To prevent rubbing or aching they have a soft upper, with a responsive TPU plate and Skechers' signature Move Foam cushioning for added padding. As well as comfort, the Skechers SKX football boots have also been designed to improve their game, with explosive track inspired traction for maximum acceleration. The upper molding of the boots has also been carefully designed to help with precise ball control, and have a lightweight design that keeps them comfortable and easy to run around in. You can pick them up in four different colourways that'll work for all occasions (and team colours), with bright shades like neon yellow and cobalt blue, plus more subtle colourways like black and white with gold details. You can also head over to Sports Direct, where there's the same pairs of boots, as well as a pair designed for playing on other surfaces which are also on sale for £31. Nike has also slashed the price of its Nike Jr. Mercurial Vapor 16 Academy by a huge 40%, taking the price from £59.99 to £35.99. Perfect for slightly older kids, they come in sizes 13.5 to adults 5.5, with a choice of four different bold colours. However if you want to take advantage of Skechers summer sale, you can pick up the SKX football boots for £30.99 now.

Massive Skechers sale live from $9 at Amazon — 15 deals I'd shop now on sneakers and apparel
Amazon is one of my favorite places to go for Skechers deals! Even though we're just off the back of a big sales event, you can currently still snag Skechers deals from just $9 at Amazon. But with so many to choose from, which ones should you go for? For starters, I highly recommend the Skechers Go Run Elevate 2.0 on sale from $43 at Amazon. We gave them 4 stars in our Skechers Go Run Elevate 2.0 review, praising their bouncy and comfortable feel underfoot. They're great for beginner runners, and they're even more affordable with a discount applied. Note that prices vary based on your choice of size and color, so check out the different color options in your size to score the best deals. For more savings, see our Amazon promo codes coverage, and check out the deals I'd shop from $15 in Amazon's Yeti sale. The Skechers Tantric are on sale for a super-cheap price, although the discount doesn't apply to all sizes and colors. These are super comfortable to wear thanks to their soft perforated footbed and canvas strap. Score these comfortable Skechers sneakers starting from $14. They feature a Skechers memory foam footbed and come in four stylish color options. Reviewers on Amazon say these are sturdy and fit true to size. These creatively-named Skechers wedges are on sale for a steal in certain sizes and colors! These sandals are super comfortable to wear thanks to their stretchy strap and Memory Foam footbed. I love the color option with the sparkly jewels on the strap! There isn't much better on the beach than these Skechers thong sandals. They have a very supportive design, with a Luxe Foam cushioned comfort insole and a shock-absorbing midsole that means you can wear them for hours without any discomfort. They look cool, too. These classic sneakers from Skechers are extra comfortable thanks to their Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole. They have a premium feel thanks to their suede upper, meaning you can wear them to dress up or dress down. These Skechers flip-flops are super cute thanks to their decorative crochet strap. But they're comfortable too, with Skechers Yoga Foam cushioned soles to keep you light on your feet even on long walks on the beach. These are the best Skechers slip-ins we've tested, so they're the ones to get if you want a super easy way to put your shoes on. They're lightweight, stretchy and breathable. In our Skechers Slip Ins Dazzling Haze review, we said they're perfect for low-impact activities like walking, light resistance training and dance cardio. If you prefer the classic slip-on look, the Go-Walk 5 Skechers have a soft, breathable, knitted upper that is comfortable across the top of your foot, whether you're wearing socks or not. They are machine washable, comfortable underfoot, and by design, extremely easy to slip on and off. These Skechers loafers are both smart and comfortable. They blend in well everywhere, from the office to the beach! With air-cooled memory foam underfoot and a stretch knit upper, your feet will be supported, and there's no chance of blisters. I'm a big fan of the sharp range of black and brown color options this shoe comes in, and they're super comfortable to boot, thanks to their Skechers Memory Foam cushioned comfort insole. They also have a flexible traction outsole that moves with you and keeps you steady on rough terrain. If you're hitting the road, these Skechers are an excellent 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. We rank these shoes as the best Skechers for novice runners. These extremely light and breathable shoes are supportive, durable and come in at an affordable price point. However, we noted in our Skechers Go Run Lite review that you'll eventually want to upgrade to a shoe that is engineered for running longer distances if you do get serious about the sport. This Skechers Men's Polo is a total steal priced from $9 in certain sizes and colors. Made of Go Dri All Day fabric, it's lightweight, breathable and dries fast. It comes in white, black and three shades of blue. This Skechers tunic is a great choice to beat the heat. It's made of GO DRI SWIFT fabric that wicks sweat and dries fast. It also offers UPF 40+ protection and 4-way stretch. Plus, the side slits offer extra mobility without sacrificing coverage. Comfortable leggings are always welcome, whether you're at the gym or lounging around the house. We like these because they have exterior side pockets and a cotton-like feel, as well as 4-way stretch and moisture-wicking material.

Prime Day has ended but these 5 sleep deals from $10 are still live — and they're all you need for a good night's rest
Whether you're heading back to college soon or you're battling seasonal insomnia, summer is a difficult time to get quality sleep. And, while Prime Day may have officially ended, I've found 5 deals still live that are sure to promise better sleep, including a huge 86% off sale that offers you the chance to get the buy top-rated noise-cancelling earplugs for just $9 at Amazon (was $69). So, whether you're looking for the next best mattress for your sleep needs, a topper to upgrade your existing bed or accessories to make your room feel like a hotel, Amazon still has some generous discounts on offer. For more deals, check out our best mattress sales page which is updated regularly. But for now, these are the 5 deals I think are all you need to improve your sleep this summer. 1. Zinus 12' Cloud Memory Foam Mattress: twin was $259 now $200.99 at AmazonMaking this year's best cheap mattress guide, this Zinus 12' mattress is fantastic value for money. Made from three layers of foam, we found it was best suited to side sleepers. During the Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam mattress review, we tested the 10' version of the bed and found it had a plush feeling that contoured to the body, and we expect the same, if not more pressure relief, from the 12' version. Temperature control does let this mattress down, with the foam occasionally trapping heat, but for the price, we were impressed with its performance. Now, a queen is reduced to $278 (was $399) and you'll get a 10-year warranty included. 2. Sealy Dreamlife 3' Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper: twin was $149 now $115.99 at AmazonIf you're heading back to college and want to transform the comfort of your student mattress, shopping this month's mattress topper deals is the answer. The Sealy Dreamlife topper is available in a 2' height and a 3' height, and, like many of the best mattress toppers, it's made from gel memory foam that contours to the body and is supposedly better at dissipating heat than more traditional foam. With Surface-Guard Technology, the topper is antimicrobial, meaning it'll resist allergens and stay fresh for longer. A queen is now down to $146.99 (was $199) and you'll get a 1 year warranty. 3. IDE11 Ear Plugs for Sleep: was $69.99 now $9.99 at AmazonMy go-to piece of sleep equipment is a pair of good ear plugs. Not only can they help you fall asleep fast in a busy environment (like a dorm room), but they can help you sleep through the night and reduce nighttime wake ups. And I couldn't quite believe this 86% off deal when I saw the IDE11 earplugs. With noise cancelling capability and soft silicone for painless wearing, these are high quality plugs that are designed to stay put throughout the night. They also come with a portable carry case and four different sizes to suit most sleepers as well as seven ear tips. For just $9.99, it's an absolute steal. 4. yescool Cooling Weighted Blanket: 15lbs was $45.99 now $35.99 at AmazonWhen it's too hot for a duvet but you'd like the comfort of feeling pressure on you as you sleep, a cooling weighted blanket can be the perfect solution. This blanket from yescool ensures you won't overheat thanks to its breathable cotton fabric, and the small squares in which the glass beads are sewn in means the weight will always be evenly distributed. Weighted blankets have many benefits, one being the easing of nighttime anxiety, and they've been proven to reduce insomnia symptoms. You can choose from many different sizes and weights, but a 15lbs, 48x72' yescool Weighted Blanket is now discounted to $35.99 (was $45.99) at Amazon. 5. Blissy Silk Sleep Mask: was $47.45 now $26.87 at AmazonThe increase in daylight during the summer months increases our risk of insomnia. So, if you don't want late sunsets to prevent you from falling asleep or early sunrises waking you up, a blackout sleep mask is key. This mask from Blissy is made from 100% mulberry silk to remain cooling, hypoallergenic and anti-aging. The padded design removes any pressure from the eyes (which also makes it a great choice for those with eyelash extensions). You can choose from four different colors which are all 43% off, dropping the price from $47.45 to $26.87.

Ignore the back to school checklists — this is the one thing your kid really needs to sleep well at college
Heading to college? Dorm room beds are notoriously just a step up from lying on the floor so take advantage of the Prime Day deals and save your sleep with the Siena Essential mattress now from $119 at Amazon. Research has shown good sleep helps you learn and while the best mattresses we've tested might be beyond a student budget, a new bed chosen for your needs can help you achieve quality sleep (and maybe even higher grades, although a mattress alone can't replace studying.) I've searched thousands of Amazon listings and in my opinion, the best Prime Day mattress deals 2025 are on budget beds. That's good news for college students — these twin XL mattress deals are perfect for your dorm room. And don't forget to check out our guide to the best Prime Day sleep deals, for savings on college essentials like ear plugs and eye masks. 1. Siena 8" Memory Foam Mattress: twin XL was $189.99 now $149 at AmazonSiena is responsible for the best cheap mattress we've tested and if you want a bed to see you through college and beyond, I recommend checking out the Siena 10" Memory Foam Mattress from $149 at Amazon. But if your budget is too tight, the 8" Siena should deliver similar support and comfort, if slightly less longevity and pressure relief. Still, we predict it should keep you snoozing through undergrad. And with a twin XL only $149, it's easy on the wallet. Plus, you get a 180-night trial and 10-year warranty. User score: ★★★★½ (700+ reviews) 2. EGOHOME 10" Memory Foam Mattress: twin XL was $153.50 now $139.87 at AmazonWe recently tested a couple of EGOHOME mattresses and this budget brand has impressed us with the overall quality at a low price. While we haven't tried the 10" model, our EGOHOME 12" Memory Foam Mattress review team praised the pressure relief of this all-foam design. The best memory foam mattresses cushion the body where you press into the bed, so we think this is a good choice for side sleepers. $139.87 for a twin XL isn't an unusual deal from EGOHOME but it's still an impressive price, particularly if you want to get the most out of your money. User score: ★★★★½ (1,600+ reviews) 3. Novilla 10" Memory Foam Mattress: twin XL was $146.73 now $129.99 at AmazonI often spot Novilla among the best selling mattresses on Amazon and this budget-brand has plenty of affordable picks for anyone heading to college. My top choice is the 10" Memory Foam Mattress, now $129.99 for a twin XL on Amazon (was $146.73.) That's the cheapest it's been in a while and it comes with a 100-night trial and 10-year warranty. At 10" thick it's deep enough to support adult bodies and the shaped foam layer enhances breathability, to help you sleep cooler. User score: ★★★★★ (100+ reviews)
