For true hands-free entry

Kizik

Why it's similar. Hands-free step-in sneakers with a heel that compresses as you push in and springs back, on a foam midsole, in wide fittings.

What changes. Built around one entry mechanism, so the range is smaller and has no chunky fashion styles.

ASICS

Why it's similar. A cushioned everyday trainer for all-day walking and errands, offered in extra-wide as well as standard fittings.

What changes. It looks like a running shoe, and there is no hands-free step-in model.

Geox

Why it's similar. A slip-in sneaker with hands-free entry and a thick cushioned sole, so you step in and walk off in comfort.

What changes. Its perforated breathable sole is the focus, and it is now harder to find in the US.

Why it's similar. Cushioned everyday sneakers and walking shoes made in wide widths, worn for comfort through a long day on your feet.

The 5 top picks are editorial starting points, each for a different side of Skechers; their order is an editor's choice, not a ranking or score. Price comparisons use one named category on both sides, the middle half of current full prices in US$, so “lower-priced jeans” is a claim about jeans only. Read the full methodology →
