These are the most convenient and comfortable slip-ons, according to our tests.

After our initial testing period, we will continue to wear the sneakers over the course of six months.

Because they’re so breathable, they won’t keep your feet warm in cold weather.

They’re also so lightweight and breathable that we barely noticed them while walking around.

True to the name, we felt like we were walking on clouds.

The materials feel high-quality, and we’re confident these will last for a long time.

The shoes arent the most breathable and have a slight break-in period.

Unfortunately, the materials arent very breathable, so they may be better suited for cooler seasons.

We wish there was more cushioning and arch support for when you want to walk long distances.

This is a huge perk because these shoes are all about style.

The traction was top notch when we wore them line dancing and salsa dancing on a boat.

The looser heel takes some getting used to.

They feel spacious and provide plenty of cushion for staying on your feet.

Plus, the adjustable laces allow you to tighten these slip-ons as much as you oughta feel secure.

Another bonus: the removable insole is washable.

There is a break-in period that may last a few weeks.

These Naot leather shoes are an investment-worthy pair of slip-ons that boast style and comfort.

That said, the shoes do run true to size even with the longer break-in period.

The leather upper isnt very breathable.

You may need to use your hands to get your foot into the shoe.

The fit runs a little wide, which might be a problem if you prefer narrow shoes.

They aren’t very comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

They are quite a bit pricier than other options on this list, but they look the part.

After wearing these several times, we found that they aren’t the most comfortable sneakers we’ve tried.

They feel a little stiff and similar to a dress shoe without much padding on the inside.

The style is sporty-casual, so these won’t go with dressier attire.

Shoes don’t have to skimp on quality to be affordable, like these Skechers Summits High Range sneakers.

The shoes offer plenty of support and have good traction on dry ground.

We saw no signs of wear after using them almost every day for a couple of weeks.

The top of the mesh fabric bunched a little after a few wears, which didn’t look great.

Keep things light with these slip-on sneakers from Kuru.

Weighing just 11 ounces per shoe, you’ll barely notice them on your feet.

We wore these numerous times in many tweaks, including hiking, walking, and trips to the office.

Considering how lightweight they are, they offer great arch support and traction.

They’re comfortable to wear all day and caused us no blisters, redness, or other foot pain.

The mesh upper also makes them very breathable, which adds to their comfort level.
