We found this Prime Day deal on these podiatrist-approved slip-on sneakers for 50% off

I'm all about taking things as they come, rolling with life's punches, being flexible and open to compromise in most things, but comfortable footwear is a non-negotiable. So how happy am I to have discovered the slip-on stars of the season? Easy Spirit Traveltime Mules are the kind of shoes that make you wonder why you ever wore anything else. With their backless design, plush cushioning, classic look and a grippy sole that can handle everything from multi-thousand-step vacation days to last-minute errands, these kicks are made for hectic times and downtime kicking-back. Speaking of kicking back: With discounts of up to 50% for Prime Day, now's the perfect time to treat yourself.

Why is this a good Prime Day deal? 💰

We recommend these shoes even when they are full price (they made our list for Best Slip-On Sneakers for 2025 after all), but now that they are up to 50% off, it's really time to pounce. Prices vary by size and color, most sizes of the black version are down to just $35 — which according to our price trackers is the lowest price these backless shoes have been since 2018!

Why do I need this? 🤔

The sporty kicks feature a flexible outsole and a cushioned insole for added comfort, plus the backless design makes them a breeze to put on and take off. Dr. Hillary Brenner, a podiatric surgeon, is a fan because "the treads on the bottom of the shoe are sturdy, the material on the top of the shoe is soft and they have a wide chunky heel."

Dr. Polina Zaydenberg, who is board-certified by the American Board of Multiple Specialties in Podiatry in the Prevention and Treatment of Diabetic Foot Wounds and in Diabetic Footwear, also recommeds the brand because "These all have an accommodative toe box, plus they’re great for those with metatarsalgia, splayfoot and those suffering from heel pain," she said. "I’d recommend them for those with flat feet, as well.”

The lightweight slip-ons are available in four styles and come in regular, narrow, wide and extra-wide sizes. Bonus: the insole is removable, so you can easily slip in your own custom orthotic for an even more personalized fit.

What reviewers say 💬

Hundreds of shoppers have raved the durability and support of these slip-ons, both indoors and out.

Pros 👍

"These are my favorite shoes lately," gushed one fan. "They’re not only comfortable, but if you are like me and go barefoot in the house and need to take the dog outside or run to the mailbox, these protect your feet and couldn’t be easier to get in and out of when you need to head out quickly when you’re in a hurry. I have them in black, white and tan."

One reviewer reported the slip-ons are the only shoes that didn't hurt her heels when breaking them in. "I've had them for two weeks and I have been putting them on in the afternoons around the house to stretch them as they run narrow. It took me a couple of days to really realize my heels don’t hurt when I walk around the house in them. I don’t remember ever feeling like this when I put on a pair of shoes! Definitely buying more," she said.

A third wrote, "I had a pair for many years and really wore them out, wearing them all the time. I think of them as slippers, but I can wear them out of the house because they look like shoes. I finally bought a new pair and was surprised at how much the old ones had stretched. I love the feel of the newness and good fit."

Cons 👎

Some owners mentioned that the backless sneakers can run small. "Comfortable even though slightly narrow at the toe, easy to put on and take off, attractive, and easy to walk in," wrote one.

Another agreed and recommended sizing up. "My doctors advised me to get a slightly larger size in order to stop my big toe from hurting so much. And, although they are about a 1/8th of an inch too loose, I can still be pain-free while I'm walking!"
