Skechers Summits vs Skechers GO WALK 8

Both are Skechers slip-ons with Hands Free Slip-ins and a Heel Pillow, so the choice comes down to use. The GO WALK 8 is the better walking shoe: ULTRA GO foam, an Air-Cooled Goga Mat insole, Ultra Pillars and a machine-washable stretch knit upper built for daily exercise. The Summits is a lighter, cheaper-feeling everyday sneaker with a mesh upper and memory foam, and owners report it wears out fast, with the heel lining breaking through on some pairs. Buy the GO WALK 8 for walking and standing; buy the Summits only for casual errands where a low profile matters.

• Choose the Skechers Summits if you want a simple, lightweight slip-on sneaker for errands and travel and you prefer a laced or slip-on option in normal or wide widths.
• Choose the Skechers GO WALK 8 if you walk for exercise or stand for long stretches and want cushioned, washable, hands-free shoes.
