Skechers Gomel Slip-on Loafer,9.5 2W

These are an okay fairly light and comfortable shoe, but not as light and cushy as my Go Walk 4s. All of the materials are thicker and stiffer by comparison, slightly heavier overall weight as well. I do like that you can get them in extra wide as I have nerve and pressure sensitivity in my feet, so the looser the fit, the better in my books. These extra wides are also not as wide as my Skechers Go Walk 4s but they're still loose enough that my feet don't feel strangled or overly cramped. The foot openings are a tad smaller, but manageable. Comfort is a-okay with bare feet on the memory foam, you can feel the upper top of the shoe pressure slightly and there is a minimal foot arch, I imagine they'll soften up a bit once they get broken in a little more. The subtle two-tone coloring between grey and black adds just a little style to them as I don't believe they are intended to be as casual looking as the Go Walks. Insoles seem to be glued down fairly firmly but can be pulled out. The two things I don't like about them are the same complaints I have with their Go Walks and other brands of shoes: (1) There's no loop sewn into the heel to grab onto, thus most of the time the heel edge of the shoe folds in as you slide your foot in and you have to jam your finger into the back to lift it straight up and out, or you end up using your finger like a shoe horn. (2) The other major flaw is the pattern used on the bottom of the shoes. The pattern of molded gaps and indentations are just small and large enough to get little sticks, rocks and dirt stuck in them only to dry out and/or be tracked around wherever you go. It's not like they really need tread like an all-season radial tire, just doesn't make much sense. I'd be more satisfied with a pattern that has less deep grooves that hold onto debris and mud. Other than that, a nice shoe for the price, but not as light and comfy or flexible as my Go Walk 4s.
