When it comes to getting out the door in a hurry, nothing beats having a pair of shoes you can simply slip on. (Thank you, Crocs and flip-flops!) Who hasn’t crushed the back of their tennis shoes — and completely degraded the integrity of the heel — to make the on-off process a little easier?

There’s a reason why parents gravitate toward slip-on shoes for kids. Lacing up shoes takes a few minutes — and sometimes you’re already running late.

Well, Under Armour shoes has taken notice and come out with a unique shoe that’s making a big splash. The UA SlipSpeed is a training shoe that works as a hybrid, taking you from performance training mode to recovery in a matter of seconds, thanks to its nifty — and wildly innovative — convertible heel.

Basically, the brand is targeting people in a hurry or who can’t be bothered to tie their shoes. Either way, we’re game.

These shoes solve a problem you maybe didn’t realize you had. It’s all in the way the heel folds down. The soft, flexible material folds as the foot slides in and then pops right back up to keep the shoe in place while working out. Or, if you’d prefer to wear them as slides post-workout, you can do that too.

These versatile $150 Under Armour shoes come equipped with the BOA wheel tightening cable system, eliminating the need to lace up. To keep them clean, simply toss them in the washing machine.

If these Under Armour shoes aren’t in your budget and you’re looking for a less expensive slip-on-type sneaker, you’re in luck. Several are available on Amazon.

Reviewer Susan M. is on her second pair and plans to buy more. She says, “There is zero breaking in time. They are like wearing your favorite pair of slippers right away. They do have good support for me, but they are not strictly firm. I actually love the support of this sneaker because it gently supports me while not being too stiff. Honestly, if I could … I’d wear them 24/7.”
