My new Skechers

I know we have had endless threads about trainers/comfy shoes/feet ? in general, but despite spending a couple of hundred pounds on 2 pairs of Hotter trainers, 2 pairs of Jana Softline (v soft) my feet are playing up again in this hot weather.
My Birkenstocks are fine but the necessity for compression socks means barefoot is no longer an option. I have just taken delivery of these Skechers Go Walk Joy - knitted and stretchy, superlight - at last I can walk in comfort! And at £34.99 a heck of a lot cheaper!

SueDonim life is too short for uncomfortable shoes! I wore my new ECCO sandals today. Lovely and squidgy sole but lots of supportive and adjustable straps. Not too clumsy looking either.

Exactly, Aveline! When my feet were so bad, I really began to understand why older people can sometimes become housebound. It doesn’t take much. sad

Comfort and stability for our safety are essentials which vanity should never get the better of.
I’d like more of the bright colours “mix” colour way.

Just wanted to say thank you to MawtheMerrier. I was literally just about to order some sketchers from the official site for my husband and myself. After seeing this thread I decided to order from M&M Direct, and ordered 3 pairs all at half the price I would have paid. They arrived today, and are great. I’m really happy with them. smile
After I ordered, I realised I could have gone through Quidco and got 8% back. Hey ho! Hopefully someone else will benefit from this knowledge!

Delighted to hear it!

After reading all the raves about Sketchers I decided to have a look at them and they are the most ugly and unflattering shoes I have ever seen.
