‘Bought these as a Father’s Day gift for my husband and he loves them’
Skechers’ hands-free shoes are designed to make getting ready a little easier, with a slip-on style that means shoppers can step in and out without having to bend down and fiddle with laces. Now, a pair of Skechers Garza Gervin Hands Free Slip-ins Oxford Shoes in dark brown leather are up for grabs at £47.99, down from £79, on Amazon.
The shoes, which come in sizes 3 to 15 and a variety of other colours, priced differently, have a smooth leather upper and a classic Oxford-inspired silhouette, giving it a smarter finish than a typical casual trainer. Stretch laces add to the easy slip-on feel, while the moulded heel panel is designed to let buyers step into the shoes without needing to use their hands.
Inside, the shoes feature a charcoal-infused Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole, designed to provide a cushioned feel underfoot, alongside a Skechers Goga Mat Arch for additional support. The flat heel and medium width fit keep the design straightforward and suitable for everyday wear.

The ankle height shoes are made with leather, including the sole, and are available in a wide fit version for those who prefer a roomier feel across the foot. They should be hand washed only and, importantly, are not waterproof, so they are better suited to dry conditions rather than wet-weather walks.
Another stylish but practical choice are the Clarks Suede Lace Up Walking Shoes priced at £100 on M&S. These brown shoes come in sizes 6 to 12, are crafted from ‘supple suede’, and are described as flexible walking shoes.

Sticking to the colour scheme, Next has its Tan Brown Elastic Lace Smart Trainers for £52. These come in sizes 6.5 to 13 and also have an easy slip-on design with elasticated laces.
The Skechers Garza Gervin shoes have been rated highly on Amazon, however, as one person wrote: “Extremely comfortable and so easy to slip on and off. Like walking on air.”
Another five-star review said: “Bought these as a Father’s Day gift for my husband and he loves them. He said they are so comfortable and easy to slip on and off. They look very smart with jeans and slacks – a nice shade of brown and very lightweight for walking. They are the perfect fit and nice value for the money.”
This person added: “Superbly comfortable. Very much slip-on, no fuss. Love these.” A handful of others had concerns, such as this person who wrote: “Skechers slip-ins are generally excellent, but if you have a gravel drive, I would avoid these. The soles have wide slots and collect stones from my gravel drive, depositing them around the house when they inevitably fall out.”
Another added: “Previous Skechers shoes have been immediately comfortable straight out of the box. These seem to be needing a longer break-in period.”
