If you needed a restaurant recommendation, you would ask your friend who regularly dines out. So when you need to find shoes that are comfortable, you go to the people who spend their entire day on their feet. They know which shoes have the most cushiony insoles, best arch support, and stand up to 10,000-plus steps. And according to nurses who work 12-hour shifts, there’s one sneaker whose comfort is unparalleled.
Skechers’ Go Walk Joy sneakers are Amazon’s best-selling walking shoe and a favorite amongst nurses, thanks to its pairing of a breathable mesh exterior with a responsive insole. These shoes keep each step cool and comfortable. And right now, the slip-on sneakers that boast more than 61,300 five-star ratings are up to 59 percent off at Amazon ahead of the retailer’s Prime Big Deal Days.

These Skechers, available in 21 colors, are designed with ease in mind. The shoes are laceless, offering an easy, slip-on, mesh design that can be stretched to each wearer’s foot and are machine washable. For people who wear their sneakers day-in and day-out, being able to throw dirty (perhaps stinky) shoes in the washer is a must. “When they get dirty [I] just toss them in the washing machine and they're good as new,” wrote one fan, while another person noted that they’ve noticed no fading or shrinking when washing the shopper-favorite style. “I've washed them and they don't fade or shrink,” wrote one fan.

The insoles provide breathability and rebound cushioning as well as a responsive, cushioned midsole. “I feel like I'm walking on a soft, spongy cloud,” raved one shopper. One nurse with rheumatoid arthritis wrote that their feet “hurt most of the time,” but these shoes are “so comfortable even after a 12-hour shift.” Another nurse wrote that they can wear them “all day without [their] feet, hips, or back hurting at all.” Others raved that they require “zero break-in time,” writing that “they come so soft” right out of the box.
