Shoppers who bought the Skechers knitted trainers said they were also perfect for “post-surgery”
January’s sales are slashing prices to help shoppers stay on budget, and if you’re on the hunt for a pair of comfy trainers that are easy on the knees and back, Debenhams’ sale might just have the perfect find. The Skechers Ultra Flex 3.0 Smooth Slip-ins Knitted Trainers are currently up for grabs at a jaw-dropping 40% off—now only £53.40, down from their usual £89.
These sought-after trainers are tagged as “in demand” on the Marks and Spencer website, where they are priced at £59, boast a slip-on style and flexible stretch knit that wearers say literally “hug your feet”. They’re also built for extensive wear with a Comfort Pillow in the heel and an Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole ensuring both support and breezy comfort.
Offered in classic black and available sizes from UK3 to UK8, these trainers are flying off the shelves, as Belfast Live reports. Raking in an impressive 4.8-star average score from 1,300 reviews, it’s no wonder shoppers are raving about them, with heaps of praise like being “like walking on clouds” and a godsend post-surgery.

One particularly thrilled shopper effused: “Like walking on clouds. Thrilled with these. Super comfortable; I already know the second I’ve worn them out, I’ll replace them again and again and again.”
A second customer shared: “I knew I would have difficulty getting shoes on after surgery and actually bought them to wear inside the house as slippers. They were perfect for the job particularly in the early period when putting stress on my knee was difficult – being able to just slide the foot in was perfect. Extremely comfortable and now seven weeks in they have hardly been off my feet.”
Another enthused: “Went to Thailand and brought these shoes to wear and they never let me down. Walked up stairs, pathways, outdoor markets and restaurants – they held up perfectly during my 21-hour flight through Istanbul and my feet were comfortable”.
Yet another satisfied buyer exclaimed: “It’s like walking on air! Have to be careful with my footwear and someone kindly gifted me these for Christmas. I am very pleased.”
However, not all feedback was glowing; one reviewer pointed out: “I had a hard time getting them on. Top part kept tucking in.”
And another Debenhams shopper highlighted a small gripe: “Lovely shoe, pity it doesn’t come in half size.”
For those looking to snag a deal, Skechers Ultra Flex 3.0 Smooth Slip-ins Knitted Trainers are up for grabs in the Debenhams sale.
