Skechers Men's Gowalk Flex Slip-On Walking Shoes (Style C6F8)

In this review of the Skechers Men's Gowalk Flex Slip-On Walking Shoes the bottom line is simple: these are a comfortable, lightweight option for men who want easy-on walking shoes with modern cushioning. The shoes are best for everyday walkers and anyone prioritizing breathability and responsive underfoot feel. The reviewer found the combination of the Air-Cooled Goga Mat insole and ULTRA GO midsole delivers a noticeably springy, low-profile ride that keeps feet comfortable on multi-surface strolls.

Key Features

• Heathered mesh upper: provides breathable coverage and a casual look while allowing air flow during long walks.
• Fixed stretch bungee laces: offer a secure, slip-on fit that is easy to pull on yet holds the foot in place for short walks.
• Air-Cooled Goga Mat insole: adds breathable, high-rebound cushioning that helps reduce fatigue on longer outings.
• ULTRA GO cushioning: supplies lightweight, responsive shock absorption for better comfort with each step.
• Flex Pillars outsole: gives adaptable multi-surface traction and natural flex for walking on pavement or park paths.

Who It's For

The Skechers Gowalk Flex is aimed at men who want a fuss-free slip-on walking shoe that still feels cushioned and light. It suits daily walkers, commuters who walk to transit, and anyone who prefers a breathable, vegan-friendly athletic shoe for casual activity.

Those who need a very snug, performance running fit or precise stability for long-distance hiking should look elsewhere, as the slip-on bungee system trades some lockdown for convenience and a roomier toe box that may not suit everyone.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comfortable, high-rebound insole and responsive ULTRA GO midsole for prolonged walking comfort.
• Very lightweight construction that reduces foot fatigue during daily wear.
• Breathable heathered mesh upper looks clean and keeps feet cooler.
• Easy to slip on with bungee lacing while still offering reasonable hold for casual use.

Cons

• Fit can be inconsistent for some users; a few report the foot moves inside the shoe, so try before committing to a size.
• Not intended as a technical running or hiking shoe where aggressive traction and rigid support are required.
