Skechers Men's Delson - Axton Slip On Trainers have been reduced to £44.99 from £79.99 on Amazon, with shoppers praising their cushioned feel and describing them as hugging feet 'like a pillow'. The trainers, available in sizes 5.5 to 13, have earned a 4.5 out of 5 star rating from almost 10,000 reviews on the platform.
Design and comfort features
Made with a smooth leather upper and mesh detailing, the trainers combine a sporty shape with a more polished finish, making them versatile enough for work, weekends and everyday errands. Inside, an Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole provides cushioning, while the Goga Mat instep and flexible comfort midsole are designed to support the feet as buyers move.
The trainers have a flat heel, ankle height shaft and flexible EVA sole, giving them a lightweight feel suited to everyday walking. They are also machine washable, although care instructions should be followed to protect the leather and other materials.
Shopper reviews
One customer said: “The moment I slipped my foot in, the soft memory foam hugged my arch like a pillow and the lightweight leather felt surprisingly airy. The mesh detail adds a nice breathability and the elastic loop makes getting them on easier than I expected. They look smart enough for casual outings and the stitching feels solid, though the sole started to lose a little tread after a month of daily walks. Overall they’re comfy and worth the price. Had to return as the fit is too narrow.”
Another added: “Nice shoes - a little more "exciting" than ordinary trainers. My fussy husband likes them.” A third person wrote: “It feels amazing. Of course as a slip-on shoes they are easy to go on but they fit just perfectly - not too loose or tight, not had any issues when walking in rain. For the price so far its worth the money. My other tied based shoes were constantly destroyed despite the money put in. In short, these shoes are great quality, comfortable, good in the rain and great to also drive the car with, I highly recommend this to anyone.”
Alternatives and drawbacks
Some customers did deduct a star, with one noting: “The opening is a little bit tight, but otherwise pleased with them.” Another wrote: “Sketchers shoes are very comfortable and look good. The only downside is they are not easy to get into.”
Other options include the M&S Suede Lace Up Runner Trainers for £50, available in sizes 7 to 12, and the Brown Colour Trainers with Suede Trim from Next for £55, also in sizes 7 to 12, which feature suede trims and a 'breathable construction'.
