FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

Yes, these shoes are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry them.

Do I need to tie the laces?

The laces are designed to be adjusted once for your desired fit, after which the slip-in construction allows you to take them on and off without touching the laces.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Stretch Fit engineered mesh provides flexibility that accommodates various foot shapes, though sizing availability may vary by region.

Is the material vegan?

Yes, this model is made using synthetic and textile materials that do not contain any animal-derived components.

Can I use these for running?

While they provide great cushioning for walking and daily activities, they are classified as trainers and are not recommended for long-distance or high-intensity running.

How should I clean the white upper?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For deeper cleaning, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle.

Troubleshooting

Heel slipping when walking

Adjust the laces slightly to ensure a secure lockdown, or check if the heel pillow is clean and free of debris.

Insoles feel slippery after washing

Ensure the insoles are completely air-dried before reinserting them into the shoe; residual moisture can cause a slip sensation.

Exterior mesh has minor scuffs

Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to spot-clean the affected area rather than putting the entire shoe through a full wash cycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Skechers Glide-Step Altus sneakers last, follow these guidelines:

  1. Initial Fit: While these feature adjustable laces, the primary design is for a slip-in fit. Adjust the laces once to your preferred tightness and then rely on the slip-in functionality.
  2. Cleaning: These shoes are machine washable. Use a cold, gentle cycle, and always air dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Because these are made of synthetic mesh, avoid leaving them in damp areas where mold or mildew could affect the fabric.
  4. Compatibility: Best paired with casual or athletic attire. Given the white colorway, consider treating them with a fabric protectant spray before initial wear to repel surface stains.
