Skechers Go Run Elevate 2.0 Banyan Hands Free Slip-ins (Style RLTP)

Our review of the Skechers Go Run Elevate 2.0 Banyan finds these sneakers aimed at anyone who wants easy-on everyday walking shoes with strong cushioning. The single biggest reason to consider them is the Hands Free Slip-Ins design combined with Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam that makes putting them on quick and keeps feet comfortable for long walks. The built-in Heel Pillow helps lock the foot in place so the shoes still feel secure despite functioning as a slip-on, making them a practical choice for errands, travel, or casual daily wear.

Key Features

• Hands Free Slip-Ins: The slip-on construction lets the wearer step in and out quickly without tying laces, ideal for busy mornings.
• Heel Pillow: The exclusive heel pillow holds the foot securely in place, reducing slippage while walking.
• Air-Cooled Memory Foam: The cushioned insole provides plush, breathable comfort that adapts to the foot during extended use.
• ULTRA LIGHT Midsole: Lightweight, responsive midsole cushioning delivers support without adding bulk or weight.
• Engineered Mesh Upper: Breathable mesh with elastic bungee laces offers a flexible fit and airflow for everyday wear.
• Designed for Walking: The overall construction balances cushioning and slip resistance, making these a solid walking shoe option.

Who It's For

These sneakers are best for people who prioritize convenience and comfort: frequent walkers, commuters, or shoppers who want a shoe they can slip on without fuss. The breathable engineered mesh and memory foam insole suit those who spend hours on their feet and prefer lightweight cushioning over a heavy, structured running shoe.

Shoppers who need a very tight performance fit for fast-paced running or those who require specialized orthotic support may want to look elsewhere, since the Hands Free Slip-Ins design emphasizes ease of entry and comfort rather than custom lacing precision.
