Teachers and hairstylists rave about these comfy slip-on sneakers — and they're 50% off

Cushioning, durability and style — these shoes have the winning combination for stepping out in comfort.

Everyone should have a good pair of comfy sneakers that they feel good in, whether they're standing in front of a whiteboard or dashing to the gate at the airport. Finding a set at the right price? That should be easier than getting past the TSA, but it's not always the case. Well, we've found a pair of cushy slip-ons from Amazon — the White Mountain Courage Sneaker — for just $30 (down from $59). That's 50% off.

With a breathable and stretchy knit upper and a cushioned footbed, this shoe will have you bouncing from errand to errand like you're floating on air.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

Similar slip-ons from big brands can cost $75 (sometimes more!). Snagging a good pair for under $50 is almost unheard of and at $30? That's a must-buy in our book.

Why do I need this? 🧐

If you haven't given up your shoes with laces yet, we highly recommend it. Not having to take that extra step to get out the door has that feeling of freedom all shoes should come with, like the White Mountain Courage Sneaker. The stretchy knit upper lets you slide your feet in and kick them off with ease — if you're headed to far-off destinations, that's just what you need to get through airport security.

But shoes are only as good as the comfort they provide. Our feet are, after all, responsible for carrying the entire weight of our bodies — shoes need to support that load and these babies are more than up for the task. They have a cushioned footbed, flexible sole and reliable traction we all need when we're walking or standing anywhere.

What reviewers say 💬

Teachers and hairstylists rave about how comfy these sneakers are.

Pros 👍

"As a teacher, I'm on my feet most of the day," shared a jet-setting educator. "I'd compare them to Toms or Bobs, but these are actually breathable and stretchy which makes them way more comfortable. I wear them 4 to 5 days a week to work where I stand on hard tile floors. Wore them while walking miles on the Vegas strip while sightseeing. And I always wear them when I fly because they are easy to slip on and off. The support, comfort level and style really make them a perfect shoe."

"My second pair of these!" another instructor wrote. "I’m a teacher and on my feet all day. These are so comfortable! They also go with everything."

"These are the most comfortable sneakers," shared a hairstylist. "I work on my feet cutting hair all day and the arch support is amazing. I can wear these all day ... nothing hurts. If you’re on the fence about giving them a try, you won’t be sorry you did."

Cons 👎

Some shoppers say the fit might not be exactly what you expected.

"These shoes are so comfortable, I can wear them all day without rushing to remove them when I get home," shared a shopper. "My only comment is that they are a little loose but do not come in half sizes, so I just wear socks."

Another five-star reviewer wrote: "The only problem is my feet tend to slightly slip out when I walk."
