Men's Go Walk Max Shoes

I just ordered my fourth pair of this particular model. I got these on the recommendation of my podiatrist who had just dug a hole in my foot to excise a cruel bout of IPK from the ball of my foot. If you're unfamiliar, it's a callus that forms on the sole of your foot and grows upward into the foot. It feels like landing on a nail with every step. It is attended to by routing it out from the foot with a conical file and a blade. It's not unpleasant enough to require anesthesia, but it was painful. My podiatrist told me this type of callus can be prone to growing back, especially if your shoes are not well-padded. One way to hinder its regrowth is to wear shoes that have exceptional padding on that part of the foot. I started wearing this model of shoe within days, and after three years, I'm able to walk without pain--and with only annual visits to my podiatrist to keep my feet in tip-top shape. I wear these on a daily basis, indoors and out. Because I'm diabetic and need to take extremely good care of my feet, it's required to wear something on my feet anytime I'm on them. These are easy to slip on and off so I keep a pair for indoor use only right next to my bed. When the pair I wear outdoors only starts to show wear, I cycle the indoor-only shoes to the outdoor cycle and get a new pair for indoor use. It's working out well so far. They are affordable, long-lasting, and non-slip indoors and out. I am a city-dweller and do a lot of walking on concrete and pavement. They hold up very well even with all that abuse. They offer proper support and the sufficient padding to keep the IPK from growing up into my foot again. They have a mesh top which is durable and attractive enough for wearing almost anyplace you would want a black shoe. I've work them hiking and to a funeral. I'd wear them on the Red Carpet if I had the occasion. Not only all that, they are machine washable (best washed alone so as not to snag the mesh)!

This is my 8th pair of Skechers slipons. I've had a number of different versions - Equalizer Double Play, Expected Gomel, Performance Go Walk 4. I have found them all to be comfortable and stylish. I walk 5-6 miles per day, so I need a shoe that is lightweight and comfortable. I was initially skeptical about the Go Walk Max's basketweave design sole (the round disks on the Performance Go Walk 4 regularly got gravel wedged in them but I really liked the Equalizer Double Play version). When my new Go Walk Maxes arrived I went out for a 4-mile walk, and I was amazed! The feel on the bottom of my foot was soft but substantial. I was already familiar with Skechers' Goga Max insole, so I knew I'd like that, but the injection-molded outsole provided even more cushioning than my well-loved and well-walked earlier pairs of Skechers and it gave noticeable bounceback on the pushoff. The uppers, as expected, were well-designed and well-made. They fit like a glove on my narrow foot and provided good air circulation and no chafing spots. The Go Walk Max is a real hit in my book! 6-week update: Having now walked dozens of miles in these shoes, I can say that their fit and comfort has remained superb. They continue to fit my rather narrow fit like a pair of gloves. But I did have this insight: it's summer, and I walk in my Skechers without socks, which is great since they're so breathable. However, because they fit so tightly and don't have gussets on the tongue, they can take a little effort to get on (i.e., you can't just slip them on your feet standing up), though I don't experience this as a problem. However, I can't see having room to wear them with socks. So if you're planning to wear socks with the Go Walk Athletic Max slipons, I'd either order a size larger or, better yet, look for a pair of Skechers with expandable stretch gussets on the tongue of the shoe.

I've been through 4 pairs now. I have a treadmill desk and log all miles carefully, so I can say confidently I put on 400-450 miles of treadmill use on each pair, plus they are my daily driver so probably closer to 650 miles per year. I echo all the positive remarks about slip resistance, easy to put on, cushioned without feeling like I'm on a balloon, and subdued but professional appearance. On durability, I'm a little disappointed that they only last a year, but this was the first shoe I've tried on my treadmill desk, so I'm not sure how it compares to other shoes. In any case, every shoe has eventually failed in the same way, after a year of constant use: the plastic shaper in the heel falls apart and starts poking at my heel, and the cover of the foam insert disintegrates in a way that starts to wear my socks out quickly. It took me three pairs to realize that's why my expensive socks weren't lasting as long as they should. All said, I'll buy them again. They fit really well and look nice and are very comfortable to walk hundreds of miles in. I'll just need to remember to buy new ones every year!

I use these as "house shoes" to get some additional grip on hardwood floors. They have added stability vs a slipper and the pure comfort with or without socks. So easy to to just slip on and I dont have an issue with them feeling loose. Size is appropriate and accurate. I will be getting another pair for when these wear out eventually.

Very comfortable. The fit is perfect. I am very happy with these shoes. Great cushioning. I usually end up spending a lot more money on shoes that never fit right. This is the second pair I have purchased and I love them both.

Nice looking and very comfortable.

Very comfortable

I was hoping these would be hands free slip-ons. They aren't. At first, I could sometimes get them on without using my hands, but the longer I had them, the more the heel cup would crush down under my heel. the sole is nice and soft, which is a bonus if you have sore feet. Unfortunately, the soles are so soft that there is no lateral support. Walking on uneven sidewalks or ground with weak or sore ankles becomes a trial. Good, lightweight shoes for anyone who doesn't need hand-free slip-ons or who has weak ankles. I haven't had any problems with the soles slipping.
