Sneakers often fall into one of two categories: sporty or fashionable. The former is, of course, meant for breaking a sweat, while the other is better suited for everyday wear. Sure, the two might do very different jobs, but wouldn’t it be way more practical to just have one shoe that does both?
Enter: Concept 3 by Skechers. This line is exclusive to Amazon, and it’s unbelievably affordable — in fact, all styles ring in at under $50. Don’t let that low price spook you into believing these aren’t high-quality: In fact, the sneakers are beloved by podiatrists and Amazon shoppers alike.
“The Concept 3 line offers comfortable options for walking shoes,” Dr. Nelya Lobkova, DPM at Step Up Footcare in New York City, shares with Yahoo Life. “All sneakers have a rubber-type sole with cushioning.”
To Dr. Lobkova, cushioning is crucial. “We lose much of the fat pad that provides natural cushioning as we age,” she says. And a firm heel counter, which many of these sneakers have, will “aid in proper alignment of the foot.”
If you have specific foot issues, take note: “All the pairs in the line have a memory foam insole, which accommodates multiple bony deformities, including bunions, heel spurs and metatarsalgia [when the ball of your foot becomes inflamed], as well as fat-pad atrophy,” Dr. Lobkova adds.
