Skechers' Jammers boots are sure to make a statement, offering both style and practicality. They're perfect for the autumn weather and versatile enough for any terrain, rivalling iconic brands like Timberland or Doc Martens, but at a more affordable price.
Known for their comfort, which Skechers is renowned for, and durability that ensures they'll be a wardrobe staple for many seasons, these Jammers boots usually cost a hefty £75. However, they're now available with a pleasing discount, reducing the price to just £59.99 during this Skechers sale.
Featuring a stylish lace-up design, these boots offer all the comfort and versatility you'd expect from Skechers trainers, but with a synthetic leather upper that adds a touch of style. You can find more of our bargain deals and shopping recommendations here.
The Skechers boots are suitable for a variety of settings, whether you need a chunky shoe for the office or something sturdy for dog walks.
With a Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole, these boots ensure your feet stay cool during the warmer months and don't get sweaty throughout the day. The classic heritage lug outsole from Skechers provides a 1 3/4-inch heel, adding a bit of height to your look while also ensuring grip, durability and protection from the elements, wherever your adventures take you.
Should the attractive price reduction not be enough to sway you, these sturdy boots have earned an impressive 4.5 out of 5-star rating, with almost 80% awarding full marks.
One Skechers enthusiast raves: "Perfect shoe. I could walk for days in these shoes. I wear them every day for months and your can't even tell. I wore them for 2 weeks in Japan and hiked a mountain in them and they are still good as new. Super comfy and durable. Sooo comfortable because they are a perfect width, good impact absorption and light weight. On top of that they match with almost everything and are cute."
Another purchaser declares: "Great for winter in Michigan with snow!".
Additional acclaim arrives from this customer who notes: "These shoes were out of the box comfortable! ! The first time I wore them for a full day, I didn't remember that I was wearing new shoes. I love the look too. Zero regrets!".
Meanwhile, a fourth buyer states: "I wear these shoes daily! I am vegan and I have been looking for a cute pair of shoes built to last that don't have the most painful break in period. These are also great in the snow/ice! I haven't fallen. I will definitely buy them again!"

One dissatisfied shopper expressed their frustration, writing: "I have been wearing these very frequently for almost just about a year now, and although I adore the design, the material is not durable, and they are not practical for UK weather or any kind of mud. I had no need to break them in, but the inside has some parts that have been clearly rubbed against, causing holes."
However, the majority of purchasers are full of praise for the footwear, with one buyer commenting: "I love these shoes! They were a little lighter in colour than I wanted, but they still match the clothing I purchased them to wear with. They are super comfortable, and I got compliments on them the very first day I wore them. They are very sturdy and provide great support. I absolutely love them!".

'Comfy from first wear' Skechers get huge 40% price slash at Debenhams

The retailer's massive end of summer sale with up to 70% off is still available. When it comes to comfy footwear, then Skechers are a no brainer. From working all day to physical exercise, they offer support for everyone. For those looking to save money when investing in a pair from the popular brand, then Debenhams has slashed the cost of a few of its select trainers in its massive end of summer sale that is available to shop now. The retailer's mammoth event is currently offering up to a staggering 70 per cent off across every product category right now, with discounts on everything from homeware and gardening to fashion and beauty. Among the select Skechers on offer are the GLIDE-STEP PRO Bungee Slip-Ins in, with the total price being reduced from £89 to £53.40, saving shoppers an impressive 40 per cent off the RRP. While the discount only covers the dark mauve colourway, it is worth noting that, on the Skechers, the full list of nine other colours are still at full-price, so it might be worth not missing Debenhams' deal. With breathable mesh material, stretchy laces, heel grip pillow and a slip-on style design, these trainers are said to provide personalised comfort when worn all day, making them ideal for those 'on-the-go' moments. Skechers GLIDE-STEP PRO Bungee Slip-Ins £89 £53.40 Debenhams Buy here Product Description Key features for comfort include the brand's Glide Step geometric midsole that helps to offer a "pillow-like soft landing and explosive takeoff", meaning avid runners would definitely benefit from a pair. There's also an Air-Cooled Memory Foam whichprovides pressure relief, instant comfort and breathability, with one review suggesting they are "comfortable from the first time" they are worn. As of writing, sizes from three through to eight are still available in the Debenhams website, although, one downside is the lack of half-sizes, which might be a concern for some shoppers. Debenhams isn't the only retailer offering branded trainers for less, as New Balance has an outlet worth checking out, with the similar Unisex 360 Trainers on offer for £70, down from £100, offering a 30 percent saving. Shoppers looking to bag the same Skechers style for less can check out these HKR Slip On Trainers that cost £29.74, as they have thousands of reviews comparing them to the beloved brand. While the Debenhams website doesn't feature any reviews for the Skechers GLIDE-STEP Pro Shoes, the same design has a 4.3 rating on the footwear brand's website, with reviews saying they are "like walking on gel pillows." Fashion deal of the week We might not want to admit it, but summer will soon be coming to an end. That means getting our wardrobe ready for the autumn season, and one affordable jumper from Next is already proving to be quite a hit with fashion fans who say that it has been "beautifully made." The firm is currently offering its Blue Stripe Layered Long Sleeve Collared Gold Detailed Button Jumper with Wool and 100 percent Cotton Shirt for £1.50 in its clearance sale. Described as 'effortlessly stylish', this blue striped number boasts a chic collared shirt underlay and a cosy 'soft touch' knit. The design also includes elegant gold-tone buttons on the shoulder and a neat collar, plus it's easy to care for being machine washable. Available in an array of colours and patterns, it can be bought in regular and petite sizes through X-Small to X-Large, though certain sizes are beginning to sell out. One satisfied customer shared: "I purchased this lovely shirt and jumper combination for a video interview, and I was really pleased with how it looked. "The bright white, soft cotton collar gives it a smart appearance and the jumper is made from a beautifully soft wool." The Blue Stripe Layered Jumper with Wool and Cotton Shirt is available for purchase from Next at a price of £19.50. One glowing review read: "I am totally happy with my new shoes. They are my favorite color. Comfortable from the first time I put them on. Wide enough so they don't hurt my feet." A second shopper added: "My favourite shoe for everything! I love this shoe. I travel a lot for work and this is my go to for travel, trade shows and even business meetings." Someone else praised: "The glide step technology is SO helpful for easing my spinal and leg joint arthritis pain. It's like walking on gel pillows. I love them so much I ordered a second pair to wear indoors (hard wood floors)." There has been some criticism for the inconsistent sizing, as one shopper left a three-star review reading: "I was planning on wearing them for work, but they are far too snug. I really should have bought a size up." Someone more complimentary of the fit said: "This shoe fits like a glove. I need arch support and cushioning, and this fits the bill."

Dr Martens' £100 shoes that 'make walking comfortable' and will 'last years' 10% off in deal

Dr Martens' shoppers have been hailing a pair of shoes that 'make walking comfortable' and add 'more height'. The Blaire Felix Rub Off Vegan Strap Sandals, which are also available in a leather option but limited in availability, are a £100 on Dr Martens' website. But new customers for the retailer can get them 10% off as your first order when you sign up for email and texts, which you can find out more about here. And if you have received your A-Level results today (Thursday, August 14), and are heading to university come September, then you can also get 10% off Dr Martens' items thanks to UNiDays and Student Beans' discount, which you can find out here. With whatever discount applies to you, you could get the Blaire Athena Leather Strap Sandals for £90. The shoes come in three different versions - Black - Felix Rub Off, Black - Athena, Smoked Mint - Athena, all of which are sold at the initial price of £100. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here. The vegan version is available in sizes 3 to 9, but Dr Martens' recommends that buyers go a size down with these sandals. Its description reads: "Blaire is our latest spin on the gladiator: an airy Dr. Martens sandal with a slight wedge for height, a padded collar for comfort, a lightweight ripple sole and — unlike most sandals — a sturdy, durable Goodyear welt." The Blaire Felix Rub Off Vegan Strap Sandals are 100% vegan, and come with an adjustable buckle strap at ankle. There is a slight wedge for an "empowering" boost and an arched footbed. According to Dr Martens, these are built on the new, lightweight PVC Ziggy sole, made with a ripple tread and are durable goodyear welt. The sandals are made with Felix Rub Off, which is a soft, supple synthetic material. These sandals could be worn with pretty much anything you have in your wardrobe - a dress, a skirt, your favourite pair of jeans with a nice tee. And they can suit any occasion, albeit formal or informal. Elsewhere, if you are looking for a sandal with less of a heel and a cheaper price tag, you could get the M&S Collection Leather Buckle Ankle Strap Flat Sandal for £39.50 at Marks and Spencer. Or, for faux leather sandals that have a similar style to the Dr Martens, you could buy the Wide Fit Chunky Buckled Sandals for £38 at Next, which comes in four different colours. The Blaire Felix Rub Off Vegan Strap Sandals have received a rating of four out of five stars and over 500 reviews. "Love them! So comfy and nice to be able to dress up or down. Have wanted them for ages," one customer said. While another happy shopper remarked: "Comfortable, feel light, sole makes walking comfortable and add a little bit more height, slight rubbing as I wore them constantly the first few days but I love them!" And another customer reviewed: "Excellent timeless sandal. They will certainly last years. Comfortable from first wear. Dr martens never fail to deliver." But another shopper had flagged up some issues. They said: "I love them; but they are taking a while to break in! I have found they rub where the straps overlap, so still only breaking in, in the house! As others spoke about, I bought a size smaller than I take, and they are perfect fit." And another had a sizing problem. They penned: "Absolutely loved the look and height great support for my arches. Unfortunately had to send them back due to being a bit to wide for my slim feet... I've ordered another pair." But most customers were happy with their purchase. "These are so great! Go with everything and didn't take long to just be super comfortable. Really flattering also," one said. While another had this to say: "I got these for my graduation as I wanted to be in something comfy, I have the dr martens boots but they are looking worse for wear so thought I'd treat myself to some of these after seeing a lot of my family and friends wearing them. "They are super comfy, I found that they look really good on most outfit even with socks and full black tights. I am really happy with my purchase and would recommend them to people, the price tag is a little high for a sandal, however, if they stand as long as my boots have then they will really pay for themselves".
