Skechers make some of the best walking shoes for wide feet, and with Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale, there's hardly a better time to get yourself a pair.

There are multiple Prime Day deals on Skechers, with some of my tried-and-tested favorites discounted by up to $40.

As with many things on Amazon, finding your size can be tricky, and there may not be quite the deal you were looking for in the colorway you wanted, but if you flick through the options, you might get lucky.

Shop all Skechers deals at Amazonor scroll down to see the discounts on the shoes I still wear myself.

You can get either Speed Play colorway with a discount, with several sizes still in stock. There are also significant discounts on other shoes within the max cushioning range, including a whopping 57% off the Hyper Craze.

These discounts only apply while stocks last, so hurry to the checkout while you can.

I've referred to these shoes in the past as part of my Cinderella story. After hitting 30 and promptly developing a bunion, this was the only shoe I had on hand that comfortably accommodated for it.

I can't recommend them enough for their comfort, gentle arch support and, of course, the bunion-friendly wide toe box.

If I haven't convinced you with my selection, remember you can check out all the Skechers deals at Amazon, with some prices slipping under the $20 mark.
