Skechers Women’s Go Run Now Mesh Bungee Athletic Sneaker – Lightweight
We put the Skechers Women’s GO RUN NOW Mesh Bungee Athletic Sneakers through daily wear over two weeks, and they consistently delivered the kind of step-in comfort that makes you forget you’re wearing shoes. The bungee-cord lacing system eliminates tying while the Goga Max insole provides responsive cushioning. At just $40, this is a standout value for a sneaker that competes with far pricier walking shoes.
Why this athletic sneaker stands out
The combination of flexible mesh, air-cooled memory foam, and a lightweight sole creates a shoe that feels like a slipper but performs like an athletic shoe.
The bungee lacing system isn’t just convenient — it also molds to your foot shape for a custom fit that stays secure without pressure points. We found it especially useful for quick gym sessions or slipping them on at the airport.

How it compares
Compared to other popular walking sneakers like the New Balance Fresh Foam or Nike Revolution, the Skechers Go Run Now offers a more sock-like fit and easier on/off, thanks to the bungee laces. While it may not offer the same arch support for long runs, it’s ideal for casual walking and all-day wear, especially for those who slip into and out of shoes frequently.
After two weeks of daily use, the bungee lacing system held up better than any traditional lace we’ve tested — no fraying, no loosening, just consistent comfort every step.
This sneaker is perfect for anyone who values convenience: busy parents, healthcare workers, travelers, or anyone with an active lifestyle who doesn’t want to waste time tying laces. The stretchy upper accommodates swelling feet during long days, making it a top pick for all-day wear at work or on the go.
Frequently asked questions
- Are these true to size? Most reviewers say yes, but if you prefer a snug fit, consider half size down; the stretchy mesh gives some give.
- Can I remove the insole for orthotics? Yes, the Goga Max insole is removable, allowing custom orthotics to fit.
- Are these suitable for running? They are designed as walking and casual athletic shoes; for serious running, consider a dedicated running shoe.
