Skechers are classics when it come to functional, yet fashionable sneakers, but they can get expensive. That's why when we spotted the Skechers D'Lites, one of the brand's most popular sneakers, on sale at Amazon, we had to spread the news. Starting at just $49, the D'Lites will keep your feet comfy and supported even after a long day on your feet. Don't believe us? Ask the the nearly 40,000 reviewers who gave these sneaks five stars.

When you think of your beloved pair of Skechers from the '90s, D'Lites likely come to mind, but the latest version of these iconic shoes has a new and modern feature — memory foam. The insoles are fitted with the cushiony material to better absorb shock with each step, resulting in optimal comfort as you go about your day. The midsoles are also made thicker to better absorb impact as you walk, and the sneakers even come with a 1 1/4-inch heel to give you some extra height.

Right now, you can find them in 39 different colors, with several neutrals and patterned designs on offer. All options also feature a leather and synthetic overlay to add texture and pops of color to the sneaks. Also available in wide and extra wide sizes.

Reviewers have been raving about these classics, especially those in professions that require them to be on their feet all day.

"As a nurse working 12-hour shifts, these are the ONLY shoes (and I have had expensive brands) where my feet don't hurt after a busy night," one happy reviewer says. "I think it's a combination of the thick memory foam insole and the structured construction of this shoe...If your job requires you to be on your feet for multiple hours I recommend that you try these!

Another adds, "I LOVE these shoes and I will SWEAR BY THEM! I wear them through 12-hour shifts (as a CNA at work and as a student nurse at clinicals) and they still look and feel awesome. They’re very comfortable. My feet rarely hurt after a long shift."

"I love the arch support and the cushioning is excellent," a third chimes in. "I’m a teacher, so I stand and walk around a classroom all day (or did before schools closed down), and with these shoes my feet didn’t hurt at the end of the day."

Sizes and colors are already selling out, so grab a pair before it's too late!
