Skechers GOwalk Evolution Ultra - Turbo review

Who should buy the Skechers GOwalk Evolution Ultra-Turbo

The GOwalk Evolution Ultra-Turbo is an edition of the Skechers Evolution Ultra walking shoe created with an innovative cushioning unit or a springy and breathable walking experience. It also employs panels with enough perforations to ensure ample ventilation. You might benefit from it if:

• A shoe that delivers enough comfort for several hours of wear is what you need. 
• You are after a shoe that is not only affordable but offers great quality as well. 

Sturdy sole unit

There is no separate outsole in the GOwalk Evolution Ultra - Turbo since its platform only consists of one foam unit. Nevertheless, the bottom of this unit is made a bit sturdier to handle harsh surfaces like concrete pavements.

It is also constructed with separate pods which add cushioning throughout the walk. Four pods of a contrasting color can be found in the heel and the forefoot sections.

These are the ULTRA PILLARS which have a high-rebound characteristic and contribute to the bouncy ride. The grooves between the pods help in making the platform flexible so that it can bend with the foot.

Responsive cushioning

A full-length ULTRA GO compound delivers cushioning in the Skechers GOwalk Evolution Ultra - Turbo. It is a lightweight yet responsive foam unit which attenuates the impact associated with walking. It also creates reliable padding to ensure a smooth heel-to-toe transition and a springy toe-off.

The Air Cooled Goga Mat is added inside the shoe. Its purpose is to create a pleasant underfoot experience by allowing air inside the interiors and providing additional padding.

Snug ankle area

The GOwalk Evolution Ultra - Turbo is designed as a slip-on shoe. It features an elastic collar which stretches to help the foot slide in easily. It also remains fairly tight, ensuring a snug fit in the ankle area. A fabric pull tab at the heel can be used to assist the on-and-off action.

The Skechers GOwalk Evolution Ultra-Turbo's ventilation

This walking shoe from Skechers employs a woven mesh fabric in the instep and the forefoot sections. It creates a secure foothold while being stretchy enough to give the toes some wiggle room. Its ventilation pores also keep the foot chamber comfortably aerated.

The heel panel is made up of a tightly woven fabric. It helps in keeping this area more close-fitting.

Enhanced midfoot stability 

Synthetic overlays are added on the lateral and medial sides of the shoe to create a midfoot brace. They are interconnected with a lacing system on the instep.

When the laces are tightened, the panels draw together strengthening lateral support. The perforations throughout the overlays also contribute to the breathability of the upper.
