Just to clarify, Skechers used to make slip-ons only, but then began making slip-ins also. The difference is that the newer design slip-ins have a higher and stiffer heal that makes it easier to slip into the shoes completely hands free. I personally don’t like the slip-ins as I find the newer design to be much less comfortable. The slip-ons are a little harder to slip into and sometimes the heal folds down when attempting to slip into them, requiring bending over so you can slip a finger between the back of the shoe and your heal. For me, the added comfort of the slip-ons is well worth the slightly greater effort sometimes required to put on the shoe. I guess it’s a matter of personal opinion?
