Well Ray, I will honestly tell you that as much as I’ve always promoted these Skechers Slip-ins, I have never once actually been able to just step into them! I’ve always still needed as much snugness as possible along the upper foot near ankle. Perhaps they should be called pull-ons, because even though you don’t have to tie any laces, I have to use my finger as a shoe horn 🤪

Hi, Debbie.
The truth will out. I did try putting my unwounded foot in one of the Slip-Ins, and you're right: I had to use my fingers like a shoehorn. But that's okay. I, too, need the snugness. My problem with anything like slippers is that my heel always pops out, resulting in yet another trip hazard.
So, on we go, hoping not to tumble! 🙂

Debbie, are you able to walk shoeless? I am shaking my head considering how you, @ray666, and I all suffer with PN but are either able or made to manage our footwear in such different ways.
I would in no way be able to walk a step without shoes ~ and require extra support and inside cushioning plus a really roomy fit. Been wanting to go try some Skecher Slip-ins all summer and just haven't made the effort because it IS such an effort. I wear Skecher mules all the time in the house as slippers, and my Sauconys & Brooks stay tied at all times for out-of-home trips. They are Wide and a size and a half too big but need to be, as I just cannot abide pressure on my feet. Tripping is always a hazard. Such a dilemma but no wonder trying on shoes (for me) is the lowest of the low in shopping expeditions.
Glad you had some time in Colorado. Those altitudes do make the rest of us pay attention (but I love it)!
All the best to you!
