Our verdict
Long walks enthusiasts couldn't help but express their admiration for the Propet TravelActiv Slip-on because of its comfort and sufficient arch support. However, the upper did not sit well with other wearers. For them, its fabric looks cheap and is excessively soft. Despite the grievances, the flaws failed to outnumber the many remarkable characteristics this walking footwear has.

Abrasion-resistant sole unit
A single unit of EVA foam serves as the outsole and midsole of the Propet TravelActiv Slip-on. The TravelTek EVA outsole is durable and withstands abrasion from walking on rough surfaces.
It is also lightweight and sports a low-profile construction. The shoe is also flexible and allows the foot to move naturally. The diamond and wavy tread patterns provide a multi-directional grip on ground surfaces.
Same brand only
Aside from the TravelTek EVA foam, a removable cushioned EVA insole also provides shock attenuation to the Propet TravelActiv Slip-on. This element comfortably soft and can easily be replaced with custom orthotics if the need arises.
The Propet TravelActiv Slip-on's upper
An engineered nylon mesh provides a protective foot cover to the Propet TravelActiv Slip-on. This soft material facilitates movement. It is also breathable enough to keep the foot chamber cool. Inside, the nylon mesh lining delivers a smooth in-shoe experience.
The toe box shield
A polyurethane (PU) overlay protects the toe box from abrasion. The same material creates an external heel counter at the back and keeps the rearfoot locked in place, thus preventing accidental shoe removal while walking.
Propet TravelActiv Slip-on
There are no laces or straps on this shoe, but there is a stretchy gore at the instep. This component not only makes it easy for the foot to slip in or out, but it also keeps the fit snug.
