Skechers Slip-ins: Ultra Flex 3.0 - Smooth Step Black

I bought these, honestly, because they were the least “old lady” looking of the slip in styles. I previously purchased a slip in style from another brand (that I love) but needed a new pair and thought I’d give Skechers a try. I buy slip ins because I have early onset joint issues and need a hands free option for my sneakers. The first thing I’ll say is, like the other brand I bought from, these are completely hands free and you can literally just step into them. Secondly, these shoes are so freaking comfortable!! My feet tend to swell when I have a flare up, and when I first got these I was worried they’d be too tight during that time but they’re not!! The top stretches so well in a way that doesn’t feel restrictive at all, which is so rare for sneakers!

The top stretches so well in a way that doesn’t feel restrictive at all, which is so rare for sneakers! Secondly, they’re so freaking comfortable they actually make my joints feel better by wearing them than if I was barefoot! I’ve been wearing them around my house just because of the relief I’ve felt in my joints. Also, they look like normal laceless sneakers, and not at all matronly in person, in my opinion (which was a primary concern of mine). Another concern I had was heel/arch pressure, since too much exasperates my joint issues, and there isn’t too much at all! If you’re someone that unfortunately suffers from arthritis/fibromyalgia/hypermobile joints/post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome/etc. but still wants a stylish sneaker, I 100% recommend these!!

Comfortable out of the box. It’s my second pair. The only thing I can’t do in them is run. But all other cardio and weight training they’re great. Love no laces.

Great shoes for everyday life, work, university and exercise. Very comfortable and I love the back heal feature that makes it super easy to slide your feet in and out of the shoes. Highly recommend for people who are always on the go and need something comfortable and reliable!
