The ifrothgolf review
The Skechers GO GOLF Elite 6 is a spikeless slip-in golf shoe built around all-day comfort, aimed at the golfer who wants a cushioned, easy-on shoe at a sensible price rather than a stiff, athletic performance shoe.
What's great
Comfort is the headline and it's the real deal. The Arch Fit insole and heel pillow mean I can walk 36 holes with zero break-in and no hot spots, and the lightweight padding genuinely rivals shoes costing a lot more (independent testers literally rated it the most comfortable golf shoe of 2025). The GRIPFLEX sole grips well on uneven lies and out of bunkers, the slip-in entry actually works, and there's a 12 month waterproof guarantee. Easy to wear, easy to clean, fine for any season.
Worth knowing
It's soft, so torsional rigidity is the weak point. If you're a quick, aggressive swinger who wants a planted, locked-down feel, you'll notice the lack of structure. The looks lean hard into chunky trainer territory and the big "S" and text branding aren't subtle (the white versions look classier than the charcoal). The "slip-in" is a bit of a con too, since you still bend down to tie the laces. Fit runs slightly narrow, colour choice is thin, and they're not the most breathable.
The verdict
If you walk a lot and want comfort over a firm, sporty platform, I rate these as cracking value. Fast, aggressive swingers who want a stable base, or anyone after a sleek classic look, should look elsewhere.
What reviewers say
Reviewers and owners rave about all-day walking comfort and value, while noting it leans casual and gives up some firm-ground stability to performance-focused rivals.
