The full review

The Max Cushioning Elite is the best-value plush walking shoe I recommend. The Ultra Go foam midsole rivals shoes twice the price, and the slip-on Air-Cooled Goga Mat insole makes it easy for patients with limited dexterity.

Key features

  • ✓Ultra Go cushioning midsole
  • ✓Air-Cooled Goga Mat insole
  • ✓Stretch knit upper
  • ✓High-traction rubber outsole

What works

  • +Most cushion per dollar in the category
  • +Easy on/off slip-on style available
  • +Lightweight

Worth knowing
