I don't have the 4's, but I do love my Go Walks.  The problem with Sketchers Go Walks is the inconsistencies in sizing.  I take an 8 in some Go Walks and and 8.5 in others.  It's very annoying to order off of a website due to the sizing issues.

I have the 3's and tried the 4's on instore.  I didn't buy the 4's only because I didn't love the colors and I didn't need a new pair.  They felt just as great as the 3's I have.  When they have more colors, I will probably buy a pair.

 

I do agree about skecher's sizing not being consistent.  Both of my daughters love skechers shoes and always have to try on multiple sizes when trying a new shoe.  (One is still girls sizes, one is in womens.)  The sizing between the go walks seem pretty consistent, although I have noticed that the different fabics/colors feel different.  I have a pair of 3's that I love but have tried other colors on instore that didn't feel as good.

I was in a sporting goods store yesterday, looking to buy shoes to wear for the fitness walks with DH in the evenings. I've never had shoes with memory foam so I asked the salesgirl how these would hold up and she said that the memory foam eventually compresses and becomes hard. I also noticed that the foot bed was all one even layer of memory foam with no distinct arch support. I passed, in favor of a Nike running shoe which felt great in the store but ended up rubbing in the heel after a couple of miles. Frustrating. 😕

Skechers had a showstopper in Canada on The Shopping Channel yesterday but it was a bungee style slip on. I won't buy Skechers without trying them on as I find a lot of them are too loose in the heel and the sizing can be inconsistent. Even those woven shoes the fit can be offf because the top half of the shoe fits differently from the left and right shoe. The sales pitch was about easy pays and the showstopper being 30 % off retail pricing. Big deal...every other shoe was full retail. Not going to happen that people even pay full retail in a bricks and mortar store. A casual look in a local mall easily showed Skechers are on back to school sales everywhere!

There is just no consistency at all !   Ordered hen new go walk 4's and they are at least one size too large , and much wider then any others I have ,  going back plus I don't feel I should sve to pay for the return shipping as they are not the size marked as far as I am concerned .
