Skechers Women's Go Golf Elite 6 Slip-ins Golf Shoe Review

Whether you’re walking, running, or playing golf, Skechers has always prioritised comfort and it’s clear this focus has played a big part in the brand’s rising popularity. No matter the season, the women’s range has a strong selection to choose from and I was keen to find out if the Go Golf Elite 6 Slip-ins rank among the best women’s golf shoes.

I’ve heard so much about the Slip-ins, for which the brand has become known for and forms part of their marketing strategy, and although I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, the hands-free design feature genuinely surprised me. Being able to slide your foot straight in without bending down is a small luxury, but then you do need to bend down to tie up the laces!

Once on, they feel secure thanks to the Heel Pillow, which gently hugs your foot and keeps it in place. If you have problem feet, you’ll appreciate the removable Arch Fit insole that provides soft podiatrist-approved support by molding to your foot to reduce shock and increase weight dispersion.

I also found the cushioning impressively lightweight, similar to Ecco's Biom H5 Textile and FootJoy's Quantum golf shoe. It almost feels like you’re wearing a high-performance trainer rather than a traditional golf shoe. All in all, this shoe excels in comfort. That said, it’s worth noting that the overall fit is slightly on the narrow side, though it worked fine for me.

Style-wise, they’ve got a sporty, functional look, more performance than fashion, and that might not appeal to everyone. Made with synthetic materials, this shoe has a very smooth appearance, despite it having a very subtle pattern that you wouldn’t notice unless you're close up. If you're already a fan of Skechers and prefer a more traditional look, you might want to consider the Go Golf Jasmine 2 model.

I like the periwinkle color, it’s unusual, somewhere in between lilac and purple with a complementing purple/blue sole. I also like the fact that branding is very subtle. It’s also worth mentioning that these shoes are waterproof and made with recycled materials, which is a nice bonus if you’re trying to make more sustainable choices with your golf gear.

If I’m being picky, the design does lean a little too far into the athletic trainer aesthetic for my taste. I tend to prefer a slightly more lifestyle-inspired shoe, something that transitions more easily off the course.

As for performance, the low profile outsole features GRIPFLEX technology, which is a combination of multi-directional cleats and lugs to ensure traction and stability. I did have good contact with the ground, but at the same time there was enough flexibility to feel well balanced over my shots.

The Go Golf Elite 6 Slip-ins tick a lot of boxes. They’re easy to wear, easy to clean and one of the most comfortable golf shoes for women for those long days on the course.
