Nurses and podiatrists say these shoes have great support — they're down to $25

There's no shortage of sneakers that promise stellar support and impressive shock absorption, but how many of them actually deliver? Especially in the easy-peasy slip-on style. Lucky for your overworked tootsies, Yhoon Women's Walking Shoes perform as advertised, fans say — and they're marked down to as little as $25, a nearly 40% discount ahead of Labor Day.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

Even reasonably priced brands like Skechers offer their similarly stretchy slip-on walking shoes for upwards of $50. Comparatively, as little as $25 is a bargain, especially for shoes sure to carry you comfortably through the rest of summer and into fall.

Why do I need these? 🤔

These sock-like sneaks have lightweight woven uppers and are stretchy enough to be slipped on and off without requiring you to fiddle around with laces, garnering thousands of positive reviews from shoppers who walk a lot.

Doctors love the Yhoon walking shoes too. Board-certified podiatrist Dr. Polina Zaydenberg says the sole offers excellent shock absorption. "The platform is great for heel pain and metatarsalgia [pain in the ball of the foot]," she tells Yahoo. Zaydenberg also raves about the accommodative toe box — a must if you have bunions and hammertoes.

And — they're super cute! Choose from 13 colors, including black, gray, navy and purple, in women's sizes 5.5 to 10.5.

What reviewers say 💬

Many of the nearly 12,000 five-star Amazon reviewers — including nurses, teachers and other on-their-feet workers — say they feel like they're walking on air with these cozy kicks.

Pros 👍

The cushioned construction earned praise from a nurse, who wrote, "I’ve purchased multiple pairs of these and wear them until they’re worn out! I’m a nurse and am on my feet all day. These have great support and are very comfortable."

"I've purchased multiple pairs of these and wear them until they're worn out! I'm a nurse and am on my feet all day. These have great support and are very comfortable," wrote another devotee.

"If you’re a nurse, LPN, CNA, etc and you’re doing a lot of rounds, these shoes are awesome," wrote a third five-star reviewer. "Super lightweight but also very supportive. My feet don’t hurt at all after work. And they aren’t ugly for comfy shoes either. However, their platforms are pretty tall. You can possibly twist your ankle pretty good if you aren’t sure-footed."

A final fan called the sneakers the "most comfortable shoes I've ever bought," raving, "I have problems with my feet and even in the most comfortable and expensive shoes, I still am not pain-free by the middle of the day. I wore these for 10 days walking and trudging up hills in Europe, and my feet never hurt!"

Cons 👎

Some wearers wish the shoes had more cushioning inside for additional comfort: "Just needs a little more padding inside, but other than that, I like them," said one. Another reviewer agreed, adding, "Could have better padding — the insole can be removed for more space."

Others noted that these shoes aren't totally hands-free. "I thought they'd be easy to slide my feet into since there are no laces to tie, but the material is soft, so I can't just slip them on without using my hands," observed a customer. "And the rubber sole is a much harder plastic than most tennis shoes I've had in the past. But [the sneakers] are relatively comfortable."
