Customer Reviews SKECHERS Performance Go Walk 5 - Alive

If you are overweight and walk for exercise (meaning you walk as fast as possible for as long as possible), you won't get enough cushioning from a walking shoe. My walking workouts consist of 3 miles, 3 times a week, on concrete surfaces. I walk as fast as possible, meaning there is more impact on my foot than there would be with casual walking. I've tried several times to use these for my walking workouts, but they do not provide adequate cushioning for my needs. However, I highly recommend Skechers running shoes if you are an overweight walker. I currently use a pair of Go Run shoes for my walking workouts and they are a huge step up, in terms of cushioning, from the typical walking shoe. My only recommendation is to add some type of heel cushioning (I use soft rubber heel cups), as running shoes are designed for a different type of foot strike, leaving an overweight walker feeling as though the heel isn't cushioned enough. As for these GoWalk shoes, I wear them for casual walking (shopping, doing errands, etc.) and they are perfectly adequate for that use. I love the style and the color, but I cannot wear my usual cushioned athletic socks in these shoes, as the fit is too tight. If you want to wear cushioned athletic socks with these shoes, I recommend going up a half size. I hope this review helps others like me who walk for exercise and have difficulty finding shoes with adequate cushioning to support excess weight. For people of normal weight, or those who do not walk for exercise, the shoes will be just right. Otherwise, take a look at any of the Skechers performance running shoes. Your feet will thank you.

Just what I needed to replace my last pair of GoWalks.

Good quality

I am on my feet a lot and my feet would hurt. Now that I got these shoes the pain isn't as bad.

Love this shoe. I wear it to walk in after a long day at work.

Most comfortable shoes you can own. Light and very easy on the feet.

I walk 2 to 3 miles I. The morning and these shoes are so comfortable!

I wear these for work, I walk a lot. My feet do not hurt at the end of the day. I love them so much I bought two, one for everyday, one for shows. I work for an event center.

I love these for casual walking on sidewalks and easy trails.They are comfy and light, with a very cute design. I actually own the black/blue and the black/pink because I like them so much.

I overall feel any Skechers brand I try I enjoy the style, comfort and they also wear well! I will probably never buy a different brand because once I find a comfortable shoe that makes my feet feel well I stay with this selection. I highly recommend also, because they ship fast, arrive when expected, and a cute added feature is sending along a couple added surprises with shipment! You just can't go wrong with these shoes!

Use the shoes mainly for daily walking and exercise class. Sometimes wear them as casual shoes. Still being broken in. Love that they stretch a little.

I love these shoes! The goga mat sole is so comfortable. I tried the arch support style and it didn't fit correctly so returned them and purchased these for 30$ less.

Bought them to start walking and I find that even the other 2 pair that I have are great for walking!!!!
