These shoes at first appeared to be slip-in shoes. They are NOT slip-in. I have to tug on the loop at the top of the heel to get it on. I did not use these shoes when I first received them. Now, 6 months later, I have discovered that I can not get them on easily. I am in my 70s and bought these so I could slip them on quickly, and not have to sit down or bend over to get them on. What a disappointment. When I shopped for them online, I searched for slip-on/slip-in shoes, and they popped up in that category. It appears that Sketchers Go Walk 7 shoes are slip-ins, but that is not the case. I have only worn these shoes a couple of times, and won't wear them again. I will be buying a shoe brand that is a guaranteed hands free slip-in shoe.
