Skechers Women's On-The-Go 600 Glistening Sandals - Black (6 UK)

What it is and who it’s for

The Skechers On-The-Go 600 Glistening sandals are a lightweight, casual option designed for everyday wear in warm weather. With a sporty sandal design and criss-cross straps, they aim to provide easy versatility for days out, pottering about town or light activity. The 6 UK size is suitable for many standard ladies’ foot widths, though comfort will depend on individual fit and foot shape.

How it feels in use

On the go cushioning is built around Skechers’ 5Gen system, described as lightweight and responsive. The moulded footbed features Goga Mat technology, which is intended to give a more comfortable underfoot feel with each step. An elastic gore cross band helps secure the fit without needing complicated fastenings, which can be convenient when you’re slipping them on and off. The sandals are machine washable, which can be a practical advantage for busy lifestyles and faintly muddy days out.

What stands out and where it may fall short

The combination of lightweight cushioning and a moulded footbed means these sandals lean toward comfort for errands, travel days and casual outings rather than high-performance walking. The criss-cross strap design looks modern and beach-friendly, yet the fit is contingent on foot shape, if you need tighter heel support or a broader forefoot, you might find them less secure. They are well suited to warm-weather wear and quick trips, but not the best choice for rugged terrain or extended hikes.

Pros and cons at a glance

• Pros: lightweight feel, responsive cushioning, moulded footbed with Goga Mat, secure elastic cross band, convenient machine washable care.
• Cons: fit may vary by foot shape, not a heavy-duty walking sandal, design prioritises casual comfort over technical support.

Who it’s for

Ideal for those seeking a low-friction, everyday sandal for city strolls, casual shopping trips and light outdoor activities where easy on/off and washable fabrics matter. If you prioritise a sporty look with a simple slip-on design, this model fits well.

Who it isn’t for

Not the best option if you need substantial arch support, a rigid heel cup, or aggressive tread for rough terrain. If you plan long-distance hiking or demanding outdoor use, you may prefer a more specialised sandal or shoe.

When it makes sense to buy

If you want a laid-back sandal that balances comfort with a clean, modern look and easy maintenance, these are sensible for seasonal wear and casual days out. They’re particularly pragmatic for busy routines where washing between uses is a real benefit.

What to check before buying

Confirm your usual sandal size in UK measurements, and consider whether you require additional foot support beyond the Goga Mat moulded footbed. Check that the cross-band fit feels secure without pinching, and note that the sandal design is open-toe and open-heel, which may not suit all weather or activities.

Practical example of use

Imagine a Saturday market morning: you step in, slip them on, and you’re comfortable while browsing stalls, then wander to a cafe with friends. They’re quick to wash after a muddy dog walk in the afternoon and ready for another relaxed outing the next day.
