Workers who spend long periods of time on their feet have been raving over a pair of Skechers that provide “the best support”.
The beloved footwear firm’s Uno Shimmer Away Lace Up Platform Trainers are a popular choice for both comfort and style. Right now, thanks to high street retailer M&S, you can bag a pair for 20 percent less.
Usually retailing at £79, the discount has reduced the price to just £63.20, but you can only shop the deal online. Considering the same trainers are at full-price on the Skechers website, this is one deal you won’t want to miss.

For extra comfort, these trainers boast a wedge-style heel that is complete with an air-cooled memory foam insole to cushion your feet. The midsole also features visible airbags that help to give the wearer a bit of a ‘lift’, making them seem taller.
Although there are laces, they are designed in a non-tie fit, meaning you don’t have to tie them up with each wear. The metallic trim at the back of the heel provides a “stylish” effect to the otherwise casual design.
Available in sizes four to eight, M&S’ discount is available across all three colours – natural, white and black. Like many Skechers, you can style them anyway, whether that be with leggings and a jumper for dog walking, or with a nice pair of jeans or a skirt for something fancier.
On the M&S website alone, the Uno Shimmer Away Lace Up Trainers have earned a rather impressive 4.5 rating based on multiple reviews that say they are “really comfortable” and can be worn “straight away.”
A happy customer wrote: “I wear these for work and I am on my feet all day. They are the best for support and not having painful feet at the end of a long day.”
A second five-star review read: “Fabulous trainers, really comfortable, put them on and walked 5 miles without my feet hurting! The laces are elasticated so they’re really slip on (you could change the laces if wanted).”
Someone else remarked: “Fantastic shoes! So comfortable I could wear them straight away and such a pretty pale colour.”
While someone else said: “I love the quality of sketchers trainers, now I don’t consider any other brands.”
Although they are advertised as lace-up, it is worth mentioning that the non-tie lace detail makes them more of a slip-on style. This was a point of concern for one customer who wrote: “Loved the colour but was so disappointed that they are slip on, in the description it states they are LACE UP so I returned.”
