Customer Reviews SKECHERS Performance Go Walk 5 - Qualify

Size and fit was good. The problem however related to the shoe tread which seemed to protrude onto the bottom of my feet. Those traction nubs on the bottom press thru and cause discomfort. Sent these back and ordered smooth bottom shoes.

These were terrible for walking- may as well have been walking barefoot on the pavement. I am a tour guide that gives walking tours and I wore these one time for 2hours and they were horrible. I have purchased many Skechers and Go Walk shoes and always like them. This pair was not good.

I really gave these shoes a try. I walk several miles everyday for work. I bought 3 different types of insoles for them. Tried them as is. These are the most uncomfortable and painful shoes I’ve ever worn. Like walking barefoot. They have no arch support and no padding. Most painful on the ball of the foot. I’ve had them over a month and gave them a fair shot. They’re awful in my experience.

I have never had problems with Skechers before but these felt a little narrower then what they should have been. It felt like my big toes were right on the edge of the sole and began to hurt after a while. The shoe other than that, felt nice. Good cushion and felt like walking on pillows. There didn't seem to be any arch support however, and my ankle and calf on one foot started to hurt along with my lower back after the first hour of wearing these at work. The second day of wearing them, however, was not as bad. I will probably save these for quick trips out but not for something I will be on feet for a long period of time.

These are some of the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever purchased. However, I’ve already worn holes in the insoles after just three months of wear. My shoe size makes it almost impossible to find a replacement, so the shoe is worthless now.

As others say, they are extremely soft. And squishy. The problem is that the shoe has zero structure. The uppers are a very stretchy fabric and the bottoms are a very soft and pillowy, so you have the net effect of walking with a pair of thick pieces of foam strapped to your feet. Yes it's squishy and feels like "walking on a cloud," but shift your weight just a tiny bit and you end up walking over- or under-pronated. My wife and daughter noticed this on a trip: walking behind me they kept commenting how my foot rolled inward excessively on every step - not the way my normal gait is at all. Now I only wear them for short walks, and ended up getting a pair of Sam Hubbards with the Vibram sole. These have structure and a good, shock absorbing sole, so my walk looks normal again.
