Needed new shoes for walking the dog and walking for exercise. I have a bad ankle so needed to make sure I felt secure and supported. These did the trick! And they're so lightweight!

For walking daily 3 mile distances in neighbourhood on concrete sidewalks. The shoe is very lightweight which will be nice once the weather is warmer.

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.

Me encanta vuestra marca. Son zapatos cmodos, ligeros y con una buena relacin calidad-precio. Me gustara tener ms variedad en sandalias, aunque en mi nmero es un poco difcil ya que us un 35 y no soy una nia.

Poor SupportGreat Support
I overpronate, so it's important to have medial support in a shoe for me. Even though the material insole was comfortable, I could tell just by looking down that my arch collapsed immediately just standing in the shoe. I ended up going with a pair that had more stability control and returned this pair. Other than that, the shoe was cute and could have been comfortable.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks, New Balance

Poor SupportGreat Support
Was too small, too narrow, and little arch or Achilles support. I am a Brooks user but I was looking for a lighter shoe and liked the look of this shoe, but the quality just isn't comparable, and the price isn't a value if they don't fit or support my foot.

I have a pair of GO Walk 3 that I have been wearing a long time, so I thought I would replace them with another pair from the GO Walk line. Unfortunately while the Go
Walk 5 was quite stylish the toe box was a lot narrower and didn't suit for comfort while walking. I returned them and will keep searching for a replacement.

The shoes are too tight and the back of the left shoe has repeatedly torn up the back of my foot.

The cushion for the foot area is great. The heal has a horrible design that will rip your heal apart.

I've always been able to walk miles on any newly purchased Skechers and I have numerous pairs. This pair was the exception. It gave me blisters on both heels. Disappointed because they're super cute.

Alle drei Paar Gowalk sind mit den neuen Pillars nicht zu tragen. Es bildet sich nach 2 Tagen bereits ein Hgel in der Fussmitte der Bllen neigt sich beim Gehen nach vorne ab.
Der alte Gostep und Gowalk hatte andere Pillars und war super zum laufen. Die Pillars
Waren weicher und anders gleichmig verteilt.
Meine neuen jetzt gekauften kann ich wegwerfen.

These are super cute shoes but horrible for comfort...no toe support...it's weird, by the end of the day my feet kill in these and my toes hurt the worst, not sure if it's the mesh top and not enough support - I have tried multiple days and same result and end up wearing my old shoes and now need to find a new shoe...ugh..
