Skechers Men's Gowalk Flex Slip-On Walking Shoes (Style DX7Y)

Our review of the Skechers Men's Gowalk Flex Slip-On Walking Shoes finds them best suited to walkers who prioritize cushioning and lightweight everyday performance. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of the Air-Cooled Goga Mat insole and ULTRA GO midsole that delivers an immediately noticeable springy, high-rebound feel on pavement and indoor surfaces. These slip-ons favor comfort and easy wear without heavy construction, and they stand out for breathable heathered mesh and a flexible sole that supports long strolls or errands.

Key Features

• Heathered mesh upper: provides breathable coverage and a casual look while remaining lightweight for extended wear.
• Fixed stretch laces: offer a secure fit with slip-on convenience so the shoe stays snug without tying.
• Air-Cooled Goga Mat insole: gives breathable, high-rebound cushioning that reduces foot fatigue on longer walks.
• ULTRA GO cushioning: supplies responsive, low-weight shock absorption for a springy toe-off and smoother stride.
• Flex Pillars traction: promotes multi-surface grip and natural sole flex for stability on sidewalks and gym floors.
• 1 1/4 in heel height: adds a subtle lift that helps walking comfort without feeling clumsy.

Who It's For

These shoes are ideal for casual walkers, commuters, and anyone who wants an easy on/off option with reliable cushioning. The lightweight construction and breathable upper suit people who spend hours on their feet and prefer a responsive yet soft underfoot feel. The vegan-friendly materials also make them a practical pick for shoppers avoiding animal products.

Shoppers who need a very precise or narrow fit, heavy-duty hiking traction, or formal styling should look elsewhere. While the slip-on design and fixed stretch laces work well for most, customers who need strict lockdown or custom lace adjustments may find this silhouette less suitable.
