Sometimes I feel more like a pack mule than a woman. When the kids were little, I was always schlepping things — diapers bags, grocery bags, my son’s favorite Tonka truck, you name it. Now that I travel solo, I’m the one rolling the carry-on, dragging the personal item and balancing the go-cup of coffee. So being able to slip into shoes without putting down all of my packages is a blessing.
There were no Skechers Hands-Free Slip-Ins when my kids were little. But there are now! And I’m a fan.
Here are the spring sandal designs that I’m looking forward to trying, based on Skechers specs.
