How do Skechers Slip-ins work?

That’s why Skechers created their exclusive heel pillow to securely hold your foot in place. The shoes are also easy to take off. Using one foot for leverage, you can easily step down on the heel of the shoe and slide your foot straight out, facilitating ease-of-use for almost everybody.
