As someone lacking limbs and has to manage the bending business I am curious about the slip ins. I might try them if I like the design.
 
My husband has very limited mobility, has so much trouble bending down to pull on his shoes. He had a knee replacement last week, and will have the other one done later in the year. I finally managed to persuade him to try the slip ins, ( he’s always reluctant to try anything new!) and he is amazed at how much he likes them, and how easy it is to slip them on and off. Even the physiotherapist recommended them. We’re lucky as we have a Pavers near to us, and they have a large selection of Sketchers at very reasonable prices .

Same here . I had 2 knee replacements last year and the slip ins are brilliant. Tell him the pain is worth it but to do the exercises if he is able.
 
Anyone know if it’s best to go for your usual Skechers size with the Slip-Ins? I tend to be a 7 in other footwear but nearly always a 6.5 in Skechers so I stick with that. I haven’t had any Slip-Ins, though. The reviews on Q don’t help (and I note they are mostly negative, which surprises me, especially as on Amazon, people love them).
 
He’s managing quite well so far with the exercises, early days yet! He went with his normal size with the slip ins, but I find I have to go down a size with the normal Sketchers, although I haven’t tried the slip ins. That’s the one problem with Sketchers, sizes can vary.

Andi I've gone for the same size in slip ins as in other skechers and they seem about the same. I'm still not sure I like them though. I got the lace up ones recently and they were a bit loose as they arrived so I tightened the laces for a more secure fit. This is great but makes them more difficult to 'slip in'. I have one of the first pairs they did, just plain which I keep near the door for popping on to go to the shop over the road or out to the car, but I like to have a bit more support when walking any distance. For anyone who just likes slip on shoes they are ideal as the heel no longer gets squashed putting them on.

That’s really helpful, thank you, and thanks for the extra detail.
 
I bought some slip-ins for the ex for Christmas last year but ordered them direct from Skechers as I had a discount voucher to use. He’s usually a size 9 but he asked for size 8.5. Thankfully they’re a perfect fit which meant I didn’t have the hassle of having to return them.

I am a small size 4 and tried on the 37 (equivalent size) in a shop and they were a perfect fit.
 
I've just had a quick look and these ones come with laces, obviously, as they are trainers. There's another style without the laces and those are slip in shoes.

I have some slip-ins. My sizing for Skechers is all over the place, but I bought my 'normal' size for trainers which is 6.5. I am actually a 7, to 7.5. They fit well, but I do feel there is more 'slip' when I walk, and not as good a fit as my Skechers with laces which you can tighten up for a better fit. But I would think if you had mobility problems they would be a lot easier to get on. At times I have also inserted memory foam inserts, just to get a better fit.

Mr CC bought some shoe slip ins from Skechers and they clearly don't suit everyone as he can't just "slip" his feet into them. The backs are all broken down with him trying to get them on from standing up and he still has to use his long handled shoe horn to get his feet into them. It's a good idea but not suitable for all feet shapes.

I've been reading about the controversy surrounding Skechers slip ins being potentially bad for your back, hips & feet and not sure about ordering these. I've got one pair of slip ins which are very comfortable but it's no good me buying any more if in the long term they affect my back and dodgy hip (one hip was replaced 2 years ago). They say that as there's memory foam in them, this wears down after a while like it would a mattress and is then bad for your gait, hips etc long term as you start walking incorrectly. There were more negatives than just these, apparently from podiatrists. Any thoughts anybody plse?
 
I love the Go Walk style (can't be faffed with laces) and I would be tempted with these, BUT I see there is a high rise heel so I'm passing. I had a pair 2 years ago and I went over on my ankle and fell over. I got rid to my sister in law. I only buy those now closer to the ground. Lovely colours though.
