Although we love a good sneaker, there's no saving grace like a slip-on when it comes to getting dressed and out the door fast. Not only are they super convenient, many of them now come with flexible, breathable materials and built-in cushions that keep feet dry, clean, and comfortable for larger tasks and longer missions. But slip-ons don't have to be an eyesore—we tracked down the sleekest designs so nobody will be able to tell that your outfit was rushed.
