Shoppers are praising a pair of Skechers trainers, with one describing them as 'very comfortable from the off'. The Skechers Men's Delson-Antigo Oxfords in dark brown leather are currently available from Amazon for £51.07, down from £59.99.
Other colours are available, and the shoes come in sizes 5.5 to 13. They are described as a smooth leather, laced, casual slip-on Oxford shoe, featuring a stretch bungee-laced front panel and a shock-absorbing midsole. The shoes also include Skechers' Air-Cooled Memory Foam cushioned comfort insole, and the site suggests they could be ideal for autumn and winter. Other features include a round toe and flat heel.
What shoppers say
The shoes have more than 8,600 reviews on Amazon, with an overall average rating of 4.4 out of five stars. One shopper said: "Purchased as a present for an elderly relative. He absolutely loves them, (they are) comfortable and easy to put on, with no laces to struggle with. He also has a high instep, but these shoes were no issue. (They are) lightweight."
A second reviewer wrote: "I am a little surprised how good these shoes are - they are not cheap, so I probably shouldn't be, but rarely these days do things live up to expectations. Firstly, they look great, the leather looks like good leather (and) is soft and supple. They are very comfortable from the off. The elasticated laces, despite my initial concerns on my first wear, are actually fine and I have never felt they were loose or would come off. I bought them for a trip to New York and walked an average of 26k steps each day without issue. They still look like great and I've not had any issue with stones sticking in the tread as others mention in reviews. Overall, I'd recommend and will keep an eye out for a second pair if they are ever on offer."
Mixed feedback and alternatives
A third shopper added: "The most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. Love them. I have four pairs now and would highly recommend." However, not all feedback was positive. One reviewer said: "These were lovely, but sadly too narrow for my husband to get his foot in, so they had to be returned." Another wrote: "Very comfy shoes but the soles wore out quickly."
For an alternative slip-on style, M&S offers Mesh Slip On Pumps for £28 in navy, in sizes 6 to 12. These have breathable mesh uppers, elasticated gussets for easy on and off wear, and Freshfeet technology, which helps combat odour-causing bacteria. Debenhams also has Pavers Easy Step In Cushioned Shoes in navy for £44.99, available in sizes 6 to 12 and two other colours, featuring a cushioned outsole and supportive insole.
