Skechers trainers over half price at £34.99 on Amazon

Skechers Women's Uno Stand On Air Sneakers, which normally retail at £79, have been reduced by 56% to £34.99 on Amazon, where more than 60,000 shoppers have bought them. The black trainers have drawn praise from healthcare workers, teachers and retail staff, with buyers saying they can be worn through a full shift without discomfort.

Design and comfort features

The trainers are available in UK sizes two to seven, with a wide fit option also offered. They feature a memory foam sole and a 'Skech-Air' air-cushioning midsole, which some buyers have likened to 'walking on clouds'. Perforation accents on the front panel and collar are designed to keep feet cool, while the lace-up fastening provides a sturdy fit.

The sleek black design with a white sole and black laces is suitable for the workplace or casual days out. One NHS worker said: "Working in the NHS on night shift so these shoes are my favourite!".

Shopper reviews

A customer who ordered size 5 described the shoes as "very good material, waterproof and absolutely great value for money! 100/10." Another noted they "feel like walking on clouds" but added that they "do run smaller I think given the extra padding under foot, I would size up if I was able to but didn't have in stock."

A healthcare assistant said: "These shoes are very comfortable, as a HCA that works long hours these feel amazing on my feet, I feel supported with the right amount of cushion to take strain off my feet." The same reviewer added that the shoes are "really solid" and "very difficult to drive with them on."

Alternative comfort trainers

New Balance Dynasoft Nitrel v6 Gore Tex Shoes are discounted to £60 from £100, featuring GORE-TEX waterproof fabric. FitFlop Retro-Q Trainers are also available at £80, with one customer saying they "did 20,000 steps and they were perfect, no rubbing and no foot pain after."

Another Skechers buyer said their wife "doesn't struggle with feet, ankle and knee pain" when wearing them for work, while a final customer praised the Uno sneakers for being "very comfortable right out of the box" and "true to size."
