Skechers GOwalk 5 - Prized review

Who should buy the Skechers GOwalk 5-Prized 

Fans of the original GOwalk 5 will surely love this iteration as it uses the same cushioning technologies. It employs a responsive midsole and reactive bottom to ensure that walking on uneven surfaces becomes a pleasurable experience. The Skechers GOwalk 5-Prized might benefit you if:

• A shoe that could keep your feet cool and fresh through its sufficient airflow is what you need. 
• You are looking for footwear that accommodates custom orthotics and compression socks for your foot condition. 

Updates to the Skechers GOwalk 5-Prized 

• The GOwalk 5 - Prized features a different upper material from the original version. And instead of a Quick-Fit portal, it has a pull tab attached to the back for easy on-off action.

Shock-absorbent sole unit

Like the other models in the GOwalk 5 line, this walking trainer also features the ULTRA GO midsole. It is lightweight and pliable, making the heel-to-toe transition go smoothly. The responsiveness of the layer aids in absorbing the shock from impact and using it as energy to make the next step.

Its dual-density nature allows it to deliver both flexibility and support. It is flexible at the forefoot, while the heel section remains sturdy to support a person’s weight.

Tough bottom for rough surfaces

The midsole also serves as the outsole of the GOwalk 5 - Prized. The foam is very durable and won’t quickly deteriorate even when used on rough surfaces like pavements.

The trainer also features the COMFORT PILLAR TECHNOLOGY under the heel and forefoot sections. They are high-rebound elements that make walking on uneven surfaces an easy task.

Anti-slippage interior

For added comfort, there’s a layer of Air Cooled Goga Mat inside. It provides full underfoot coverage to prevent in-shoe slippage. It also has vents that promote air circulation to keep the foot fresh.

Breathable upper

A flat knit mesh makes up the top of the Skechers GOwalk 5 - Prized. This fabric is soft, permitting the foot to expand and move naturally. The soft interior lining also prevents irritations. The material promotes aeration of the foot chamber.

The Skechers GOwalk 5-Prized's rearfoot

This trainer is easy to put on or remove because of its slip-on style. There’s a fabric tab at the back of the collar, which can be used to quickly pull on the shoe. Though it doesn’t have any laces, the collar is lined with foam, allowing it to hug the heel, preventing it from sliding out while walking.

Embroidery for style

The solid color of the top gets a break with the embroidery detail on the heel panel and the lateral side of the midfoot. The contrasting color of this detail and the rest of the top makes for an interesting style.
