“I tell our players to never get too comfortable mentally, but after standing on NFL sidelines for more than 30 years I can very much appreciate being able to kick off—or slip in—to my shoes comfortably,” said Andy Reid. “Skechers knows comfort better than anyone and these Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins are the best thing to ever happen in footwear! Who has time to worry about tying laces when we have games to win!”

“Coaching championship-caliber teams takes everything you’ve got, so anyone will understand exactly why Coach Reid appreciates the comfort and ease of Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “Only Skechers has the signature hands-free technology to help one of the most recognizable and successful active coaches in the league stay comfortable during downtime—so he’s always ready to go hands free. Plus, our innovative Skechers Slip-ins collection is perfect for fans—just step in and head to the tailgate.”
