Whether you’re rushing out the door, managing mobility challenges, or looking for practical everyday comfort, Skechers Slip-ins® make getting ready easier.

How Does the Magic Happen? The Technology Explained
The secret behind the "step in and go" ease of Skechers Hands-Free Slip-ins® lies in a few key design innovations working together:
- An Exclusive Molded Heel Panel: This shape-retaining panel is the key to hands-free entry. Its structured design keeps the heel upright and open as you step in, acting like a built-in shoehorn that guides your foot smoothly into place. Once your foot is inside, the panel helps the shoe return to its supportive shape, so you can enjoy the convenience of Skechers Slip ins without using your hands.
- Our Exclusive Heel Pillow™: Once your foot is in, the Heel Pillow™ gets to work. It’s a soft but secure cushion at the back of the shoe that snugs against your heel, locking it comfortably in place to prevent any unwanted slipping. This ensures a secure fit with every confident step.
- A Foundation of Comfort & Support: Of course, it’s still a Skechers shoe. That means the effortless entry is built on a foundation of our proven comfort technologies. Depending on the style, you’ll find our patented Arch Fit® podiatrist-certified support system, responsive Max Cushioning®, and other signature innovations.
It’s this thoughtful combination of features that makes the hands-free experience so smooth and reliable.
