Nurses and podiatrists say these shoes have great support ā€” they're down to $24

The sock-like slip-ons make you feel like you're 'walking on air' even if you have foot pain, fans say.

If you're on your feet all day, you know the importance of having comfortable shoes. Sure, there's no shortage of kicks advertising stellar support and impressive shock absorption, but how many of them deliver? Lucky for your overworked tootsies, Yhoon Women's Walking Shoes perform as advertised, fans say ā€” and they're marked down to as little as $24, a fab 40% discount.

These comfortable, breathable shoes slip on like socks, making them ideal for puttering around the house, running errands ā€” and even going through airport security!

$24 at Amazon

Why is this a good deal? ??

Even reasonably priced brands like Skechers offer their similarly stretchy slip-on walking shoes for upwards of $50. Comparatively, as little as $24 is a bargain, especially for shoes sure to carry you comfortably through the rest of summer, fall and beyond.

Why do I need these? ??

These sock-like sneaks have lightweight woven uppers and are stretchy enough to be slipped on and off without requiring you to fiddle around with laces, garnering thousands of positive reviews from shoppers who walk a lot.

Doctors love the Yhoon walking shoes, too. Board-certified podiatrist Dr. Polina Zaydenberg says the sole offers excellent shock absorption. "The platform is great for heel pain and metatarsalgia [pain in the ball of the foot]," she tells Yahoo. Zaydenberg also raves about the accommodative toe box ā€” a must if you have bunions and hammertoes.

And ā€” they're super cute! Choose from 13 colors, including black, gray, navy and purple, in women's sizes 5.5 to 10.5.

What reviewers say ??

Many of the 11,000-plus five-star Amazon reviewers ā€” including nurses, teachers and other on-their-feet workers ā€” say they feel like they're walking on air with these cozy kicks.

Pros ??

The cushioned construction earned praise from a nursing student who wrote, "These shoes are the best sneakers I have ever worn! I started out nursing school wearing clogs ... and my feet would kill me after wearing them for just three hours. I bought these because it said they were super-cushioned and make your feet feel supported, and they definitely do just that. Best purchase I have made for nursing school."

"I've purchased multiple pairs of these and wear them until they're worn out! I'm a nurse and am on my feet all day. These have great support and are very comfortable," wrote another devotee.

"I work for a hotel, so there is a lot of back and forth going on. No longer do I come home in pain. My feet and back donā€™t hurt anymore," wrote a third five-star reviewer.

"Goodness gracious. I finally found shoes that I can wear all day and not hurt my feet," another relieved shopper said. "I have bunions, and it makes it so hard to find shoes that don't hurt. I work at a hospital and have to walk a lot, up and down stairs all day long ... [Yhoon sneakers] literally feel like walking on air."

A final fan called the sneakers the "most comfortable shoes I've ever bought," raving, "I have problems with my feet and even in the most comfortable and expensive shoes, I still am not pain-free by the middle of the day. I wore these for 10 days walking and trudging up hills in Europe, and my feet never hurt!"

Cons ??

Some wearers wish the shoes had more cushioning inside for additional comfort: "Just needs a little more padding inside, but other than that, I like them," said one. Another reviewer agreed, adding, "Could have better padding ā€” the insole can be removed for more space."

Others noted that these shoes aren't totally hands-free. "I thought they'd be easy to slide my feet into since there are no laces to tie, but the material is soft, so I can't just slip them on without using my hands," observed an Amazon customer. "And the rubber sole is a much harder plastic than most tennis shoes I've had in the past. But [the sneakers] are relatively comfortable."

With an air cushion sole, these sneaks are great for people who walk alllllll day, shoppers say.
