Get the comfiest Skechers shoe I’ve ever tested for less than $80—that’s nearly half price!

Skechers walking shoes are a different breed. Not only are they bouncy and well-cushioned underfoot, but they’re budget-friendly too.

Even at full price, a top-of-the-line Skechers shoe usually comes in under the $150 mark, but they’re regularly discounted.

You can currently get the Aero Spark—my all-time favorite—for up to 47% off the women's shoe and 41% off the men's.

I'm never disappointed by a pair of Skechers. Along with Hoka, it is one of the few brands I know I will love before I open the box.

There’s a tall stack of midsole foam, which gives it its bouncy quality. This is something I look for, because I walk a lot on hard surfaces like asphalt. As a road running shoe, the Aero Spark is more than capable of handling it.

What’s more, the outsole is surprisingly durable. I tend to expect budget-friendly shoes to wear down and scuff pretty quickly, but this one seems to be made of a tougher material than standard.

This puts it on par with shoes closer to the $200 mark for durability.
