Title: I’m giving these shoes 5 stars, but with a heads up
Review: Short Review: Go Walk Joy is the top winner of all the shoes/Skechers I’ve destroyed.They are relaxed fit, so it depends on how you want it to fit. If you want a tighter, fitted feeling, go half a size down, the length is still there. But if you order your regular size, you should be fine, even with thick socks. The arch support is “natural” since it’s got a memory foam insole, but if you need more support, I recommend the D’Lites or the Air Cooled Arch-Fit.Long Review: I struggle with buying shoes online, so I ran some experiments over the last couple of years. Keep in mind I do no less than 50,000 steps a week. I’m on my feet up to 10 hours a day for work. So, here are reviews for multiple styles of Skechers.First, I bought the Go Walk Joy Walking Shoe Sneaker (slip on, no laces) in a size 8.5 which is what I normally buy in a sneaker. It’s a relaxed fit shoe so it fit better with socks. They were an absolute miracle shoe. All of my foot pain was gone on day 1, and there was no breaking in period. There is also plenty of side room in both shoes, so if they’re out of the wide, just try it anyway in your regular size. I think you’ll be happy.I wore those out in about 3 months.I googled how to make shoes last longer, and decided to order 2 more pairs and wear them on alternating days, just to see if I could get 6 months out of them that way. I did not. After 4 months, I replaced the insoles altogether, and by the end of the 5th month, the soles themselves had lost all support. I pressed on. I didn’t want to give them up… I ended up injuring my arches because of it. Those shoes were size 8 and size 8.5. The 8 was a perfect fit where the 8.5 was a bit roomy. If you like a lot of toe space, go with the 8.5, but the 8’s should do you fine, even if you normally wear an 8.5 (as all my other store bought shoes are 8.5).While my arches were healing, I ordered this pair of Skechers Go Walk Joy 15601 Shoe in a size 8 (based off my previous go walk experience), with HIGH expectations. In the size department, again, perfect fit. But due to the damage I did to my arch, I couldn’t wear them.I found the Skecher’s D’Lites Play-On Sneaker, here, on Amazon, as well. They are not relaxed fit, so I ordered the 8.5. I have trouble with any type of heel usually, but these were pretty much perfect for protecting my arch. They are a little bit tight on me, as they are not relaxed fit, and I think I would have done well with a size 9.Because of that sizing, I decided I should go to an actual shoe store and try them on in person. The store didn’t carry the D’Lites, but they did have these exact 15601 Shoes, and their size 8 was much smaller than the shoe I was wearing… I would swear it was a 7, but I can’t explain that. They were otherwise identical. They didn’t actually have a larger size for me to compare it to. It confuses me more, but I have to assume one of them is a mis-label, and I don’t think it’s Amazon (again, based on past purchases of other Go Walk varieties)Anyway, slightly off track there. They did not have any D’Lites in stock, but they did have an Air-Cooled Arch Fit shoe. In the moment, they were definitely more comfortable than the Go Walk. I bought the Arch Fit in a size 8.5 at the store.The plan was to alternate every few days with the D’Lites and the Arch Fit, and this worked for a while, but once my arches were healed, the problems I have with “heels” came back, so in a desperate moment, I put the 15601’s back on and went to work, fully believing I’d be in pain by the end of the day. But I wasn’t! They are the awesome shoe I was expecting! I did decide to pick up a $2 pair of cheap foam insoles to add to them, just for extra cushion. I’m going to replace those once a month, placing them on top of the original insoles rather than replacing the original insoles, just to see if it helps extend the life of the shoe. I’m just about due, so I pulled them out and put the shoes on to see if it’s helped. So far it seems like it’s working. I’d love to get more than 3 months out of them, but I think it’s worth the money either way.Go Walk has truly been a Joy. I’ll be buying more of them, as well as other Go Walk variety of shoes. And I HIGHLY recommend the D’Lites and the Arch Fit lines for anyone with arch issues. They were amazing when I needed them. I still wear them, just not to work or anywhere I need to stand for long periods of time. Heck, I still wear the first 3 pairs of Go Walk Joy around the house and when running errands. They look brand new on the outside! And as long as I don’t have them on for more than a few hours, they’re perfectly fine with any cheap replacement insole.All that said, if you’re on a budget, I also still love my SlowMan Air Cushioned Walking Sneaker (women’s slip on, sold here on Amazon). When I initially felt the problems in my arches, I pulled them out of the closet (after nearly 2 years) and the arch support was amazing. They also align with these size comparisons. I bought them in a size 8 and an 8.5. The 8 fit better, the 8.5 allowed for thicker socks. The heel though, again, is too high for me in general, but they really are comfortable otherwise. They are less expensive and a good alternative to the Arch Support varieties of Skechers.If you made it this far, I hope I was helpful! I’m always afraid of buying shoes online, because I HATE returning things.

Title: Love This Shoe!
Review: The wide width and fit of this shoe makes it soooo comfortable. I also wanted a lace up shoe where I can adjust the tightness or looseness. I also find that this type of shoe offers somewhat more support than the other styles. i would love this in a taupe/tan color too, but don’t see it available.

Title: A very nice shoe
Review: Several years ago, I bought some black Skechers and they became my favorite shoe. I wore them all the time and broke my rule of not wearing the same shoe all day long or two days in a row. I wore them out. I tried on some other shoes, but didn’t like the fit, or the color, or the gigantic logo that is all you see. I ordered these and they’re even better than the first pair of Skechers I purchased. Light, roomy, and an all-around good walking shoe.

Title: Comfy but not without issue
Review: I used to give this a 5 star but had to knock it down cuz my second pair here, the right shoe has come undone inside and it’s only been a couple months. My first pair lasted 2 years and the insides look better than this. Now I’m not sure if I should purchase them anymore as I cannot afford sneakers every couple of months. Disappointed.

Title: Very good shoe for diabetic feet
Review: I love these shoes. I only buy this particular shoe ( probably my 10th pair in the last 10 years). I am on my feet up to 12 hours a day. I have pain in my feet constantly and need a shoe that doesn’t add to my issues. This shoe is the only shoe that has never bothered my feet.

Title: Good and Bad
Review: Is comfortable on the inside but has very little base so it hurts if you are walking anywhere that is not paved

Review: I bought these for work. I have been having problems with arthritis in my knee, and as usual, Skechers are so comfy. I didn’t feel I needed to get used to the shoe. They were so comfortable as soon as I put them on. I stand, walk, and push and pull heavy carts for four hours at work each shift, and my feet are so comfortable. I feel they give some support to my knee as well.

Review: Ottime scarpe.Acquistate per il lavoro dopo che un modello simile della stessa marca ha iniziato a rovinarsi. Le uso costantemente per il lavoro e stanno resistendo benissimo. Come sempre leggere, confortevoli e comodissime. Come tutte le skechers che ho provato, calzano giuste ma dopo un po iniziano ad allargarsi, ma comunque nulla di estremamente fastidioso. Le uso gia da un mese e sono come nuove.
