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. Love a great deal?

I've found the most comfortable and stylish everyday shoe — it's the Skechers Arch Fit 2.0 Star Bound
Skechers aren't known for their stylish designs, but the Arch Fit 2.0 Star Bound sees the company creating a versatile everyday shoe for anyone who needs extra comfort for long work hours or running errands. The Arch Fits provided me with all-day comfort on a very busy day, and I didn't experience any of my usual lower back aches. The lifted heel also gave good posture support. While the upper of the shoe is leather and less breathable than the usual mesh upper Skechers is known for, the Air Cooled Memory Foam midsole ensures there is ventilation in the shoe. You can find out more in my full Skechers Arch Fit 2.0 Star Bound review below. The Skechers Arch Fit 2.0 Star Bound are available for purchase from Amazon U.S., but the price ranges from $80 to $111, depending on what size you purchase. The good news is they are often on sale for less than that. U.S. women's sizes range from 5-11, as well as half sizes. There is also a wider fit option for people who need it. The sneakers are £89 when purchased from Amazon U.K., but are also available directly from the Skechers online U.K. store for £90. The U.K. women's sizes range from 2.5-8, and half sizes are available as well as a wide fit option. The shoes come in a White/Silver colorway or Black. I'm more of a fan of the white because they go with more of my wardrobe, but it's personal preference. The Skechers Arch Fit 2.0 Star Bound struck me as one of the more stylish pairs from a company I mostly think of as being just a functional shoe designer. This pair looks and feels the part for everyday wear in (almost) any situation. These shoes aren't meant for high or medium intensity exercise, but simply for comfortable day-to-day wear. They come equipped with Skechers' usual podiatry specs, but the combination of technology in these made them incredibly comfortable for being on my feet all day — the perfect work shoe. The sneakers have the Skechers Arch Fit removable insole, which increases weight distribution for a more comfortable walking experience. I noticed the pressure on my feet was significantly decreased, and being on my feet all day was actually bearable. They also have a cushioned midsole made from Air Cooled Memory Foam. This provides pressure relief and breathability for the shoes. However, since the upper is leather, they do get pretty warm. The shoes aren't breathable like some others in the Skechers cushioned range, like the Max Cushioning Elite 2.0, which have a mesh upper for increased breathability. But since you aren't going to be doing any rigorous training in these shoes, they shouldn't get too sweaty! The leather upper of the shoe is smooth and laces up through silver hooks, which catch the light. The leather is quite stiff on the first wear, but it becomes more malleable for me after two hours of walking. The sneakers have a flexible traction sole and a 1.75-inch heel height. The heel of the shoe gives a good lift to make heel-to-toe walking easier, and the slope of the shoe means it's not uncomfortable to stand in. The Skechers Arch Fit 2.0 Star Bound are for casual wear, not running or long, demanding walks. So to test them out I wore them on a day where I had a lot of errands to run and was on my feet a lot. The memory foam was bouncy to walk on and my feet didn't get sore at all. I didn't experience any rubbing around my ankles despite the shoes being made from a tougher leather material. Soft bouncy soles and blister free get a big yes from me. I often get pain in my lower back after standing all day, but didn't experience any back pain when wearing this shoe. I did notice that the leather at the top was creasing where my foot was bending, but that meant the shoe was becoming more malleable and beginning to move easily with my foot. I also noticed my left foot started to overpronate slightly at times, but I encounter this issue with a lot of different sneakers, so I'm not going to knock the Sketchers for that. The Skechers Arch Fit 2.0 Str Bound are easy to maintain as the leather simply wipes clean. The inner Arch Fit soles of the shoes are also removable and can be replaced if needed. The Skechers Arch Fit 2.0 Star Bound sneakers are a great option for anyone who is often on their feet all day and needs a little extra support to help with comfort and posture. While Skechers aren't usually known for their stylish designs, these shoes look decent and will fit in with a range of different scenarios; whether that's casual office work or anyone in a serving or catering role. They're obviously perfect for general day-to-day wear and running errands. The Air Cooled Memory foam makes them incredibly comfy to walk in and the elevated heel meant that my steps were more controlled than in the flat shoes I usually wear. It's worth noting that the leather takes a little while to flex with your foot movements, but once it does these are the shoes you will be reaching for every day.

Skechers Memorial Day sale from $21 at Amazon — 9 deals I'd shop this weekend on sneakers and sandals
We're just over a week out from Memorial Day sales officially arriving, but you don't need to wait any longer to save on comfortable footwear. Right now Amazon is slashing prices on Skechers with a ton of awesome styles up for grabs. I have my eye on the Skechers Go Run Elevate 2.0 Sneaker on sale from $53 at Amazon. We just checked them out in our Skechers Go Run Elevate 2.0 review and they're an awesome pick for beginner runners. We loved their propulsive, comfy and breathable design — plus, at this price, they're a steal! Prices vary based on your choices of size and color, so check the different color options available in your size to find the best discounts. For more savings, see our Amazon promo codes, and the Crocs deals I'd buy from $19 at Amazon. These Skechers Flip-Flops are perfect for summer, and they're an awesome deal at this price. Their 5Gen cushioning and knit upper make them comfortable and supportive, even when you're on your feet all day. Reviewers on Amazon also praised their lightweight design. This simple, slip-on shoe is easy to wear thanks to the stretchy canvas material they're made with. They fit snugly and, shape-wise, are a bit more narrow overall to hug your foot sans socks. There are very solid discounts up for grabs on these pretty Skechers Mary Jane Flats. With a mesh knitted upper, these are breathable and comfortable with plenty of room for your feet to move. These Skechers Go Walk Lite Susie ballet flats are super simple, but pretty, making them a wardrobe staple. They have a Skechers Air Cooled Goga Mat insole to propel you with every step, with a lightly padded collar to ensure they don't rub or cause blisters. The Skechers Respected Holmgren Slip-ins are on sale for up to 50% off in certain sizes and colors, so snap them up while they're still in stock! These are smart and understated, with a comfortable slip-on design. They have Air Cooled Memory Foam insoles and Goga Mat Arch support underfoot. If you've lost too many odd sandals or flip-flops to count, these Skechers Arch Fit City Catch should solve all your problems. Their knitted upper covers your feet to keep them secure, but they're breathable with an open back and toes. I'm personally in love with the pink and white Blush colorway. These smart Skechers loafers can now be yours starting from under $50. They're much more comfortable than your average pair of loafers thanks to their soft Skechers Air Cooled Memory Foam comfort insole, and their Heel Pillow keeps your foot firmly in place. If you're hitting the road, these Skechers are an awesome choice. Our Skechers Go Run Elevate 2.0 review said that these are great for beginner runners thanks to their affordable price point, bouncy and propulsive soles and breathable design. Like the name suggests, these Skechers have a ton of cushioning that makes them feel as soft as a cloud. Amazon customers rave about how comfortable they feel underfoot, and love their slip-in design that makes them super easy to wear.
