Consider this permission to take the long route. When the weather forecast calls for boots but your comfort level is seated squarely in sneaks, Skechers' On-the-GO Joy Elena offers a welcomed hybrid. The cuteness of a casual cold-weather boot (eye spy the cozy faux-fur lining) + the cushioned sole of a sneaker = expectations, exceeded. Hit the pavement, country road, or weekend wanderings in sueded warmth, taking in the scenic route or extra steps whenever possible. (Don't worry about a few sprinkles or snowflakes -- the water-repellent leather's got you covered!)

Slip in or zip in -- it's your choice. Skechers' hands-free Slip-ins technology makes slipping them on a breeze, while the unique Heel Pillow holds your foot securely in place until you decide to slip them off. Or, if you want a little more wiggle room, a functional side zipper allows for a wider opening. So, don that chunky sweater and tuck in those leggings or fan out those flared jeans -- and take the long way 'round. From Skechers.
