Skechers ‘summery’ £64 trainers reduced to £39 provide comfort ‘all day’

Skechers’ Edgeride Smooth Journey sneakers have been crafted with the brand’s air-cooled memory foam to deliver ample support and its well-cushioned midsole offers comfort

With summer approaching, many of us are eager to spend more time outdoors when the weather brightens, undertaking hikes, strolls and expeditions that demand comfortable footwear. Skechers is a well-known brand whose shoes are consistently praised as comfy for all-day wear and one specific style is presently discounted on Amazon, now priced at £38.90.

Slashed from £64, the Skechers Women’s Edgeride Smooth Journey Sneakers in the grey and pink variant (which appears to have been discontinued in this colourway) are offered in sizes three to eight and have been designed with the brand’s air-cooled memory foam to provide substantial support and its generously-cushioned midsole delivers comfort ‘all day’.

Featuring a mesh upper, the trainers are likely to be breathable, making them perfect for spring and summer usage and include a tongue tab which makes them simple to slip on – something customers have been commending, with one five-star review stating: “Lovely shoes. Very comfortable and easy to get them on and off. Great value for money. Washable too and will last for a long time!”

While the shoes are available in several other shades (including navy and pink, both of which are £43.65 and £33.02 on sale respectively), for those who prefer an all grey style, without pink highlights, Sports Direct has reduced the price of the New Balance 373 trainers from £59.99 to £49.99.

For a more vibrant option, FitFlop’s RETRO-Q Fabric/Suede Trainers, priced at £80, are made from suede and leather and feature ‘advanced iQushion technology, providing responsive support that complements your body’s natural movements’.

The Skechers design has been hailed as ‘beautiful’ by shoppers, with its lightweight finish being a particular highlight. One customer enthused: “Summery Skechers. Chunky heel and sturdy sole make these Skechers comfortable for walking and wearing all day. Feel light on your feet. Nice shade of pink with a light blue trim. Value for money”, reports Birmingham Live.

Another fan commented: “Excellent value. I have wide feet but these were a very good fit and so comfortable. Loved the style and colour plus lightweight for packing.”

While many customers found the sizing accurate – as reflected in this review which stated: “Lovely trainers, snug fit (not tight) very well made and true to size” – one shopper noted that they found the Amazon website’s sizing to be slightly larger than expected, leaving a four-star review.

The review read: “Quality of the shoe is good but size is not optimal as UK size as it’s slightly larger compared with actual UK size. However we tried to manage through filler and adjust the shoe size.” Another buyer warned that the laces on the shoes ‘aren’t real’, meaning ‘you can’t tighten or loosen them’.

Despite this, the shoes boast a 4.6 star rating on Amazon, based on numerous reviews. Shoppers can purchase them here.
