Skechers GOwalk Max Athletic Air Mesh Slip On Walking Shoe - Max

Our review of the Skechers GOwalk Max finds it best suited to everyday walkers and people on their feet for long shifts who value cushioning and easy on/off wear. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a stretchy, breathable mesh upper and the high-rebound sole system that delivers noticeable shock absorption and lightweight cushioning for long walks or work shifts.

Key Features

• Stretch fit upper: The super lightweight STRETCH FIT fabric upper conforms to the foot for a secure, sock-like feel that reduces hotspots during extended wear.
• Slip on design: The slip on construction with a heel pull loop makes it quick to put on and remove, useful for busy routines or quick breaks.
• High-rebound midsole: The 5GEN injection-molded compound provides lightweight cushioning with memory retention to help absorb impact on walks.
• Air Cooled Goga Mat insole: The padded insole gives additional shock absorption and underfoot support for standing or walking long periods.
• Breathable mesh construction: A nearly one-piece mesh upper improves ventilation so feet stay cooler during activity.
• Machine washable: The gentle cycle cold washability keeps the shoes easy to refresh without special care steps.

Who It's For

The GOwalk Max is ideal for walkers, nurses, retail workers, and anyone who wants a lightweight, cushioned daily shoe that slips on easily. People who prioritize cushioning, breathability and simple care will appreciate the supportive Goga Mat insole and 5GEN midsole.

Those who need firm lateral stability for intense lateral movement or require a precise, narrow fit should look elsewhere, since the stretch fit upper and reports of running a bit large mean a snug, stability-focused shoe may be a better match for those needs.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very comfortable cushioning from the 5GEN midsole and Air Cooled Goga Mat insole.

• Easy slip on design with heel pull loop speeds wear and removal.
• Machine washable construction makes maintenance simple.

Cons
