Skechers describes Memory Foam as contouring cushioning and Air-Cooled Goga Mat as responsive, high-rebound cushioning. Start with the feel you prefer, then compare the whole shoe: its midsole, upper, fastening and fit all matter. Neither insole name alone makes a pair the best choice for everyone.
Two insole names, different emphasis
Air-Cooled Memory Foam is the contouring insole used in the Ultra Flex 4.0 150801-MVE and men’s D’Lux Vapor Gallor 233062-BLOR shown here. Air-Cooled Goga Mat is the responsive insole found in GO WALK Now Nikkie 125640-MVE and Max Cushioning Elite 2.0 Alaura 129625-BLAQ.
These are manufacturer technology descriptions, not a measured softness ranking between every shoe. Two models with the same insole can still feel different.
The midsole is a separate part of the shoe
The insole sits directly beneath your foot; the midsole is the cushioning structure below it. Names such as ULTRA LIGHT, ULTRA GO and Vapor Foam describe other parts of the cushioning package, so they should not be treated as alternative names for Goga Mat or Memory Foam.
For example, Nikkie pairs its Goga Mat insole with ULTRA LIGHT and Soft Stride cushioning. Gallor combines Air-Cooled Memory Foam with Vapor Foam. Compare those complete combinations alongside the shape and closure of the shoe.
Choose by the whole design
If you want a stretch-knit hands-free style, start with Ultra Flex 4.0. If you prefer a conventional lace-up with Memory Foam, compare Gallor. For Goga Mat options, Nikkie is a walking style and Alaura is part of the Max Cushioning range.
Use the exact product details and available UK sizes to narrow the choice. If your existing Skechers fit well, the full model code is a more useful reference than the insole name alone.

Questions shoppers ask
Is Goga Mat the same as Memory Foam?
No. Skechers identifies them separately: Goga Mat emphasises responsive rebound, while Memory Foam emphasises contouring comfort.
Is ULTRA GO another name for Goga Mat?
No. ULTRA GO is midsole cushioning; Goga Mat is an insole technology. Some shoes use both.
Are all Memory Foam Skechers Slip-ins?
No. The cushioning name does not establish the entry design. Check for Hands Free Slip-ins in the exact model’s features.
