Slip on models eliminate those features that make putting on shoes an extra chore on your already packed to-do list. No laces, no zippers, no straps. You just slide your feet into the shoes and you're good to go. And you don't even need to bend down to put them on. I can slide into my slip ons at the same time as I'm putting on my coat. And for a busy mum getting to save a few seconds here and there sure adds up at the end of the day.

The great thing is retro never goes out of style!
