Women praise trainers ‘as comfortable now as day I first put them on’

Amazon has a number one bestselling pair of trainers up for grabs – and shoppers are calling them comfortable, super lightweight and stylish. The HKR Women’s Slip on Trainers are available for £33.98 and they come in a variety of colours.

Whether it’s pink, black, blue, grey or white, there should be an option for everyone. The shoes also come in sizes 3.5 to 8.

Sometimes getting a comfy trainer at a reasonable price can be difficult, but these seem to do just that. They are designed to have an elastic slip-on closure with a pull-tab, making them easy to put on and take off.

Other features include a knitted upper that feels soft and keeps feet cool and comfortable all day and memory foam insoles, ideal for those who spend a lot of time on their feet. The outsole of the shoe is said to be lightweight and shock absorbing to reduce foot fatigue.

There are some other comfortable trainers on the market, however. At a slightly higher price, for example, there’s the Skechers Grey Relaxed Fit Sport Slip In Shoes for £79 from Next. This popular trainer comes in sizes 3 to 8 and features a ‘mesh bungee-laced upper’ and cushioned memory foam insoles.

For something more affordable, there’s the M&S Lace Up Trainers for £26. These have limited sizes left, but are usually available in 3 to 8 and customers say they fit true to size. They also have ‘innovative Insolia Flex technology’ that ensures the balls of feet are correctly positioned, along with Freshfeet antibacterial technology to help minimise odour.

The HKR trainers have garnered a 4.4 out of five-star rating on Amazon from almost 14,000 reviews though. One person said: “I bought these shoes one-and-a-half years ago (size 6). They are as comfortable now as the day I first put them on. I wear them every day, mostly around the house (I prefer them to slippers), but also outside. Very easy to slip on and a perfect fit. I hope they’re still available when I need another pair!”

Another added: “Feels like walking on air and perfect for walking and exercise!”

A third person wrote: “Fit perfect, so comfortable as I’m on my feet for 12 hours a day, as I’m a care assistant in a care home, the sole cushioning is perfect. Excellent grip, and the fabric allows my feet to breathe. I have bought another pair in white for my holidays.”

A small handful of people rated them three or four stars for a variety of reasons. For example, this person said: “I love these shoes, buy them over and over again, so comfy. The only issue I have, the tread doesn’t have a great grip as I have slipped a few times in wet weather.”

Another added: “I had to give it to my mother who has a wide foot as it was too loose for me. It should be stated that it is a wide fit. Other than that, it’s OK.”
