The best comfortable shoe recommendations don’t come from TikTok influencers, or even seasoned travel writers (although there are a few comfort tests more rigorous than travel). They come from podiatrists. But you don’t need to make an appointment to know which brands and styles they’d endorse; the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) lists out the exact shoe silhouettes that meet their rigorous standards, awarding them the APMA Seal of Acceptance for promoting good foot health.
Out of the 111 women’s shoe brands that the APMA recommends, Skechers has the most styles (567, to be exact) bearing the organization’s prestigious seal of approval. One of them happens to be this traveler-loved slip-on sneaker that’s up to 70 percent off during Amazon’s annual Prime Big Deal Days sale.

The highlight of Skechers Go Walk Arch Fit 2.0 Valencia sneakers is their supportive insole, which was developed from 20 years of data chronicling more than 120,000 foot scans. These removable insoles provide a stable platform for your foot, while the built-in Ultra Go foam cushioning offers enough rebound to go the extra mile (literally). The Valencia shoes also have trademarked Heel Pillows that “cradle your ankle” in padding and keep you from sliding out of them while on the go. This thoughtful feature ensures the sneakers are harder to slip out of than into, because the tie-free construction means they just slide on—no effort required.
Everything that counts in a great travel shoe can be found in these Go Walk Arch slip-on sneakers—they’re light, breathable, durable, and versatile. Made primarily of a vegan mesh material, they’re also machine washable, so you can conveniently throw them in with your dirty laundry when you get home from a trip.

One reviewer who says they can walk “for hours upon hours” in these shoes wrote that they hug their arches, don’t rub against their “narrow” ankles, and leave plenty of room for their toes. Another shopper wrote that they were able to walk in them for eight or more hours a day comfortably, with no break-in period. While some people report wearing them out quickly, others say the sneakers are so durable, they haven’t had to buy a new pair of shoes in three years.
Amazon has a variety of colors on sale for up to 70 percent off during Prime Big Deal Days. So, save yourself some money—in both shoes and doctor bills—by trading your uncomfortable fashion sneakers in for these practical, podiatrist-approved Skechers.
