Skechers is a brand that is renowned for producing comfortable shoes and as the name suggests, the Go Golf Elite 5 Slip In is designed to give women virtually hands-free access and a precise fit. Did they stand up to the test as being one of the best women’s spikeless shoes on the market?
I must confess to being more of a lace up sort of person, so I was curious when I first saw these shoes, which have a twist fit dial closure on the side. I’m sure many women will appreciate this ease of use to allow the most comfortable fit. I don’t have problem feet, so in particular, Skechers’ Arch Fit podiatrist-certified support, was of no benefit to me.

I played two rounds wearing these shoes, and given the esteemed reputation of Skechers, the material was not quite as soft as I expected. Perhaps my expectations were too high!
What I did like was the color, can’t get away from black and white Skechers. These also have a splash of hot pink, which is a favorite color combination of mine, and two other color options are available in this model. The way the outer looks didn’t appeal to me because the material looks slightly more plastic than other Skechers I have seen, and I may have left the slip-ins sewed on sticker off the side.

If you need a lot of foot support, find it hard to bend and don’t want to or can’t flex your foot through the swing then these shoes are probably perfect. They are extremely sturdy and the can be wiped of mud without staining.
The spikeless outsole did allow me to feel planted to the ground, so the grip was notably good. Skechers are on the wider side and I imagine that I am describing someone’s perfect shoe! But for me, I actually found it restrictive in my play.
If I take my personal needs out of it, this is a solid shoe that comes with a one-year waterproof protection warranty and will make the long walk more comfortable whilst being easy to slip on and off.
