 6 pairs and then I bought another for my 82 year old aunt in Spain because my mother told her about them.
I can tell you that the unanimous verdict is that these are one of the most comfortable shoes in the market -if not the most comfortable-!
They are excellent, with a high quality build, amazing support, perfect sizing, great grip, comfortable interior and the best thing about them is you feel you walk on water wearing them. My mother (78 years old) now wears them all day -and I mean all day!-. She even wears them inside the house. She ha already ordered another pair.
My kids love the modern looks to them besides all the above.
And my wife never travels without her Go Walk (s) anywhere when we tour Europe or Asia.
Their only downside is when it rains - obviously since they are not made to be water-proof. The other downside is the price of the special colors, but I guess this is why they are "special editions" :)
Otherwise, do your feet (and yourself) a favor and get a pair; you won't regret it.

Thought about returning them but they softened up, I'm keeping them.

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2015

As much as I hate being the bad guy amongst so many positive reviews, I must be honest. I'm a perfect 7 and these are a bit big, maybe not a half-size, but close. There is zero arch support. The back rubs my heel (just the right one) and made a red mark that would have soon been a blister (within 15 minutes) had I not pinched and rubbed the heel for several minutes to smooth it out, which did seem to help. I thought it was the stiff fishing wire they seem to have stitched the hole in the heel with but it wasn't, it was the top of the heel. They don't breathe AT ALL and get very hot. I wore them around the house for a few hours, trying to break them in while trying to decide if I was going to keep them. Other than being too big, rubbing on my heel, and getting too hot, they're comfortable. I did have a problem with the heel slipping (bc they're too big) but that kinda goes away once your foot gets sinked in, at least it did for me. I'd be afraid to wear socks with them for fear it will make them even bigger but breaking them in without socks is painful and the band-aid I applied fell off immediately, considering that the top of the heel keeps scraping it off. I have pretty narrow feet but there isn't a lot of toe room width-wise so I'm a little worried that if I exchanged them for 6 1/2s, they may be too small. I'm pretty disappointed for spending $65. I could get any slipper-type shoe for well less than half this price with no support but then, I guess the impact factor is more important than arch support and the yoga-mat sole is nice. It's exactly what my $22 thongs are made of that I bought in a surf shop in San Diego, that I don't dare leave in the sun while I swim because they'll be too hot to wear otherwise.
UPDATE: I really wanted to like these so much that I kept at it, finally breaking down and wearing them for a few hours with socks, since I really had no other choice before returning them anyway. It worked! They don't bother my heel anymore (even without socks) and they didn't stretch out or get any bigger. I'm keeping these, but if I order more it won't be this model, I'll probably try the Go Walk 2 or the original Go Walk next time.

Fit is a little tight, initially...

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

Here's my thoughts on this shoe: this is a really cute shoe in person, but the fit isn't anything like any of the many Skechers I own. I am a true 9.5 Medium. When sitting, the shoe initially felt a tad tight. It seemed a tad short, and it felt like they used "shrink wrap" on my foot making it more form fitted to my foot. Uncomfortably so. The toe box is shallower and the width runs narrower than my other Skechers. There's a padded area at the heel that felt odd to my right heel, so I'm guessing the stitching is a little "off" in that shoe, but after wearing for awhile, I no longer notice it.

I noticed that once I stood up and walked around, I sank into the insole, and gained more interior space, and the shoes felt more comfortable and supportive. I love the look of the fabric they used for the upper, but it doesn't have a lot of give, which adds to both the sense of being snug, while also supportive. After wearing the shoes inside all day, they've loosened up enough that I no longer feel like they're strangling my feet whenever I'm sitting down.

So final thoughts are I'm glad I ordered my true size, because there is a little give once they've been worn. Medium width is for Narrow to true Medium width feet. If you're on the cusp of Medium, edging toward Wide, I'd order the Wide widths.

Higher cushion factor than GW 2, tighter across the instep...

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2015

Verified Purchase

I have and LOVE many GW 2 shoes, this is my first GW 3 shoe.

For reference, my feet measure 8 WW, though I often buy 8.5 W (ie, Munro) because I like the extra room in the toe area, or a size 9 M if wide widths are not available.
I also have a high arch/instep.

For Skechers GW line, I had been buying size 9. With GW 2's (Hypo, Super Sock and Super Breathe), the fit was amazing---the shoes are so light and cushy, I didn't feel like I was wearing shoes. No tightness (length/width/top of the foot) and no slippage, either...absolutely perfect!

I ordered the same size 9 for GW 3 and the fit is different like another review stated. Because of my high instep, I feel tightness across the top of both feet, my right in particular. This is the first time I sense a break-in period for me with this line. I'm keeping them, but will probably shop for more 2's in the future.

I will update if these break-in to the level of comfort in fit that I've found in GW 2's right out of the box.

If you do not have a high instep, I HIGHLY recommend these shoes because the cushion factor has definitely been kicked up another notch in the GW 3 (which is why I gave a 4 instead of a 3).

UPDATE: There was a very unexpected, but brief break-in period for me. The overall length seems just a bit shorter than GW2 and the fit across the top of my foot is firm, but it's no longer painful. The cushioned support is UNBELIEVABLE---raising my rating to a 5. I literally had no pain or fatigue at all in my feet after teaching all day---I have heel spurs, weak ankles and wrestle with PF on and off----this is another GREAT shoe from the GW line!

July 2015 UPDATE#2: This is kind of embarrassing, but hopefully worth knowing if you go sock-less in your GW's like I do. This particular GW3 model which I have in both beige and black gets stinky. Both colors get stinky. I have a huge collection (GW2 Hypo being my favorite and most worn) so I don't wear them day after day---they're rotated----regularly------with air-dry time (not boxed up)-----and well, they stink. Not across-the-room stink, but they have an odor that my other GW2's that are older have not developed. Going back to 4 stars because I still like them for their insanely comfortable "cushion factor." May try them with sock liners.
