FAQs

What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins' mean?

'Hands Free Slip-ins' refers to Skechers' patented technology that allows you to put on the shoes without using your hands. The design includes a unique heel construction and collar shape that facilitates easy entry.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Skechers Glide-Step Altus - Fast Lane is designed primarily for comfort, casual wear, and walking. While the Glide-Step midsole offers responsiveness, they are not intended as performance running shoes. For dedicated running, consider Skechers' specialized running shoe lines.

How do I clean the white mesh upper without it turning grey?

Use a soft cloth dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the surface. Avoid using excessive water or harsh chemicals. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Is the 'Heel Pillow' a removable cushion?

The 'Heel Pillow' is an integrated part of the shoe's internal structure, designed to cradle the heel for a secure, comfortable, and slip-free fit. It is not a separate, removable component.

What is the benefit of the Glide-Step midsole?

The Glide-Step midsole is engineered to provide a smooth, fluid transition through each stride. It offers lightweight cushioning that enhances comfort and reduces impact during walking and casual activities.

Are these shoes true to size?

Sizing can vary slightly between individuals. Based on general feedback, these trainers tend to fit true to size for most users. It is always recommended to consult the brand's sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible.

Can the stretch laces be replaced or adjusted?

The stretch laces are primarily decorative and contribute to the slip-on design. They are not intended for significant adjustment. They cannot typically be replaced with traditional laces without altering the shoe's slip-in functionality.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty slipping shoe on

Ensure your heel is properly aligned with the Heel Pillow. If the shoe feels too snug, consider if the size is correct or if socks might be too thick. The slip-on design is intended to be easy but may require a slight adjustment in technique.

Insole feels flat or loses cushioning

The Air-Cooled Memory Foam may need to be refreshed. Try removing the insole and allowing it to air out for 24 hours. If significant loss of cushioning persists after a few months of regular use, consider purchasing replacement insoles.

Mesh upper shows signs of wear or dirt

Gently clean the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used carefully. Always allow the mesh to air dry completely.

Shoe feels unstable or lacks support

This shoe is designed for comfort and casual wear, not high-impact sports. Ensure you are using them for their intended purpose. If support is a major concern, consider shoes with more structured arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These sneakers require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. The stretch laces are decorative and do not require adjustment for most users, contributing to the slip-on nature.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, these trainers are suitable for a range of activities including walking, casual wear, and light fitness. They pair well with athleisure wear, jeans, and shorts.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Skechers Slip-ins:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and smudges from the engineered mesh upper. For tougher stains, a small amount of mild soap can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Insole: The Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole can often be removed. Hand wash it gently with cold water and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely before reinserting. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  3. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe the foam midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can degrade the materials. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  5. Machine Washing: It is generally not recommended to machine wash Skechers footwear as it can damage the cushioning, adhesives, and structure. Always opt for hand washing and air drying.
