In this review of the Gowalk 5 Men's Lace Up walking shoe, the bottom line is simple: these are practical, comfortable trainers built for everyday walking and light workouts. The reviewer found the greatest reason to buy is the combination of a breathable mesh upper and the Air Cooled Goga Mat insole that delivers lively, high-rebound cushioning-enough to make long walks and treadmill sessions noticeably easier on the feet. They arrive as lace-up sneakers with fit options including medium (D) and extra wide (4E), and they balance performance comfort with casual looks suitable for daily wear.
Key Features
- Breathable mesh upper: The ventilated fabric helps keep feet cool during walks and workouts by improving airflow around the foot.
- Lace-up fit with width options: Adjustable laces plus available medium (D) and extra wide (4E) fittings make it easier to achieve a secure, comfortable fit.
- Air Cooled Goga Mat insole: A lightweight, high-rebound topped insole provides cushioning that returns energy and helps wick moisture away from the foot.
- Ultra Go cushioning and comfort pillars: Responsive midsole elements add underfoot support for walking, light jogging, and gym routines without heavy bulk.
- Machine washable convenience: Easy to clean construction lets you refresh the shoes after frequent use or travel without special care.
Who It's For
These shoes are best for men who spend a lot of time on their feet-walkers, gym-goers, and travelers who value lightweight cushioning and breathability. The shoe is also a strong choice for anyone who prefers a casual athletic look they can wear to and from work or around town.
Shoppers who need aggressive arch correction, specialized running performance, or trail-ready grip should look elsewhere; the Gowalk 5 focuses on everyday walking and mixed gym work rather than long-distance running or orthotic-level arch support.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Comfortable, lightweight feel that works for all-day walking and daily wear.
- Breathable mesh upper helps with ventilation during warm weather and workouts.
- Supportive, high-rebound Air Cooled Goga Mat insole that cushions and wicks moisture.
Cons
- Arch support is mixed among users, so those needing strong corrective support may find it insufficient.
