Hi there! Good question and one that I've asked myself a lot over the years 😀 Recently I found these shoes by Jambu:https://jambu.com/item/spirit-casual-vegan-sneaker-for-women/16SPT They are called Jambu Spirit and what I love about them is the rubber sole they have which I've found to be practically slip proof and very comfortable (considering!) on concrete sidewalks. Also, they are easy to get on- there are two little loops, one in front and one in back and a velcro side closure. I love them so much that I got two more pairs on sale because I don't want to think about not having them! Hope this helps 😀
