Skechers GOwalk 5 - Limelight review

Who should buy the Skechers GOwalk 5-Limelight

Skechers utilized innovative materials and components and integrated them into the GOwalk 5-Limelight to provide comfort and stability to its wearers. You might benefit from it if: 

• A shoe cozy for everyday use yet reliable enough for traversing various surface conditions is what you need. 
• You prefer a walking companion that helps in relieving discomfort associated with plantar fasciitis.
• Daily chores require you to change footwear every once in a while that a shoe easy to put on and off is what you are after. 

Traction and durability

The outsole of the Skechers GOwalk 5 - Limelight is made from dual-density foam. It is softer in the upper section. It accommodates changes in pressure as the weight of the wearer moves from the heel to the toes. Meanwhile, the part of the outsole that hits the ground is more rigid, allowing it to withstand walking on rough and hard surfaces like concrete.

Under the heel and the forefoot is button-like structures. They are adaptive to pressure, which helps keep the foot balanced even when walking on uneven surfaces. They are also responsive, which aids in quick foot movements. 

Midsole responsiveness against impact

The GOwalk 5 - Limelight is equipped with several cushioning technologies. They aim to reduce shock and keep the foot stable during all-day wear.

The Ultra GO is a lightweight foam unit that spans the entire length of the shoe. It attenuates shock, but it is also responsive to impact. This model features a 1 ½ heel elevation. It relieves pressure on the heels when standing for long periods.

Hygienic and cozy footbed

Inside this trainer is the Air Cooled Goga Mat. It is soft for underfoot comfort and breathable to keep the foot fresh no matter how far you walk.

Head-turning aesthetics

The Skechers GOwalk 5 is a slip-on walking trainer for women. What makes it different from other shoes is the use of rhinestones at the top. The gems are not too abundant, but just enough to add sparkle when the light hits them.

The collar is a bit high at the back and features light padding. It prevents chafing and soreness at the rearfoot. A fabric loop is attached to the back of the collar. It allows wearers to quickly pull the shoe up.
