slipons

Shoes sans laces

Slipons are shoes without laces or buckles, designed to slide onto the foot easily.

The term covers casual canvas sneakers, leather loafers, and dress shoes alike—any footwear you can put on without fastening.

Also spelled slip-ons.

I keep slipons by the door for quick trips outside.
