‘I bought these for a summer trip to Rome where I wanted to look cute and be comfortable, and these helped my feet to survive all the walking, not a single blister or sore!’
With the summer on the horizon, many of us are gearing up for trips abroad to explore a new city or country. These types of city breaks often come with the prospect of walking what feels like hundreds of miles in a bid to get the lay of the land. Meaning comfort is key.
In warmer climates, however, enclosed shoes can make our feet warm and swollen, increasing the potential of rubbing. But shoppers are praising a pair of sandals from footwear brand Skechers, which have been hailed as ‘life changers’ and are “comfortable to wear for all day use, every day!”
Skechers On the Go 600 sport sandals are available in a range of sizes from one to 11 and in a handful of colours from navy and taupe to purple. They’re currently on sale on Amazon, with 26% off certain colours and sizes. It’s important to note that each size and colourway differs in price – for example, when ordering the Navy Textile Trim design in size four, they’re down from £54 to £39.98.
Made with lightweight, responsive 5Gen cushioning, the sandals have a Goga Max high-rebound insole for maximum comfort and keep the foot secure with adjustable straps that wrap around the ankle and toes with a hook-and-loop instep closure.
Making the shoes ideal for spending hours on the feet, shoppers have cited how the shoes mould to the shape of the wearer’s foot, which provides ‘great support’ and makes for easy wearing. One fan of the sandals said in a five-star review: “I have arthritis, and these are like walking on air. Mould beautifully to my feet. I’m very pleased and it’s worth every penny being Skechers.”

The Skechers On the Go 600 Sandals come in sizes one to 11 and are crafted with 5Gen cushioning and a Goga Max high rebound insole.
These Skechers sandals are similar in strap design to the Women’s Original Universal Sandals from Teva, whose colours range from neon coral orange to dusty pastel hues and cost £50. Similarly, these sandals also have an EVA midsole whose heel cupping and arch cookie adds much needed supported.
For a different strap design, FitFlop’s F-MODE Go Leopard Adjustable Webbing Z-Strap Sandals, £65, have straps across the foot in a Z-configuration. These are built on the brand’s Microwobbleboard™ midsole.
The Skechers sandals are reportedly easy to clean, too, which is great for those who live in them throughout the summer, with one user commenting in a five-star review: “I could stand in these sandals for hours and not even realise it because they’re so comfortable! In fact, this is the second pair I’ve bought – that’s how comfortable they are, and the longer you wear them, the more comfortable they get as they mould to your feet.
“I’ve had my first pair for over two years now, and as soon as it’s warm enough to, I start wearing them. These are my go-to shoes for warm weather, I wear them every day and since I wear them so much I can attest that they clean off super quick and easy with a Mr Clean magic eraser however, the generic magic erasers work exactly the same as I’ve used both on these sandals!”
With an overall 4.5 star rating from over 33,000 reviews, the sandals have received glowing praise from shoppers who love the shoes’ practicality and style. One person raved: “I bought these for a summer trip to Rome where I wanted to look cute and be comfortable, and these helped my feet to survive all the walking, not a single blister or sore! Very sturdy and will us again for my next trip!”
Someone else echoed: “So good I have 3 pairs in different colours! Cannot recommend these life changers enough. They support your feet as they should in all of the ways that they should, as well as being soft and squishy, comfortable to wear for all day use, every day! They are easy to adjust the straps, and have got a good amount of grip on the bottom as well.”
The only drawback commonly reported on is that the sizing of the shoes can be a little off, with some people stating they’re ‘huge’, recommending shoppers to ‘order two sizes smaller than normal. Others found they were ‘unfortunately very narrow’. It’s worth noting that the brand also offers wide sizing as well as regular.
Although for the most part, Amazon shoppers had a positive experience, with many speaking of how the Skechers sandals were ‘so comfortable’ from the get-go: “On my first day wearing them, I clocked 25k steps through hills and countryside.
“Not a blister or sore feet, thanks to soft straps and arch support, it was like walking on a cloud. Now I try and make any excuse to wear them not just long walks! I won’t be without these again for the price!”
