Skechers Men's Gowalk 5 - Elastic Stretch Athletic Slip-on Casual Loafer Walking Shoe

Why did you pick this product vs others?:this is the only shoe that fills all the health needs of this old Vet, easy to put on, very supportive and comfortable, and looks great -besides

Most all Skechers slip ons run 1/4 to 1/2 size large. If you are between sizes like some shoes you're a 10 and other you are a 10-1/2 get a 10. If you are a consistent 10, try 9.5 unless you have wide feet. I wear a 10 in most shoes, 10-1/2 in Adidas. I went 9.5 and toe box is really snug but with a little break-in stretch out, they'll be perfectly, not uncomfortably snug. If you don't go on the snug size the shoes will loosen up a little and being slip ons you'll get heel slip and wish you had laces.I liked the look and thinner more breathable fabric of the Go Walk Flex with the fake laces but those had major heel slip because they don't have the little elastic bands connecting the tongue area with the side of the shoe like these do. These have fairly grippy soles as far as Skechers go which isn't that grippy but better than most their other soles. These soles are spongy and light and not dense rubber so made for comfort not to last 100's of miles on the road.I'd prefer a bit more sporty/younger look than the Dad Loafer look but these are fairly sporty looking for having the Dad Loafer look. In the end you have to go with what fits best and looks second (ya, try to tell your wife/girlfriend that LOL) and these fit the bill.For the price, for very comfortable slip-ons that you can walk long distances in comfortably with very little to no heel slip, I can't think of any other models/brands I tried that can beat these. The fabric could be a bit less thick and more breathable but that's getting pretty nit-picky and only going to come into play in very hot weather outdoors.

We had a family trip planned to go to a couple of very well known theme parks in California. Since I knew that I would be doing a lot of walking, I wanted a new pair of comfortable shoes. I searched all over Amazon and decided on these bad boys mostly because they were slip on and had memory foam soles. I am 5’11” and as my doctor so rudely puts it “morbidly obese”. Whatever!I had worn these shoes a couple of days at the office to break them in before the trip. The day of the trip arrived and these shoes were amazing for going through airport security. They easily slipped off and back on so I didn’t have to do my usual awkward dance of trying to hustle and put my shoes back on standing by the X-ray machine. Usually it ends up with me stumbling around while also trying to put my belt back on, hoping that I don’t moon the poor old lady next to me.These shoes did really good for the first few hours at the theme park. They are lightweight and good breathable material. As the day grew on the memory foam started to develop amnesia. But to be honest I think walking at least 10 miles and standing in line for hours will do that to the best of them. You could probably take a precious ring halfway to a volcanic mountain wearing these. By the end of the night my dogs were dead tired. Needless to say these shoes did their job of covering my feet and I didn’t develop any blisters. They were also real easy to kick off at the end of the long day.

These Sketchers are incredibly comfortable and of course, easy to slip in and out of. This is my second pair of Sketchers. I recently bought a lace up style to use indoors with my exercise bike and rower so I wouldn't be dragging my dirty running shoes in and out of the house.Then I decided I wanted a slip-on pair with no laces for around the house and quick runs to the store or wherever for the non-Winter seasons. These absolutely fit the bill. The one caveat for me is that they ran large for me. I bought my first pair of Sketchers in my normal size of 13W, and they fit fine, or else maybe the laces kept them from feeling too loose. I ordered the same size for these, and when I tried them on, my heels were literally coming out of the shoe when I walked. I ended up exchanging them for a 12W, and that did the trick. The 12s fit perfectly.So, great shoe, but be aware of the size issue. Though as usual, the Amazon exchange procedure was fast and painless, so it's easy enough to exchange them if you get the wrong size.

I initially purchased these for my husband for vacation travel. I was looking to get him a neutral-colored, versatile, lightweight shoe that would be comfortable for daily walking/sightseeing yet suitable for resort casual dining/activities. As a plus, they are easy to slip on/off when going through airport security. My husband is very picky about his attire and these are a departure from his usual choice of footwear, so he was quite skeptical until they actually arrived and he tried them on for the first time. As it turns out, he ABSOLUTELY LOVES them!!! So much so that he now wears them almost daily (whether for business casual days in the office or just out and about on the weekends) AND he recently ordered himself a second pair in another color. He even does a little dance whenever he puts them on. LOL! So far, his first pair have held up well after several months of constant use. The fit is true to size and they are machine washable. This style of shoe can be nicely worn with chinos (shorts or long pants) as well as jeans.
