- Although Skechers may not be known for their cutting-edge fashion, they’ve made some big strides in the travel world with their latest travel shoe-the GOwalk 4. View Our Full Review: packhacker.com/travel-gear/sk...

10:00 - The Verdict
When you think about the world’s most fashionable brands, let’s be honest, Skechers isn’t going to be at the top of your list. The footwear company has always put performance and comfort before cutting-edge fashion-allowing a certain “comfortable Mom and Dad shoe” stigma to arise-which, to be fair, has worked out very well for them, considering they’ve become a global juggernaut with over 2500 stores in 160 countries.
In this review, we’re going to be checking out the GOwalk 4’s-the latest iteration of their travel shoe-which we have been testing for the last two months. Oh, and we’ve previously tested the GOwalk 3’s for over a year, across seventeen countries, in various climates and terrains-so we like to think we know the GOwalk series pretty well.
Overall, After some extensive testing with the GOwalk 3’s, plus our recent experiences with the new and improved GOwalk 4’s, we can’t recommend these shoes enough. The GOwalk 4 is an incredibly comfortable shoe that won’t let you down, even if you walk all day, every day. It is clear that Skechers is slowly brushing off that unsavory stigma by making some great shoes that not only feel good, but look good too. Our gripes were minimal, and quite frankly, have little to no effect when it comes to everyday use of the shoes.

What are your favorite shoes to travel with? 👟
nike epic react!
Thanks for sharing, MicK MousE!
Skechers dual lite for men can ware in college or only for walking..... Mam
@@shaikvaseem1371 - nice!
@Amy Smith Sounds like a steal!

I replaced my worn out Hush Puppies loafers with this as my school shoes 3 years ago and it was the best decision I made even though it was above my mom's budget back then. I wear the gowalk 4 wherever I go and there were even times when I think if I should go for comfortability (gowalk) or style (converse) for the day. My mom said I should have gone a half size bigger for more comfort since I bought it exactly as my foot size.
I had GoWalk3 and now GoWalk4 and live in them 😍🥰❤️ and I never wear socks!
I have two pairs of Skechers. One are the gogo max in all black and the other is called the go walk 2 that I’ve probably had for four years. I love your accent
I have the older version. EXTREMELY lightweight, breathable, comfortable for flat terrain. I do wish they were more aesthetically pleasing. But these lasted 2 years with heavy use. Great value!
Excellent - glad they're working for you!
Tom
This was such an excellent and thorough review. Made me login to leave a comment. Thanks a lot.
Great to hear Raven! Glad it was useful :)
My shoes did smell and I don't travel, but I do walk in hot weather. They stunk. I am hopeful they will wash well in the washing machine. Super comfy shoes!
I have them and I love them I couldn't go out without wearing them
Since me and my family know skechers we almost never leave home without it except any formal occasion like wedding.. i wear it in my house also!! Even my cousin buy one for each her family member when she travel to japan
That's great to hear! Glad you found a shoe that works for you. 😄
-Hannah
Which best for sole leg pain also waterproof and more 12 hrs standing kitchen working job?
Do they last a long time ?? Or , the sole wears out quickly. Thanks.
Good review. Thank you.
You got it SaffyFoo! 👍
- Rebecca
Would you suggest this for a lot of walking? like alot?
This the review I am looking for. Thanks for putting a nice review. I am planning to travel to Japan using this shoe. Can I use it for semi formal attire? Thanks!
Great to hear Dexter! Not sure if they would go great with a suit but they definitely are minimal which helps! 👍
Dexter, I'm curious, did you end up using these while you were in Japan? I'm going to Japan in June and am currently looking for a comfortable shoe to wear. How did these work for you?
Hi i wearing this shoes about 4 month and is really2 comfort. And for ur information i have a heel spur which mean extra bone and its very hurt. So afer wearing this shoes there is no more hurt anymore!
That's awesome Nita!
- Nathan
I have owned Skechers in the past and I can agree that they are one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned, I wore the hell out of them. Great for a lazy day. But in terms of looks and versatility.. Honestly it's a miss for me. But great video as usual. :)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Xyles! Are there any shoes you prefer to travel with? We'd love to hear!
Wow, I did not expect a response. I personally like having a pair of Timberland shoes, not the boots of course. I personally find their shoes with the OrthoLite® feature particularly comfortable to walk for long hours. Some of the designs can definitely be passed off as smart casual and casual. But I personally like to bring a pair of lightweight slippers such as Havaianas around which fulfils my needs for 'very casual' kind of look.
But I do admit that Skechers have come a long way since its initial design. I own a pair of GoWalk2 in the past and it's really hard to match with my clothings. I'll probably give them another try in the future.
Awesome! We'll check out what Timberland offers 👌
returning my go walks they slip off my heel , I can t size down because my toes are to the end of the shoe so it slips on and off even with socks, i even tried insoles.
Do they have shoes for high arched feet? I am a supinator.
Hey Daisy! We're really focused on travel shoes right now - we haven't dove into shoes specifically for high arched feet. Although, these do have some great support!
How do I contact customer services? Nothing on your website works.
hey so I bought a pair of these and I've been wearing them and they make my feet super hot and my feet are normally cold if anything. Anyone else have this experience with these shoes?
Hey Clara - we haven't experienced this, but in warmer climates, we do prefer to wear these with invisible socks like the Darn Tough No Show Invisible Socks here packhacker.com/travel-gear/darn-tough/solid-top-down-no-show-invisible-light/ - plus, because they are made from Merino wool, they are temperature regulating and breathable too. Hope this helps! 😊
- Rebecca
With me hapeneed the same! Sorry, I'm Brazilian and I don't know if I wrote correct!
Is it mandatory to wear no show socks with them ? Any experience without socks ?
I have plantar fasciitis and watching this review so I will buy for tomorrow... It's really hurt so bad.
Sorry to hear that la ja - let us know how you get on with them. 👍😊
- Rebecca
la ja No real arch support in the Skechers. Check out KURU shoes. EXCELLENT for plantar fasciitis. Like, REALLY life changing (if you understand the agony of PF). KURU tech is unique. For slightly less $$$, Merrell make walking bearable. They have outlet stores with some great bargains. If you must wear work boots, KEEN are SO lightweight. HTH
Hey, just wondering what is the small hole at the back of shoes for?
Hey Khadijah,
It's so you can pull the shoes on easily, nothing major, but does make it a little easier.
- Rebecca
Great PRODUCT 100%
🎉🎉🎉
hi :)
THE size is correct? if you are 6 should you take 6 or 7?
Hey LIBRA SINGER - we've been told that these shoes can come up bigger, in our experience we went down half a size, but your mileage may vary. Hope this helps, let us know if you have any more questions! 😊
- Rebecca
@@PackHacker indeed. 39,5 is way too big... I should had listen :)
thank you !
The most comfortable sneakers in the world!!! Gotta get back to casual (no laces) Skechers Dynamight Original Men's Shoes!!!
are the insoles removable? I need to use a medical orthotic insole.
Great question JW Chen - the insole is not removable on the Skechers GOwalk 4. Thanks for reaching out! 😊👍
- Rebecca
I'm going to Japan in June (rainy season) and these certainly look comfortable enough for all of the walking I'll be doing, but what about the rain? The video says that they repel water, but I'm concerned, depending on how much it rains, if my feet will be wet.
Hey! We found the Skechers GOwalk 4's more water-resistant than the GOwalk 3's, and while we found that they did repel water in light showers, they're not going to hold up as well in heavy rainfall. Hope this helps! 😊
- Rebecca
@@PackHacker Thank you!
Donde se pueden conseguir??
Hi, is this slippery on rainy days?
Hey Hana,
We didn't notice them slipping at all on rainy days while we were out with them, all good for a bit of rainy weather!
- Rebecca
Pack Hacker Thank you Rebecca! 😊
These are $160 in Australia !!
I need to try these shoes but I'm not sure about what I'm buying It's so many to choose from.. I'm a machine operator.. standing on this machine for 10 hours has my heels hurting so bad..but i think I'm definitely gonna go tomorrow and get a pair i pray I get the right one
Hi Devora! You can find these specific shoes here: packha.kr/tihr
Hope that helps!
-Hannah
Have you tried to GOwalk 5 yet?
Hey Brittney - we haven't got our hands on the Skechers GOwalk 5 shoes yet. 😊
- Rebecca
@@PackHacker If you do I would love to hear an updated review this was exceptionally thorough and I find it difficult to get many reviews online for the GOwalk range of this calibre!
We hear you, we'll keep you updated over our social channels if we pick them up! 👍
- Rebecca
Go Walks are comfortable but they are not breathable and they get very sweaty (at least the canvas looking pair I own).
Thanks for dropping your comment here pattgsm!
- Tom
Better than Hush Puppies. What about guarantee card?
I have put my relatively new GOwalk 3 in the washing machine and it destroyed my shoes.. be careful!
Hey Jessica - sorry to hear that! Although we had a good experience with washing the GOwalk 3's on a cool, gentle cycle, Skechers say to use a damp cloth which worked well on our GOwalk 4's.
- Rebecca
i use skechers bcoz camila cabello
What unsavory stigma are you talking about?? Where I'm from they have always been a younger brand of shoe that is made for fashion and function. EVERYONE had a paor of Sketches growing up and most popular kids had more.
Awesome to hear Lynn! We've definitely been happy with ours! 👍 Do you prefer any specific style of Skechers?
I haven't had any in years, but I've been wanting a pair of Go Walks for a while now. They remind me of a sleeker version of my pair from college!
Let us know if you get a pair, and how you like them! 😄
Thank goodness. If you were a male you'd be roasted out of the country. I thought Tom would actually recommend skechers
😳
those are actually pretty hideous-- and sketchers has less-than-great ethics
Hey Andrew! Tom here. I remember your comment on the Wool Buff video regarding you and your wife's (free) buffs and considering an upgrade. Wondering if there's a shoe model/brand your wife prefers to travel with? We're always looking for more products to review!
Pack Hacker. Hey Tom! Sorry if my comment came off as rude but I think sketchers is one of those brands that screams "tourist", at least here in Germany. I would recommend a few alternatives: Teva Originals, Adidas ultraboost X, Nike lunar run series, Vans classics, timberland 6" boot, fiveten access knit, all come in women's and men's and would be more everyday shoes capable of lots of walking and less technical hikes depending on the weather of the locale.
Thanks for the recommendations Andrew! 👍
Skechers aren't playing their cards right, ugly colours and all.
Any shoes you prefer, gnostie?
