Why we love this deal

When it comes to sneakers, you get what you pay for, so instead of saving your money and grabbing a pair that will only last a few months, you're better off spending a bit more to get a long-lasting pair you can count on for years. That said, you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on a high-tech pair of kicks to secure a shoe that will go the distance with you. A fancy running shoe might stretch your budget (and for good reason if you're committing to lots of training) but a simple sneaker that you just want for basic everyday movement is more affordable than you think. In fact, Macy's is selling a super comfy pair of slip-ons for 38% off that we think you'll love adding to your closet. 

The Skechers Go Walk Flex Slip-In Sneakers, which are usually $80, are only $50, right now. Save $30 and score a pair of shoes that are just as good for running errands as they are for walking workouts to help you hit your daily 10,000 steps.

Why do shoppers love it?

If there's one word that comes to mind with these sneakers, it's "flexible". These slip-ons are made to move with you, no matter what kind of movement that may be. Designed with a mesh upper, the sneakers have a super breathable exterior that easily bends, stretches, and moves with your foot. The mesh fabric, most likely a polyester and nylon blend, allows proper airflow throughout the sneaker, ensuring that even when you're sweating and your heart rate is getting up, the temperature in your shoes is not. No overheating or sweaty feet to worry about — which also helps prevent chafing or rubbing on the interior of the shoe. Although lightweight, it's still sturdy and durable enough to keep your foot securely in the shoe, especially with the help of the Skechers exclusive heel pillow. The heel pillow is also important for smooth transitions through each stride. 

Inside the shoe, air-cooled memory foam offers comfort and cushioning, while also keeping the feet cool and dry. That, combined with the lightweight, responsive ULTRA GO cushioning, helps the shoe feel super comfortable while also ensuring that the heels and arches are properly supported. The thick, rubber sole is designed to have flexible traction on a variety of surfaces. You can endure intense workouts or cross training, moving around a lot, and your shoes won't slip or slide regardless of the surface you're training on.
