Skechers Performance Men’s Go Walk 4 Review
The Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 sneakers are the perfect option for people who do a lot of walking or standing throughout the day. They offer a decent amount of underfoot cushioning that will keep you comfortable all day long. These sneakers, however, are not great for running or other athletic activities. If you need a pair of athletic shoes, then you might want to look elsewhere.
The Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 slip-ons have a simple and basic design that can fit in with just about anything and anywhere. Some consumers prefer loud and bright colors, but these sneakers don't give you those options. Instead, they provide you with something that fits into any situation or event.
The affordable price tag keeps customers coming back for more. They might not be the most durable sneakers on the market, but that doesn't bother most consumers. The fact that they have a low cost makes up for the lacking longevity. Overall, however, most customers don't have problems either way.
All and all, reviewers love the Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 sneakers. They are the perfect choice for an all-day walking shoe.

Outsole
The button-like pillars on the outsoles of the Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 walking shoes help ensure that you are able to walk comfortably on a plethora of surfaces. Whether you are heading out on a gravel road or a freshly paved sidewalk, these sneakers will keep you comfortable.
The Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 outsole offers you multi-directional traction to make sure you are able to stay on your feet while you're out and about. There is no need to worry about slipping and falling if you encounter a wet spot on the floor or a slick area, these shoes will be able to help keep you upright. Having a decent amount of traction is essential when it comes to your walking or running shoes, thankfully these ones can provide you with what you need.
Midsole
The midsole has a bit of a taper around the midfoot section of the shoes. This is to help allow room for a decent amount of arch support. It helps amplify the cushioning that is present in the midsole to give you the support that you need, where you need it.
The Goga Max foam insole that sits inside the shoe, on top of the midsole, is just one more great features the Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 sneakers provide. This gives you a little extra cushioning in and supports to provide you with a more pleasant walking experience.
Finally, the Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 slip-ons feature bamboo lining. This is beneficial because it can provide you with certain anti-bacterial properties. Nobody likes stinky feet at the end of the day and thanks to the lining of these sneakers you won't have to deal with that hassle. They are going to help prevent odors, keeping your feet feeling and smelling fresh.
Upper
The Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 sneakers have an upper that is made out of sturdy mesh materials. This allows the shoes to stay durable while giving you a breathable and more comfortable experience while you're on the go.
The seamless construction of these slip-ons helps provide you with a more comfortable experience overall. They provide you with better support around your foot since the uppers wrap your foot snuggly and comfortably. Additionally, there are no stubborn seams to rub against your feet, causing blisters and other sores.
The Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 uppers do feature some synthetic overlays to provide you with a little more support. They will also help increase the overall durability of the sneakers since they are located in the high wear areas of the sneakers. The overlays are situated at the heels, toe, and the Quick-Fit Portal. The one that is situated in the hell will also help keep your foot locked into places, increasing the stability of the slip-ons.
The overall design of the uppers, including the materials used, is meant to allow for the natural expansion of your foot. The shoes will move with you when you are taking a step, providing you with all-day comfort and support.
Weight
Of course, there are some instances where you can't avoid the extra weight, such as work boots. However, your walking shoes never have to be heavier than is absolutely necessary.
The good news about the Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 slip-ons is that they are super lightweight. There is no extra weight added to them so you can stay comfortable all day long. There is no reason to feel like you are being held back or slowed down while you're out and about.
The Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 sneakers have an average weight of 5 ounces. Keep in mind that this is for a single shoe, not the pair. Additionally, the measurement is for a size 8.5 medium. The actual weight of your sneakers will vary depending on the size you order.

Comfort
For the most part, customers are content with the overall comfort level of the Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 slip-ons. However, there are a handful of reviewers who were not as impressed as they were with the past iterations. The previous versions of these sneakers featured a much higher comfort level that these consumers preferred.
Whereas some customers don't think that Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 shoes are as comfortable as their predecessors, many still believe these sneakers are exceptionally comfortable. If you are doing a lot of walking or have a job that requires you to stand for extended periods of time, these sneakers are going to be perfect for you.

It is not just the bottoms of your feet that will be pleased by wearing the Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 sneakers. The seamless uppers help prevent irritation on your feet. They will prevent you from getting annoying and painful blisters after extended use.
Support
The midsole of the Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 shoes features Goga Pillars that give you a more anatomically correct design as well as 5GEN cushioning for arch support. The problem is that the support they provide is just not up to par. There are a lot of reports from customers who are not pleased with the support, or lack thereof.
That said, you can always opt to purchase an additional insole. Most customers prefer not to have to do that, since it's an extra cost, but it is still a possibility. If you choose to get an insert or insole, then you can find one that is more specific to your own needs for optimal comfort and support.
Durability
The Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 sneakers have mixed reviews when it comes to durability. Most customers believe that the slip-ons have decent durability, although not the best out there. The shoes do have a lower price tag, so you can expect that they probably wouldn't last as long as some of the higher-end sneakers.
Even though most reviewers had no durability problems with the shoes, there are some who were less than pleased by the overall performance. There have been problems with the Goga Max insole peeling up after only a couple of weeks. Other consumers stated that after only a few months, they started to show signs of significant wear and tear.
Fit
The Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 sneakers don't seem to fit consistently with some other sneakers from the same company. It can become very frustrating to customers when they get their order only to find out they don't fit.
There are a handful of customers who stated that the shoes do fit as expected, which is always a bonus. When it comes to the width, most consumers can agree that the sizing is spot on. The Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 sneakers do come in wide sizes, which is much appreciated by many customers.
Breathability
The mesh uppers allow a decent amount of air to flow through the foot chamber. This air will cool off your feet as well as allow the sweat to evaporate so you can stay dry. There is no reason to be stuck all day in a pair of hot and wet sneakers.
Bottom Line
The Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 sneakers might not be the most durable shoes on the market, but they have a very affordable price tag. Most customers are OK with the lack of the longer lifespan because of the low cost.
Overall, customers are happy with the Skechers Performance Men's Go Walk 4 sneakers. They offer you a decent amount of support and comfort that you need for a day on your feet.
