Skechers Men's Gowalk 4 Incredible-Athletic Slip-on Casual Loafer Walking Shoe

Having owned (and worn out) several pair of the Go Walk 2's, I can definitely say that I preferred their total fit and feel from a sizing pewrspective. However, that knobby sole on the Go Walk 2 often caused me an others I know that wore it to stumble and trip. It was time to get a new pair and I decided to give the Go Walk 4 a try.I wear an 8.5D very comfortably in most shoes and that was the case with the Go Walk 2. The narrower toe design of the Go Walk 4 absolutely required that I order a 9D for this shoe. Lots of people here have mentioned this issue and it is the very reason that Amazon will suggest a larger size before checking out. Even with a 9D, my toes are right at the inside front end of the Go Walk 4. Going to an even larger size would present too much heel slippage, so the 9D is as far as I can go. I am liking the "sole" design of the Go Walk 4 without all those grippy knobs that plagued the previous designs.My concern is that Sketchers is losing their perspective of just how comfortable a wider toe area is (Go Walk 2, etc) versus the narrower design they chose for the Go Walk 4. That was a strange departure that has produced an oft reported fit-issue with this new design. This could be my last pair of Sketchers and I'm certainly not buying more for right now. That is actually a shame because Sketchers slip-ons have been my go-to shoes for several years. I hope that someone at the company is addressing the design problem with the Go Walk 4 and will bring back the wider toe area for comfort and proper fit.

I have owned two pairs of the Go Walk 3, and have worn them down with miles of walking daily. I was looking forward to the 4, both because of the perceived upgrade and what appears to be a reinforced toe area. Unfortunately, the 4 doesn't have the thicker midsole height of the 3, which means the heel is taller.I work at a standing desk and have been happy with the 3 version for more than a year for the comfort while standing. The taller heel of the 4, with no midsole height, causes my foot to drift forward in the shoe and squeezes my toes a little. I have wide feet and find the wide sizes of the 3 and 4 to fit very well, but when my foot moves forward in the 4, it eventually starts to hurt the toes.I find myself having to slide my feet back a little every half hour or so when I'm standing.The shoes are still great for walking and are still very light!My only reason for docking a star is the 3 was a better shoe for standing and walking overall.

Very recently bought a pair of these, and a pair of Skechers for Work Men's Flex Advantage Slip Resistant Mcallen Slip On through Amazon, as well as a pair of Skechers Sport Men's Equalizer Double Play Slip-On Loafer (bought in a brick & mortar outlet in Sept. '16).All were purchased in men's size 9, and can pass for casual shoes rather than looking like typical running shoes or "sneakers"Despite the uncertainty of purchasing shoes online, I went ahead and did it. Here's my experience:Sport Men's Equalizer Double Play Slip-On Loafer:Because these were the first pair I bought, (again, in a brick and mortar outlet where I could try them on), I used them as the "standard" by which to judge the others.These are very light, and roomy to the point where I felt they may come off my feet in periods of high activity. They're fine for just walking around or hanging out on the deck, by the grill, or other leisurely activities.The toe has a wider "box", and my feet don't feel cramped at all. Very comfy, but not for active sports, plus they don't look so much like "sneakers", and, thankfully, have only minimal orange-colored accents or flair.The inner sole is wide; too wide for my narrow foot, and flat. There's no material inside the shoe that provides any amount of arch support. (My doctor has told me I have flat feet, but have never noticed any pain from shoes that provide no extra arch support. If you're in need of that, don't expect it from these shoes).Even with socks, they still fit comfortably loose.Performance Men's Go Walk 4 Incredible:These are very light, but very snug, obviously not made from the same last/form as the Equalizer Double-Play Slip-Ons.VERY snug for a size 9 These are much narrower, with a more sharply-rounded toe, and some leather-like material around the toe and the heel.The sole, also, is much narrower than the Equalizer Double-Play Slip-Ons. While I can wear these for a few hours, they're too snug for all-day wear. I should have ordered a size 9 1/2, but again, the size I picked was based on how the Equalizer Double-Play Slip-Ons fit. I probably should have returned these, but I've been wearing them for a couple of days and the soles have begun to show the wear. I'll likely order these in a 9 1/2 for extra comfort.Thankfully, these have no neon-colored accents.Skechers for Work Men's Flex Advantage Slip Resistant Mcallen Slip OnThese fit very much like the Performance Men's Go Walk 4 Incredible: narrower, and very snug compared to the Equalizer Double-Play Slip-Ons, apparently built from a smaller last/form than those.These do have some arch support, a very different sole/tread pattern, and are stiffer than either of the other pair.These, too, are very light, with some leather-like material on the outside of the shoe around the toe and heel.Like the Performance Men's Go Walk 4 Incredible, I can wear these for a few hours, but will likely order a pair in 9 1/2.These, too, lack any flashy colors or accents and can pass for "casual shoes" instead of looking like sneakers.Bottom line: it seems as if Skechers has either changed the last/mold/form they use to make their size 9's, (at least since I bought my first pair in Sept. '16), or they use different ones for different models; I don't know for sure. If you can end-up with the right size, these should prove to be comfy for all-day wear. Except for the Sport Men's Equalizer Double Play Slip-On Loafer, you might do best to order 2 pairs: 1 in your normal size, plus one in a half-size larger, and fully expect to return one of the pair.

Very comfortable shoe that is cool to wear in hot weather without socks. However one downside if you are walking on gravel, you will need one of those devices to take stones from horses feet as they pick up bits of gravel in the tread gaps and then make noise when walking on a hard surface as well as scratching laminate/wood flooring.

Very comfortable, use for travelling as its dead easy to slip off and on again, very low sides so you need really low profile socks and suspect they wouldn't offer much support on uneven ground but great for city streets. Keeps the feet cool in hot climates.

Very similar to the sort I already have, but different. Sole seems same, but top shiny , not as robust looking. Same size ordered, but too small overall compared. Different style number, and it appears that “my” style is not available. Bitterly disappointed, as old ones the most comfortable shoes (and worn every day for at least 18 months) that I can remember in 88 years ! Sadly returned.

These are my husband’s favourite style of Skechers everyday sneakers. He hasn’t worn them out and about yet but was pleased with the fit and design. He likes the idea of the added toe protection although I’m not so sure, as I won’t be able to do running repairs on this new style in order to give him a few more months of wear. These sit slightly higher on the front of his foot compared to the Go Walk 2 and 3 but should still be as comfortable to wear on holiday. He always likes the shoe and sole to match in colour and wishes Skechers gave this option for colours other than black..

so great for walks and smart/casual when we are allowed to do such things again. slight issue is the size I ordered a 9.5 which is my normal size, but its slightly tighter than normal. to be fair that could be due to shape of shoe plus I'm using llama wool socks lately which are on the thicker side but super comfy.
