‘They are lightweight, comfortable and very easy to put on and take off’

A reliable pair of shoes is a must-have, especially for people who work long hours on their feet. And right now, Amazon has reduced some top-rated trainers that shoppers compare to ‘walking on air’.
The Skechers Women’s Summits 12985 Trainers are now £42.95 from £59, saving customers £16.01. The sale applies to the black colour option, with other colours varying in price.
The shoes tick all the boxes for comfort. They have a soft flat mesh knit upper with a bungee-laced front, making them easy to slip on and off – particularly handy for anyone with mobility issues or arthritis.
They also have shock-absorbing midsoles to minimise impact and keep wearers comfortable on extended walks. Plus, a flexible traction outsole also enhances grip and stability on a variety of surfaces.
Skechers claim they’re suitable for several activities, including aerobics, cross-training, fitness, racquetball and volleyball. They’re water-resistant too, though we wouldn’t recommend wearing them in heavy rain, as they aren’t completely waterproof.

Beyond Skechers, another place to shop for comfortable shoes is New Balance. In particular, the 530 shoes (£110) have a big following thanks to their retro-inspired style, lightweight build and ABZORB heel that absorbs shock effectively on hard floors.
Otherwise, for a reliable pair of slip-on shoes, Kizik is known for its internal cage designs that let shoppers slip them on without bending down. These full-grain leather Vegas 2 trainers (£130) feature a trendy animal-print finish and a high-rebound midsole for comfort.
Back on Amazon, the Skechers Women’s Summits 12985 Trainers have more than 6,000 five-star reviews. One said: “Perfect, love them. First-class service from order to delivery. Thrilled, so comfortable, I’ve now got three pairs of these amazing comfortable trainers in other colours.”
Another wrote: “So comfortable and easy to put on. Excellent value with such a good price. It’s light, walking on air, and helps my arthritic feet.”
However, this mixed review reads: “While these trainers are lovely colour and a reasonable price, they come up very small compared with other Skechers trainers that I have.”
On a brighter note, this Amazon shopper piped up: “My daughter has had them for a full year of school, and they’re still going strong. They’ve held up brilliantly, they’re comfortable, and the lack of laces makes them exactly what she wanted.
“When it comes time to size up, we’ll be buying another pair without hesitation. The quality and durability have honestly been great.”
Meanwhile, someone else remarked: “I bought these Skechers for my mum, who has arthritis, and they have been perfect for her. They are lightweight, comfortable and very easy to put on and take off, which makes them much more accessible for her.
“Despite being so light, they also feel durable and supportive. A great choice for anyone with arthritis or reduced mobility.”
