Skechers WMNS DLites High-Top Daddy Shoes Black 66666233-BLK | Our verdict

With a reputation built around comfort, the famous Skechers GOwalk series continues to amaze us in its 6th iteration. With its stretchy slip-on upper and featherlight construction, the shoe feels more like a sock. It is practically non-existent on the foot and yet keeps us comfortable all day long. We fell in love with this base model from the first step and now look forward to the dozens of its colourful editions to come.

Skechers GOwalk 6 review

Who should NOT buy

People looking for arch support should stay away from the GOwalk 6. This extra soft and flexible shoe is the absolute opposite of structured support. We highly recommend Жіночі кросівки skechers 39 instead.

The shoe's knit upper also lacks in the breathability department. If you need a well-ventilated summer shoe, have a look at the Allbirds Tree Runners instead.

Cushioning

Heel stack

Believe it or not, but the GOwalk 6 has more cushioning than the average walking shoe!

Using a calliper to measure its stack height, we got 35.3 mm in the heel! This is 3.5 mm taller than average! All while truth lighter than the average too. Very impressive.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

The GOwalk 6 has two sources of cushioning, the primary ULTRA GO foam and the slightly firmer Hyper Pillars running through the middle.

The rounded Hyper Pillars also work as stabilisers to keep the gait more steady in this shoe. They are notably firmer than the primary foam. Our durometer shows 33.5 HA which is 36% firmer than the ULTRA GO.

It was really amazing to find out that the ULTRA GO foam of this Skechers shoe doesn't get much firmer in the cold!

Having kept the shoe in our freezer for 20 minutes and repeating the durometer measurement, we got a reading of 29.6 HA. This is a whole 29% softer compared to other "frozen foams!"

Paired with its warm upper, looks like this walking shoe can remain a nice companion going into the colder autumn months.

Insole thickness

The Ortholite insole adds a sweet layer of underfoot padding to complement the main cushioning. We measured its thickness at 5.5 mm which is pretty standard for a walking shoe insole.

The insole is also made breathable to compensate for the lack of aeration in the upper. It helps the heat escape through ventilation chinks in the sole.

At first glance, the GOwalk 6 comes in a pretty narrow profile. But let's not forget that it has a super stretchy upper material. Once you slide your foot inside, the knit adapts to the shape of your foot creating a very snug but cosy sock-like experience.

We also measured the widest part of the toebox at 98 mm which is the same as the average of walking shoes.

Toebox width - big toe

The shoe's toebox is more tapered than usual. Measuring its width at the big-toe point, we found that it is only 73.3 mm wide. Being 4.3 mm narrower than average, it probably makes it a no-go for wide feet.

Luckily, this model is available in extra wide, where you can get plenty of space for a higher-volume foot.

Stability

Lateral stability test

As you can probably tell from our wobbly ankle in the video, the GOwalk 6 is NOT the shoe for fallen arches and overpronation. There is nearly zero support in both the sole and the upper.

This is the type of shoe that's meant to mimic the most natural movement of the foot, so it is most suitable for people with neutral pronation.

Torsional rigidity

The shoe is as flexible as it can possibly get. It is meant to work as an extension of your foot and not interfere in any way.

Twisting the shoe in every direction, we assessed its torsional rigidity as 1 out of 5. Even though 0 would probably be a more accurate rating here.

The heel counter stiffness is pretty minimal too. As a result, the heel hold is not only non-intrusive but is also barely felt on the foot (in a good way).

On a 1-5 scale, we rated the stiffness of this area as 2 out of 5.

Thankfully, the shoe doesn't give up on stability completely. It comes with a pretty wide landing surface to balance out the lack of stability in other areas.

In the widest part of the forefoot, we measured the shoe's platform at 114.5 mm. This is 4 mm wider than walking shoes on average.

Flexibility / Stiffness

The fact that the GOwalk 6 is one of the most flexible shoes on our list won't be a huge surprise by now.

It took as little as 12.9N of force to bend the shoe to a 90-degree angle. This is 64% less than it takes on average! We must admit that this is one of the things that helps this Skechers shoe feel like it's not even there.

Breathability

To our surprise, this Skechers shoe didn't do so well in our breathability test. Having pumped smoke through the shoe's upper, we were underwhelmed by the tiny plume coming out on the other side.

It is also obvious from our transparency test below that the shoe's upper has no substantial ventilation holes for the heat to escape.

Looking at the upper textile up close, it becomes even more clear why this Skechers shoe falls short of breathability.

Durability

Toebox durability

For a soft knit shoe, the GOwalk 6 shows phenomenal durability that is comparable to synthetic uppers!

To test its wear resistance, we applied a Dremel for 4 seconds at a speed of 10K RPM. But the tool never went through the material completely. This earned the shoe's toebox durability a solid 4 out of 5.

Skechers sets a great example of how a soft upper can still be durable at a price of only £90! We've seen more than a few £150 On Cloud shoes completely torn apart by the same Dremel test.

Outsole hardness

Because there is no rubber outsole per se, we measured the hardness of the foam at the bottom, we got 50.1 HC. Expectedly, this is 51% softer than the average. And soft always means more prone to abrasion.

Outsole durability

Of course, our Dremel went through the shoe's exposed foam like a knife cuts through butter.

Using a tread gauge to measure the depth of the damage, we found it to be a whopping 3.1 mm deep! For reference, the average ranges from 1 to 1.5 mm.

For that reason, we don't expect this shoe to last more than one season. If you are okay with renewing your Skechers pair after a few months, that's fine. And if you want to invest in a more durable walking shoe, consider the On Cloud 5.

Misc

Grip / Traction

This Skechers has enough traction for walking around city streets on a sunny day. We haven't tested the shoe in harsh conditions but given the lack of a rubber outsole, we wouldn't risk it.

Tongue padding

The shoe has no tongue as such. But to give you a better understanding of what it feels like inside the GOwalk 6, we measured the thickness of the material at 2 mm. There is also no padding inside the shoe, except for a tiny bit of foam around the heel.
