Travelers Can Walk Over 20,000 Steps Pain-free in These Slip-on Sneakers—and They're Up to 56% Off Right Now

Don't knock slip-on sneakers until you've tried them. They might get a bad rap for being 'granny shoes,' but boy are they undeniably comfortable (and ridiculously convenient for travel). You just have to find a pair that won't give off too much of an orthopedic vibe, like these Skechers Go Walk Flex-Relish Slip-ins that could easily pass for a much cooler pair of canvas sneakers.
Performance-wise, they're sitting at the top of the hands-free sneaker category with almost 7,000 five-star Amazon ratings, many of which are accompanied by glowing reviews suggesting they're a solid choice for 20,000-step-count days, 50-mile hikes, and more. You'll want to jump all over this Amazon Prime Day deal when you hear about the great distances people have walked in them, especially now that they're as low as $39.
These slip-on shoes are from the brand's famous Go Walk collection, which many would argue is one of the most comfortable sneaker collections on the planet. This style puts a little spring in your step with bouncy, lightweight cushioning and molds to your unique foot shape thanks to Skechers' trademarked Air-Cooled Memory Foam. Your feet are sandwiched between pillowy soles and a breathable mesh upper that keeps the air flowing to prevent sweating and blisters.
The best part? You don't even have to bend over to put them on. If you're wondering how fast you can slip them on and off in the TSA line, listen to this: 'I live on 23 acres, and sometimes, because my German shepherd likes to jump the fence, I can get these shoes on fast and I can do so without even touching them.' Another wrote that they 'truly just jump on your foot' without the slightest effort.
Travelers buy them specifically for airport security. Others have worn them on adventures far more extreme, such as a 50-mile walk in Italy and logging 20,000 steps a day, including on hiking trails, all over Japan. One person tested them on a 6-mile walking tour of Boston without breaking them in first, and their feet felt great: "no blisters!" Shoppers say they're beneficial for traveling in parts of Asia where it's customary to remove your shoes at the door, as well as for exploring national parks and running to catch trains in your destination.
Among the thousands of reviewers are nurses, teachers, and everyday people who struggle with foot problems from spurs to plantar fasciitis—all singing the praises of these Go Walk Flex-Relish Slip-ins.
The laceless kicks are normally $75 on Amazon, but they're on sale for up to 56 percent off for Prime Day, now through Friday, July 11. Hurry to snag these 'best ever' travel sneakers for as little as $39, or shop more slip-ons on sale for Amazon Prime Day below.
At the time of publishing, the price started at $39.

No more Boston to Hawaii nonstop flights? Hawaiian Airlines suspending service on "underperforming" route.

Looking for flights from Boston to Hawaii? They'll be harder to find soon, as Hawaiian Airlines announced it will be suspending nonstop service between Honolulu and Logan Airport this fall. Hawaiian said Honolulu to Boston is one of three "underperforming" routes that it is suspending. It is also cutting service from Honolulu to Incheon, South Korea and Fukuoka, Japan. Hawaiian currently operates four weekly flights between Boston and Honolulu. The 5,000-mile journey takes about 11 to 12 hours on average. The last flight from Boston to Honolulu will be on Nov. 19. After that, Hawaiian says Boston travelers can connect to Honolulu via its partner Alaska Airlines in Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego and Portland, Oregon. Hawaiian CEO Joe Sprague said it was a "difficult decision" to suspend the routes. "Despite our team's best efforts, soft post-pandemic travel demand from Asia combined with various market challenges have persisted in Seoul, as well as in Fukuoka and Boston," Sprague said in a statement. Hawaiian has been flying the route between Boston and Honolulu since 2019. At the time, it was the longest regularly scheduled domestic route in U.S. history. "It is unfortunate that Hawaiian has decided to move their aircraft elsewhere. It's our understanding they are focusing more on international destinations," a spokesperson for Massport, which operates Logan Airport, said in a statement. "Our customers will still have a variety of options for traveling to special destinations like Hawaii. Boston Logan served a record breaking 43.5M passengers last year on a combined 130+ domestic and international destinations and we are currently experiencing another strong year." Delta started offering nonstop flights from Boston to Honolulu in the fall of 2024, but that service has since been discontinued.

Amtrak's New High-speed Acela Trains Launch This Month—What Travelers Should Know

The countdown is on for a major railroad revival. On Aug. 28, Amtrak will launch its brand-new NextGen Acela trains, debuting the company's newest generation of high-speed cars. The rail company will roll out 28 larger trains through 2027, each offering upgraded amenities and increased capacity. 'In just a few weeks, history will be made with the debut of NextGen Acela as we launch a new standard for American train travel,' Amtrak's President Roger Harris said in a statement shared with Travel + Leisure. 'NextGen Acela is more than a new train—it's an evolution of travel.' The trains will feature maximum speeds of 160 mph and utilize a new 'tilt system' which provides a "smoother, quieter ride," according to Amtrak. Currently, Acela trains run with a maximum speed of up to 150 mph. On board, travelers will be able to enjoy free Wi-Fi with 5G speeds as well as upgraded interiors, including seats with new power outlets and USB ports. As for the seats themselves, travelers can expect an ergonomic design and winged privacy headrests and individual reading lights. The company will initially debut five new trains with more planned after that. Amtrak's Acela service travels between Boston and Washington, D.C. with stops in popular Northeast cities like New York City, Philadelphia, and Baltimore along the way. Before the new trains even hit the tracks, Amtrak's first-class cabin has already undergone several updates. Last month, Amtrak updated its Acela first-class menu with dishes designed by James Beard award-winning restaurateur Stephen Starr. The menu takes inspiration from regional dishes across the Northeast, like charred bobo chicken and crab enchiladas with coconut, poblano peppers, and corn. Travelers who are in business class will be able to enjoy new cart service on the upgraded trains. During last month's menu launch, Amtrak told T+L the 'elevated touches will add to the experience on board and improve expectations for what to expect on Amtrak and Acela First Class." This isn't the end of Amtrak's expansion plans. The company also expects to introduce new Airo trains next year, which will feature modern, spacious interiors, including extra legroom, bigger tray tables, moveable headrests, and more. Even the cafe cars will get an upgrade complete with self-service options. These new trains will be rolled out across several lines, including on the Cascades line, which operates along a scenic route in the Pacific Northwest with stops in cities like Seattle and Vancouver.
