This Skechers GO WALK Arch Fit 2.0 review covers a popular slip-in walking shoe. Retailers list it around $95 to $100, with Hands Free Slip-ins, a heel pillow, a removable Arch Fit insole and lightweight ULTRA GO cushioning. It's machine washable and aimed at people who walk or stand a lot. We found no weight, drop or independent lab data, so we can only judge it on paper. Best for: walkers who want an easy slip-on shoe with arch support at a modest price.

Fit and sizing
Road Runner Sports lists the men's Simplicity 2 style with 4E width and the women's Kathy style in B, so widths vary by style. Slip-ins use a built-in heel pillow so you can step in without using your hands. Use our walking shoe finder to compare widths.
Cushioning and ride
The pages describe lightweight ULTRA GO cushioning and a flexible traction outsole with an Arch Fit insole. We could not find weight, drop or stack, and RunRepeat has no page for it, so we can't say how it compares in firmness.
How it performs for everyday walking
On paper this is a casual, easy-on walking shoe for errands, travel and standing, with a removable insole you can swap. Skechers describes the insole as podiatrist-designed. Shoes may help comfort, but for persistent foot pain, see a podiatrist. See our walking shoes list.
Price and value
At around $95 to $100, it's cheaper than most athletic walking shoes here. Skechers' VIP program may change pricing.
Alternatives
The Brooks Addiction Walker 2 is firmer and more supportive. The HOKA Transport 2 is more premium. The New Balance 877v1 is the plain, wide-friendly option.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you want published weight and drop, lab-tested durability or a running-style performance shoe.

The verdict
An easy, affordable slip-in walker with a swappable arch insole. It's popular, but we have less independent data, so try before relying on it. Skip it if you want lab-tested specs or a performance running shoe. Ratings here are editorial estimates, not our own testing.
