Skechers Go Walk High Waisted 7/8 Legging - Comfortable Pocketed Fit

In this review of the Skechers Go Walk High Waisted 7/8 Legging the bottom line is simple: these leggings suit anyone who wants a comfortable, workout-ready legging with useful pockets and a supportive high waist. The reviewer found the GOFLEX nylon and spandex blend delivers a soft, cotton-like hand feel while still offering moisture-wicking performance for sweat-prone sessions. The double-layer compression waistband helps with midsection support, and exterior side pockets are deep enough for a phone, making these a practical pick for walks, gym classes, and errands.

Key Features

• GOFLEX fabric: A nylon and spandex blend provides four-way stretch and a matte finish for a comfortable, move-with-you fit during workouts.
• Moisture-wicking: Fabric pulls sweat away from the body to help keep skin drier during higher-intensity activity.
• UPF 40+ protection: Built-in sun protection helps reduce UV exposure for outdoor exercise.
• Double-layer high waist: The compression waistband offers midsection support and a smoothing effect without digging in.
• Exterior pockets: Side pockets plus a stash pocket at the interior waistband let you carry a phone or keys hands-free.
• Flatlock seams: Seams are designed to reduce chafing for longer comfort on runs or long wear days.

Who It's For

These leggings are aimed at active women who want a durable, comfortable 7/8 length legging that transitions from gym to errands. The fabric and construction make them a good match for walkers, light runners, studio classes, and strength training where four-way stretch and moisture management matter.

Those seeking a very high-rise, fashion-forward waist or a full-length legging should look elsewhere, as some customers find the rise slightly lower than expected and the inseam is a 23' length that hits below the knee for most heights.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comfortable, soft fabric with a matte finish that feels like cotton but performs like activewear.
• Pockets are practical and deep enough for a modern smartphone.
• Compression high-waist offers genuine midsection support and smoothing during activity.

Cons

• Length and waist height receive mixed reactions; some users find the waist not as high as expected and the 23' inseam shorter than preferred.
• Light-sensitive users should check for any slight sheerness in certain colors or sizes before intense activity.
