YOU by Skechers Women’s Slip-On Shoe

I bought these shoes for a month-long trip in Japan. I knew I was going to be doing a lot of walking and hiking and that I needed something that would be closed - to keep my feet clean - and be easy to take off and put on quickly, because in Japan you are expected to take your shoes off inside peoples' homes and in many temples. They fulfilled their purpose mightily! They were comfortable and fit perfectly right out of the box, and only got better over time. I wore them nearly all day, every day, for a month straight, while climbing ancient stone stairs and traversing wild, winding subway stations and izakaya-filled alleyways. Maybe once or twice in that whole time did my feet become painfully tired. They are easy to take off and put back on, removing any chance for awkwardness when entering or exiting homes and temples. There were a couple of times that they got thoroughly drenched, and they dried very quickly. The color (grey heather) is neutral enough that they go with everything, but interesting enough that they don't look completely boring. Only at the very end of the month did they start to smell like feet. I plan to give them a wash now that I'm back home in the States; I'll edit my review to give an idea of how they hold up in the wash. These are my new favorite walking shoes!EDIT: These shoes went through the wash just fine (don't put shoes in the dryer), and have continued being my go-to walking shoes. I've had them for two years now, wearing them often, and have only just worn a hole in the innermost lining. The outside still looks immaculate, they're still super comfy, and just, great shoes.
