Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step Altus is an ideal choice for active adults seeking a blend of convenience and comfort, specifically designed for those who value easy entry and a responsive gait. Its core strength lies in the hands-free slip-on technology and the geometric midsole that enhances natural momentum, though users should note that the mesh upper, while breathable, may require specific care to maintain its structural integrity over time.

FAQs
Are these shoes actually hands-free?
Yes, they feature a specialized heel pillow and structural design that allows you to slide your foot in without needing to use your hands.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, you should never put Skechers in a dryer as the heat can damage the memory foam and the mesh structural adhesives. Air dry only.
Are they suitable for running?
They are designed for walking and everyday casual activities. While comfortable, they may lack the specific high-impact support needed for dedicated long-distance running.
How do I know if the size is right?
Skechers typically follow standard sizing. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, most Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam insoles are designed to be removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping out while walking
Ensure the laces are tightened appropriately; even in slip-ons, the laces help maintain the structural fit around the midfoot.
Odour buildup after heavy use
The shoes are machine washable, which is the most effective way to eliminate odours. Ensure they are completely air-dried before the next use.
Pros and Cons

- Highly breathable air-cooled memory foam

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setup: These shoes are ready to wear immediately. While they feature adjustable laces, the primary function is the slip-on design; once the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension, you can simply slide your feet in and out.
- Compatibility: The neutral design and varied colour options make them versatile for casual wear with jeans, activewear, or leisure outfits.
- Care: Being machine washable is a significant advantage. To wash, remove the insoles if possible, place the shoes in a laundry bag, and use a delicate cycle with cold water. Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping.
