Amazon has reduced the price of the Skechers Women's Summits 12985 Trainers from £59 to £45.45 in select colourways, ahead of its Prime Day sale. The trainers have garnered over 33,000 customer reviews with an average rating of 4.6 out of five stars, and 78% of reviewers have awarded the maximum five-star rating.
Features and Design
The trainers feature a slip-on build with a bungee laced front, designed for convenience. They are crafted with a lightweight and flexible shock-absorbing midsole for all-day comfort, a flexible rubber traction outsole for grip, and a soft mesh knit upper for breathability—essential for the hottest summer months.
The most affordable options on Amazon are available in classic black and blue, sizes two to nine, including half sizes. However, certain sizes are currently reduced more significantly than others. Amazon's deal surpasses the Skechers website, where the footwear is priced at its full £60.
Customer Reviews
Numerous customers have praised the trainers for their comfort. One reviewer stated: "Best buy ever. I have worked four days straight on a 12-hour shift and I haven't experienced any sore feet. Definitely buying more Skechers for work. I love them." Another declared: "These are the most comfortable trainers I have ever worn. These fit like an absolute dream, like they are personally moulded to your feet, and so easy to get off and on. I will never buy another type again."
A third customer, a nurse, commented: "Absolutely love them. So comfortable. They are light on your feet. I am on my feet for 12-14 hrs a day at work... When I bought my first pair I never thought I would just reorder the same, but now on my third." Another enthused: "These are the comfiest trainers I have ever worn. Usually after wearing trainers all day I like to kick them off and sink into my slippers, but these, I can wear all day!"
Potential Fit Issues
Despite the overwhelming positive feedback, a small number of purchasers reported difficulties in securing the correct fit. One noted: "They come up very small compared with other Skechers trainers that I have." Another observed: "These are very narrow, had to return."
Alternative Options
For alternative choices from other leading footwear brands, New Balance's bestselling option is the 530 Unisex Trainers, priced at £110 and available in three colourways, while shoppers can currently secure 30% off the 327 Trainers reduced to £70. Meanwhile, Nike's most affordable option is the Run Defy Women's Road Running Shoes, which also feature 30% off and are now £38.49, although some sizes have already sold out.
