Slip on and with a little wiggling of toes through the straps they fit and support well. Fit true to size." With a fifth shopper writing: "Bought these for a 4 week holiday in Asia.

'Unbeatable' Skechers trainers that 'help reduce pain' get 35% price slash
Ahead of Prime Day, Amazon shoppers won't want to miss this Skechers deal. Anyone who has ever bought a pair of Skechers will know how comfortable they are. For those who are on their feet all day, they are said to provide that bit of extra support. While the footwear firm might come with a hefty price-tag to match its reputation, Amazon has been known to offer some pretty neat discounts on some of the brand's bestselling sandals and trainers. And ahead of this year's Prime Day, which is set to kick off on July 8 for four days, we have spotted these Skechers Women's Ultra Flex 3.0 Brilliant Path Sneakers dropped from £89 to £57.50, offering 35 per cent off the RRP. Hailed in reviews as "the comfiest footwear on the market", these knitted trainers boast a hands-free slip-on style design, making them an easy and convenient option for anyone who struggles to bend down or pull on their shoes. Engineered with Skechers' exclusive heel pillow, feet are kept securely in place, while the air-cooled memory foam insole offers the wearer pressure relief, instant comfort and breathability. With it being summer, not many of us want to wear shoes that will get our feet feeling hot and sweaty. Fortunately, like many of the brand's other options, they have been crafted from a breathable stretch-fit material, meaning they offer "sock-like comfort." An important note for customers is that Amazon's 35 per cent discount covers the black colourway, with sizes two to nine available to shop. There are other colours to choose from, but the discounts are not as high. For the shoppers who maybe want to wait for Prime Day to see if the trainers get an even further discount, an alternative until then would be these Knitted Slip On Trainers from M&S that are a tad cheaper at £39.50. Fashion deal of the week Fashion fans looking for a dress that will standout at all their summer events will need to hear about this one from Roman. The high street chain's Royal Blue Rose Print Button Detail Maxi Dress, hailed as "perfect for the warmer seasons", is now on sale for £35 after being dropped from £48 - saving 27 percent overall. With its "stunning" all-over rose print and modest midaxi length hemline, this particular frock will look perfect at any fancy occasions this season. Since it offers a bold design, we'd advise pairing it with nude-coloured heels and neutral accessories. The flowy, comfortable woven fabric and short sleeves make it an ideal airy choice for when the temperatures rise again. It also features a chic V-neckline, alongside a shirred waistline that will 'cinch' in the figure for a flattering effect. Complete with buttons down the front, the high street firm also advises pairing its £35 sale dress with a denim jacket on those summer days when the weather is a little bit chillier. Beloved for its vibrant and bold style, one five-star review read: "One of the five-star reviews read: "This dress is amazing. I've had so many compliments. "Lovely Silky material, floor length and such vibrant colours and so easy to just wash and wear. Suitable for weddings and occasions or just perfect for holidays and summer days. A real head turner... Love it." Someone else added: "Another pleased purchaser wrote: "Just love this dress, lovely colours, beautiful material, perfect for my upcoming holiday." Debenhams is also another good retailer to check out for any discounts on comfy footwear, as we have spotted these similar Hush Puppies 'Ennis' Slip-On Shoes for just £49.99 after being dropped from £75, saving 33 per cent off the RRP. Meanwhile, eager bargain hunters who want to nab Amazon's deal on the Skechers Flex 3.0 Trainers will be happy to hear that they have earned a 4.6 rating based on thousands of reviews that say they offer "unbeatable" comfort and are "a dream to walk in." One delighted reviewer wrote: "I have very painful feet and these are honestly the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. The slip in is super convenient but the comfort is unbeatable! I've ordered another pair in a different style and hoping they are equally comfortable." A second shopper praising the fit wrote: "I've been having problems with my heel and these helped to reduce the pain. Very easy on and off as advertised, and never had to wear them in." A couple of shoppers have had issues with the sizing, as one said: "I'm a UK 5 and the size UK 5 I ordered were too big by quite a bit so I have had to reorder in a smaller size and hopefully they will be better." It's worth noting that the criticism was quite minimal, as another delighted customer said of their purchase: "Bought these as I have a problem putting my shoes on. Now it's easy. Literally just slip my feet into these trainers. Brilliant. Comfortable, fit is good, lightweight. Good value." One thoroughly impressed customer said: "My first pair of Skechers Slip Ins and wow they do not disappoint! Like walking on clouds! Not big and bulky, very well made and a dream to walk in. Gosh what other colours should I invest in……LOVE THEM." Shoppers can bag a pair of the Skechers Women's Ultra Flex 3.0 Brilliant Path Sneakers for just £57.50 on Amazon now.

Skechers' 'padded' trainers that are still 'comfy' after 12 hours are now £35
These popular Skechers trainers have been reduced to £34.99 on the Amazon website, down from £54 - and shoppers are raving about them A comfy pair of trainers is vital for your spring/summer collection, and if it's a casual set to pair with your summer frocks or a sturdy set of walking shoes you're hunting for, Skechers has got you covered with its renowned comfy range. A certain pair from this beloved range has been discounted to a mere £35, garnering over 59k reviews by thrilled customers on Amazon. Originally selling for £54, the Skechers Women's Graceful Get Connected Sneakers are now £34.99 (prices exact at the time of publication). The product blurb on Amazon details: "Easily transition from the gym to all day comfort wear with the Skeckers trainers. Skech Knit Mesh one piece sporty fabric upper in a lace up athletic training sneaker with stitching and overlay accents. Memory Foam insole." Impressively, these trainers have scored an average of 4.6 out of 5 stars based on customer feedback. A whopping 79% of Amazon buyers have showered the comfy footwear with top-notch five-star accolades. In other fashion news, if Skechers aren't quite your thing, ASOS is offering a steal on New Balance 530 trainers in swanky white and silver – now only £75, plummeting from their original £100 tag. These, too, boast rave reviews, averaging a stellar 4.8 out of 5, with buyers praising them as an "amazing walking shoe". In the reviews, one fan raved: "Brilliant shoes, especially if you have a bad back and suffer from aching joints and legs, they are like wearing slippers. I wore them straight away and they did not rub my feet at all, even after 8 hours of work. They fitted like a glove, up and down stairs became much easier for my ankles, they offered great support and they are easy to clean.", reports the Liverpool Echo. Another reviewer stated: "These are the most comfortable trainers I've ever owned. Not too narrow and super lightweight too. No bedding in needed. I'm usually between a ladies size 7-8 depending on the brand and found the 8 too big but wore them anyway the a while. They are so comfortable I've ordered another pair in a size 7 which fit perfectly. I'll save the size 8 for winter with thick socks. I'd highly recommend this style." A third reviewer gushed: "If there was a possibility to give more than five, I would give 10 stars. Perfect fit, very light (I don't feel them on my feet), the mesh looks amazing. Overall they look AMAZING. Very comfortable. Worth every penny." A fourth enthusiast shared: "I only wish I'd found these sooner. After working 12-14 hour shifts, my feet were always sore and aching. I've tried most shoe brands I could think of, but was recommended to theses Skechers. "The fit is absolutely spot on, the shoes themselves feel like you are walking on clouds, and the memory foam is perfect. Even after a long shift, it still feels like I'm wearing slippers. They are THE most comfortable shoe I have ever owned, and I'm going to order another pair now as I'm simply in love. No more aching or tired feet, thank you Skechers." However, one customer pointed out that the rose gold trim on the trainers "isn't as glossy in person".

Your next pair of shoes should be from Skechers. Here are 12 podiatrist-backed picks to buy
Best skechers shoes quick picks Sandals: Skechers Women's Reggae Tireless Summer Running sneakers: Skechers Women's Max Cushioning Elite 2.0 Slip-on shoes: Skechers Women's Go Walk 7 City Light Hiking boots: Skechers Men's Respected Boswell Golf shoes: Skechers Men's Go Golf Prestige SL Praised for its shoes' comfort and affordability, Skechers has options for nearly any activity. Whether you're looking for something that will get you through an intense cardio workout or keep you comfortable on the golf course, the brand's footwear doesn't sacrifice style either. And, to make them even more appealing, several Skechers models, like these athletic recovery sandals, have earned the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) seal of acceptance, a distinction awarded to products that support good foot health. As with many brands, some Skechers will give you a higher level of support while others are more focused on ease of use and their simple, hands-free slip-on style (perfect for many older adults with mobility issues). To help you find the perfect pair, we tapped several podiatrists for their insights about what to look for in Skechers shoes, along with their recommendations. Women's shoesSkechers Women's Slip-Ins Work Tilido-Ombray Need a reliable pair of nonslip, protective shoes for work or outdoor chores like gardening? These supportive, hands-free shoes deliver all-day relief without sacrificing function. 'The knit mesh uppers are breathable, and air-cooled memory provides temperature control,' Dr. Elizabeth Bonarigo, a podiatrist at the Lower Limb Institute, said. 'This option also features heel pillows, which contour [to] the heels and arches, giving long-lasting comfort.' Plus, the enhanced traction outsoles help prevent slips, making them a safe, sturdy option. Skechers Women's Slip-Ins Go Walk 7 City Lights This breathable, stretchy mesh pair slips on easily with no fussy laces, making them a great choice for busy mornings or travel days. Bonarigo recommends these shoes because of their snug fit, lightweight support and Hyper Pillar Technology for added stability. Bonus: They're machine-washable. Skechers Women's D'Lites Fresh Start These sneakers are perfect for walking and for anyone who spends hours on their feet, Dr. Samantha Landau, a foot and ankle specialist and assistant professor at the Touro University New York College of Podiatric Medicine, said. The secret is their breathable, air-cooled memory foam insoles, which help relieve pressure when walking and standing, along with their lightweight, shock-absorbing midsoles. Skechers Women's Slip-Ins Max Cushioning Arch Fit 2.0 Antilles With Goodyear rubber outsoles (yes, from the tire company), you know you're getting a premium shoe. 'With extra cushioning and a well-padded insole, these shoes are perfect for professionals who spend hours on their feet,' Dr. Gregory Alvarez, a podiatrist at Ankle and Foot Centers of America, said. 'The thick midsole helps reduce foot fatigue and pressure." Plus, like many Skechers shoes, the hands-free slip-in design makes them a great option for older adults or those who don't like tying laces. They're also approved by the APMA. Skechers Women's Max Cushioning Elite 2.0 Several of our experts recommend the Max Cushioning Elite 2.0. According to Bonarigo, the shoes are a favorite among runners because they offer arch support and supportive cushioning. 'It also has a heel-toe rocker, which allows for smooth transitions between strides,' she said. Skechers Women's Reggae Tireless Summer Bonarigo recommends these toe-loop sandals for their supportive midsoles, shock-absorbing rubber outsoles and built-in arch supports. We like them for all kinds of warm weather adventures from trail hiking to a day at the beach, and their stylish vegan leather and woven fabric straps add a nice touch. You can nab them in dark Chocolate or a lighter Chestnut. Men's shoesSkechers Men's Relaxed Fit Respected Boswell Landau recommends these men's mid-top boots for outdoor excursions. Their relaxed fit and breathable cushioning makes them a good choice for hikes, while their traction and side-to-side support help keep you steady on uneven ground. Crafted from a blend of water-repellent leather and synthetic uppers for durability, they also feature the brand's Goga Mat Arch technology for extra arch support. Skechers Men's Slip-Ins E'Lite Afterburn Grill Corporal Landau said these all-around great slip-on sneakers are a good choice for men dealing with limited mobility or back issues. The easy-on, hands-free design eliminates the need to bend, while the brand's air-cooled memory foam adds a layer of comfort, making them ideal for heavy walking or even hiking. And for those concerned about falls, they also have flexible traction outsoles for extra stability and grip on all types of surfaces. Skechers Men's Slip-Ins Hillcrest 2.0 'These shoes provide good grip, arch support and stability for outdoor adventures,' Alvarez said. 'They are durable and designed for uneven terrain, making them a great option for light hiking.' And with their slip-on style, mesh upper and trail-traction outsoles, they offer a trio of simplicity, ease and stability. Skechers Men's Slip-Ins Max Cushioning Arch Fit 2.0 If you're looking for an everyday shoe, Bonarigo recommends these Arch Fit 2.0 slip-on shoes, which have the APMA Seal of Acceptance. The shoes come with seriously plush cushioning and enhanced arch support, and they can be thrown in the washing machine for easy upkeep. And for anyone worried about slips and falls, the shoes feature the brand's Goodyear anti-slip rubber outsoles for added security. Skechers Men's Slip-Ins Go Golf Prestige SL According to Bonarigo, these waterproof shoes are a great option for golfers. The leather upper shoes feature heel-pillow contouring, which helps stabilize your feet while you wander the green. They're also available in both medium and wide widths to accommodate different feet. Skechers Men's Vigor 2.0 Trait Landau is a fan of these men's sneakers for outdoor activities because they balance performance and comfort. They feature the brand's signature memory foam insoles and shock-absorbing midsoles, which help reduce impact on the joints. They also have low heels and rubber traction outsoles, which make them more stable for longer walks and uneven terrain. Think about the intended activity When it comes to finding the best Skechers shoes for your needs, Dr. Peter Wishnie, a retired podiatrist with over three decades of experience, thinks purpose is as important as style. Are you a runner? A long-distance walker? A hiker? Or are you just looking for something for everyday wear? 'Walking shoes are designed for forward motion and often have more flex in the forefoot, while running shoes provide more shock absorption and heel cushioning,' he said. 'Hiking shoes offer stability and grip for uneven surfaces.' And, of course, comfort is key, no matter what you wear them for. According to a study by The National Library of Medicine, 'In addition to facilitating a general sense of well-being, the use of comfortable footwear is also considered to have a range of practical advantages, as it may facilitate physical activity, enhance sporting performance and reduce the incidence of injury.' Thankfully, Skechers has shoes for nearly every type of lifestyle. Look for arch support Selecting a pair of shoes suitable for your arch type should be a primary consideration when looking for Skechers shoes (or really any shoe), Dr. Holly Spohn-Gross, a podiatrist and APMA trustee, said. And, according to Bonarigo, supportive arches are especially beneficial for flat-footed folks because they limit the degree of overpronation — the inward rolling of the arch — that occurs when standing or walking. 'The arch support aids in shock absorption and serves as an external brace for the foot,' she said. 'These features provide protection against foot pain and overuse injuries when worn by those who are active and stand on their feet for long periods of time.' Keep in mind the cushioning, fit and stability According to Spohn-Gross, the level of cushioning and stack height — the thickness of the main sole — is also a concern for daily stability and balance. 'The thickness and the foam is now something that's very common in our shoes. And if it's too high, the patient could end up falling and tripping because the shoes won't have that foundation, that support,' she said. As for fit, the shoes should feel comfortable but offer enough space in the toe box to prevent pressure on the toes, Alvarez said. The following FAQs have been answered by podiatrists Dr. Peter Wishnie and Dr. Gregory Alvarez. Which Skechers are the most comfortable? Which Skechers are the most comfortable? Alvarez and Wishnie agree that the shoes from the Go Walk and Arch Fit lines are some of the most comfortable. 'Generally speaking, models like the Skechers Arch Fit series are great for those needing extra support, while the Skechers Go Walk line is good for everyday wear,' Wishnie said. Do podiatrists recommend Skechers? Do podiatrists recommend Skechers? Podiatrists do recommend Skechers, especially shoe models that have the Arch Fit technology for proper foot alignment and support, Alvarez said, noting that ultimately, the best shoe depends on individual needs. Wishnie said that some models, like the Arch Fit and Go Walk series are podiatrist-approved thanks to their comfort and support. How do you wash Skechers? How do you wash Skechers? 'Skechers has specific care instructions for each shoe model, so I always recommend checking their guidelines to keep your shoes in the best shape,' Alvarez said. According to Wishnie, a lot of the fabric versions can be machine-washed cold on a gentle cycle and air-dried. 'Leather or suede models should be cleaned with a damp cloth and specialty shoe cleaner,' he said. Are Skechers good walking shoes? Are Skechers good walking shoes? Both Wishnie and Alvarez agree that Skechers Go Walk series are great walking shoes. For this article, we consulted the following podiatrists to gain their professional insights on the best Skechers shoes for men and women to buy this year.
