Skechers GOwalk Slip-on Shoe (TSV on 7/20): SO COMFY

I just received these Skechers, ordered from my InsideQ, and I desperately wanted to review them on the website because they are so comfortable! But there's no option to review them yet, so here I am.

I probably return one-half to two-thirds of the shoes I buy on QVC because they are uncomfortable for some reason. However, these are a dream.

First, they are incredibly light: 4 oz. So it barely feels like you're wearing shoes.

Second, the outer sole is incredibly springy, cushy, and comfortable. It's flexible, but still supportive.

Third, there is nothing on the insides of the shoes that scratches, pricks, rubs, etc. This is the #1 reason I end up returning shoes, and these are soft and well-fitting on the interior.

Fourth, the inner sole is also cushy and comfortable, yet supportive. Even though they're very light in weight, the soles are very unique because they are still supportive.

Fifth, they're slip-ons. Best of all, they're slip-ons that don't require you to reach down and use your finger to slide your heel in. They're sturdy enough, while still being soft, that you can slip your foot fully in the shoe without having to bend over. This is a big gripe of mine with slip-ons, and it usually seems the cutest shoes are the least likely to be accommodating in this way. These hit the jackpot, though, because they're cute and slip right on.

Sixth, the interior is a sockliner made with "Antimicrobial OrthoLite" to inhibit odor and stop slippage. So no socks are necessary, and they're truly comfy without socks. There's a suede trim at the toe and back, and contrasting stitching at the vamp and back.

Seventh, they're CUTE. They have a muted, flannel fabric look, and a simple, modern shape. You could wear them to work-out (free-weights or low-impact, I'd say), walk, or for everyday use. Maybe, just maybe, the black ones would be ok at a business casual office with long pants, if the emphasis was a little more on casual than business. But they'd certainly be fine for most business's casual Fridays.

I ordered them in gray, and they are so comfortable that I am now ordering them in black and denim. They're also available in purple. Each color has a bright contrasting interior, which isn't visible when you're wearing the shoe. You can check them out on Skechers' website: http://www.skechers.com/style/13510/skechers-gowalk/gry. However, the QVC TSV is offering them for only $39.98, much less expensive, so wait till 7/20. Also, the gray offered by QVC is different than the gray on the Skechers site. The QVC gray is a medium-to-dark charcoal gray rather than the very light gray on Skechers' site. It also doesn't look like Skechers offers the denim that QVC will have.

I think these will sell-out when they air. It might be worth buying an InsideQ membership just to get these shoes so you're sure to get your color and size.

They fit true-to-size. I unfortunately wear a 9.75, which doesn't exist, so I usually try 9.5 and 10 to see which is better. I tried a 10 here, and even though they're roomy, they don't slip off my heel. I'm trying the 9.5, too, in addition to the 10 with my new orders.

InsideQ #: A228285. They'll be A226081 on 7/20.
