Skechers £55 trainers praised as 'walking on cushions' drop to £25
Skechers £55 trainers drop to £25 on Amazon

The Skechers Women's Graceful Get Connected Sneaker has been reduced in several colours and sizes on Amazon, now priced from as little as £24.99 — less than half the Skechers website price of £55. Made with a memory foam cushioned insole, a shock-absorbing lightweight flexible outsole, and open weave mesh fabric panels, these trainers are built for all-day comfort and have been hailed as ideal for long standing shifts.

Price and Colour Options

The classic lace-up design of the Graceful Get Connected trainers makes them a versatile choice for everyday wear suited to both work and leisure, with a range of different colours to choose between — from smart black or classic white to eye-catching lavender or mauve. Shoppers should be aware, however, that the price of the trainers varies by colour and size on Amazon.

In size five, the cheapest option is the Mauve Mesh Trim version of the trainers at £24.99, closely followed by the Black Mesh Turquoise Trim choice at £27.99. Other styles include ones with eye-catching gold or silver trims, or pops of colour such as hot pink laces, although not all of these are discounted as heavily.

Shopper Reviews and Ratings

With more than 75,000 reviews from Amazon shoppers, the trainers have earned an impressive average rating of 4.6 out of five stars. Fans of the shoes have hailed them as 'the best' when it comes to comfort, with hospital workers, nursery staff, and others who are on their feet 'all day' swearing by them.

One Amazon shopper praised the trainers in a five-star review: "They are extremely lightweight and the memory foam insoles make them feel like I'm walking on cushions - perfect for all-day wear. The fit is true to size, and they don't rub or pinch, even when new."

Another agreed: "I'm a nurse, and I'm on my feet for 12 hours at work, I hardly sit, and my feet have been having a rough time with shoes. I tried these and half the day I forgot I was wearing shoes. They are lightweight and super comfortable."

Other Deals and Feedback

More top footwear brands are offering bestselling trainers for less ahead of Black Friday. At New Balance, the popular 471 Shoes have dropped from £90 down to £63 in both colours with classic cream or autumnal brown to choose from, although shoppers should note that only selected sizes are left in stock. Over at Nike, another favourite are the Court Vision Low Shoes, an 'old-school' 80s basketball style of trainer which have had 30% knocked off their price tag in two colours and are now £52.49 reduced from £74.99. And at Adidas, a top choice in the brand's outlet are the lookalike VL Court Classic Shoes which also have up to 30% off their price, bringing them down to £38.50 in multiple colours.

However, some reviewers complained of the same issue with the insole, with one remarking: "Comfortable trainers but the sole inner comes unstuck and moves around a lot." While a different reviewer fed back: "Unfortunately the inner sole has come unstuck within a short time of having them. I could feel the memory foam sole moving in the trainer, which is a shame."

Meanwhile, someone else wrote alongside a five-star rating: "I love Skechers and these ones are particularly comfortable. They have a wonderful insole that feels very cushioned and 'bouncy'. My feet don't get too hot in them. They are very lightweight shoes. Stylish too."
