Enhanced sole unit traction
The midsole of the Skechers GOwalk 4 - Incredible also serves as its outsole. The unit withstands walking on rough surfaces. It also features a tread pattern that enhances traction of the cushioning platform.
At the bottom of the outsole are the Goga Pillars. These button-like structures at the heel and the forefoot deliver adaptive cushioning. They adjust to the surface and pressure and keep the foot protected at all times.
Midsole for all-day comfort
The Skechers GOwalk 4 - Incredible employs the 5GEN midsole. This cushioning unit absorbs shock, is responsive, and ultimately delivers all-day comfort. It tapers at the midfoot section and render support for the arch area.
Amplified footbed cushioning
The trainer also utilizes the Goga Max insole which adapts to the foot, thereby amplifying the cushioning and support of the midsole. It has a bamboo lining with anti-bacterial properties that prevents odor formation.
The Skechers GOwalk 4-Incredible's upper
The Skechers GOwalk 4 - Incredible is equipped with an engineered mesh upper. What sets it apart from other GOwalk 4 models is that the pores of this fabric are more open and deliver better breathability. On top of that, there are air mesh side panels that heighten aeration of the foot chamber.
Its seamless construction provides the foot with a comfortable and supportive foot wrap. It accommodates natural foot expansion throughout the day.
Shield against damage
Synthetic overlays protect the high-wear areas of the upper such as the toe, the heel, and the Quick-Fit Portal. They prevent the fabric from wearing out too quickly.
Snug rearfoot section
The heel overlay also keeps the rear foot steady. The Quick-Fit Portal lets wearers easily pull the shoe on the foot; the overlay on top of it protects it from the constant pulling action.
