Cheaper-than-Amazon deal slashes 30% off Skechers slip off trainers that prevent back and foot pain

There’s nothing more important than finding a pair of shoes that are comfortable and easy to wear, and that becomes even more pressing if you struggle with pain or mobility issues. The wrong shoes can leave everything from your feet and knees to your back aching, especially if you’re on your feet most of the day, whilst the right pair should help support and balance your body and offer plenty of cushioning and impact protection.

If you’re on the lookout for just such a pair, you may want to head over to Skechers, where its summer sale has slashed the price of some of its best-selling designs. One pair that’s enjoying a big saving right now is the Skechers Slip-ins Ultra Flex 3.0 Smooth Step, which now have a huge 30% discount applied to them.

Usually priced at £90, they’re currently on offer for £62.99, saving you almost £30 on the comfortable and easy-to-wear trainers. This price rivals other big name retailers like Amazon, which currently has the trainers available for £80.81, making them £20 more expensive than buying directly from the Skechers website.

The slip-on trainers have been designed to be easily accessible, making them perfect for those who struggle with bending down to tie laces or cannot use lots of pressure to wriggle their foot into shoes. The hands-free design means you can quite literally step into them with minimal effort or strain.

To stop them from slipping around whilst wearing them, they’ve been designed with a heel pillow which holds your foot securely in place, with a stretch fit knitted upper which moves with your foot to keep it comfortable. The Skechers Slip-ins Ultra Flex 3.0 trainers also feature an air-cooled memory foam insole and a flexible outer sole to absorb impact and keep you comfortable all day.

Skechers might have cornered the market on slip-on trainers, but there are still other brands you can consider. Hush Puppies has launched a very competitive sale which sees its slip-on Recycled Good Shoe Bungee Trainers slashed from £65 to £25.99.

Meanwhile at Sports Direct, Reebok’s DMX Slip On 61 are now £49 down from £69.99, with a range of larger sizes still in stock. If you struggle to get the right fit, these adidas Blue Cloudfoam Go Sock Shoes are £60, but come in half sizes all the way from a 3.5 to a 9.

The Skechers Slip-ins Ultra Flex 3.0 also have a broad range of sizes spanning from a 2 to an 8, with half sizes available. They’ve also got an impressive 4.7 star rating, with shoppers praising their comfort and look.

One happy reviewer wrote: “Love the design! I'm on my feet for over 12 hours sometimes. I need quality shoes to wear and these ones are it!! I have no pain in my feet or back when I get off of work. I'm telling all my friends about them!”

A second agreed: “I am going to have knee surgery and the nurse-coach suggested sketchers shoes because of the rubber soles and ease of wear. She wears them all the time.”

A third shopper who suffers with mobility issues called the Skechers Slip-ins Ultra Flex 3.0 “perfect”, saying: “I have pain issues - back, knees, feet, everywhere. Bending and putting on shoes in general is an issue. I've tried a few other "easy hands free shoes" that still required some struggle on my part to put on so even though these were more than I'd normally spend on shoes, I decided to buy try them out based on reviews and Holy Moley, I'm so glad I did.

“These are perfect for anyone like me with mobility issues especially with bending and putting on shoes. I had trouble bringing my dog for walks because I legit couldn't put on good shoes to bring him on them, and these I can just easily slip on and go. I kid you not that it would take me 5+ minutes to put on other sneakers and these take me less than 5 seconds. On top of this, I have wide feet and I have such a hard time finding wide enough shoes and even when I've ordered "wide" sneakers they haven't been actually wide. These fit me perfectly. I can wear these with or without socks comfortably. I'm probably going to buy another pair in another color. I'm now a fan of Sketchers for sure.”

However some found the Skechers Slip-ins Ultra Flex 3.0 less comfortable, with one warning: “Very high at ankle height, not suitable for swollen ankles.”

Whilst another chimed in: “I bought a size 9 Wide width and that is what I received, however, the wide width is not wide at all. Way too narrow of a toe box. I have narrow feet, but need the wider width to allow toe box spread. These are not a true wide width when ordered that way.”

Others, however, couldn’t get over their comfort, writing: “When I first wore these I was afraid they were too tight in the instep but after wearing just a few times they were perfect. Have never tried slip ins before and they are absolutely amazing. The padding at the heel is a real bonus. For summer shoes they are perfect.”

Whilst another simply said: “I love these slip in Sketchers. I have them in 4 colors. They are the most comfortable shoes I have.”
