I’ll admit it: while I know it’s bad for the shoe (and even worse for my foot health), I’m notoriously bad at tying and untying my sneakers. I’ll try to be diligent in those first few weeks after unboxing them, but I always eventually end up wriggling my foot into and out of my shoes without ever touching the laces. I used to think I was the only one who bypassed this rather necessary step. However almost all of my personal training clients have copped to the same behavior. Some have even confessed that lacing up their kicks is a barrier to hitting the gym at all.
Skechers has solved this universal problem with their Slip-ins line of active footwear. No need to tighten and loosen any annoying shoelaces — just slide your feet into a pair, and you’re ready to go. Can a “slip-in” sneaker design properly support your foot through a workout, though and how do they compare to the best cross-training shoes on the market? I decided to put the Skechers Slip-ins Ultra Flex 3.0 Brilliant Path to the test. Read my full review to find out more.
