Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®: Glide-Step® Altus - Turn Out is designed for adult men seeking versatile trainers for everyday wear and light activity. Its key benefit is the hands-free slip-in design combined with cushioned comfort, allowing for easy on and off. A potential caveat is that the stretch-laced design might not offer the same level of adjustability as traditional lace-up shoes for those needing a highly customized fit. This vegan trainer features a breathable mesh upper, a supportive Heel Pillow®, an Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, and a responsive Glide-Step® midsole for a smooth walking experience.

FAQs
Are these suitable for running?
While the Glide-Step Altus offers cushioning for walking and light activity, it is not specifically designed for high-impact running. The slip-in design and stretch laces may not provide the secure, locked-in fit required for competitive running or intense training sessions.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently wipe the mesh upper with a soft cloth dampened with cool water and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoe or using harsh cleaning agents. Allow to air dry completely.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, these trainers should not be put in a washing machine or dryer. Machine washing can damage the materials, cushioning, and overall structure. Hand wash components as needed and always air dry.
What does 'Vegan' mean for these shoes?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these Skechers trainers.
How does the 'Heel Pillow®' feature work?
The Heel Pillow® is an internal component designed to cradle your heel and provide a more secure, comfortable fit, especially when combined with the Hands Free Slip-ins® design, making it easier to step into the shoe without it collapsing.
Is the insole removable for orthotics?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is typically removable, allowing space for most standard-sized custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles.
What is the main benefit of the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole features a geometric design engineered to provide exceptional cushioning and a smooth, fluid transition from heel strike to toe-off, enhancing walking comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
The stretch laces offer a snug fit but limited adjustability. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If slightly tight, wearing them for a short period may allow them to break in. If too loose, consider adding a thin insole for a snugger feel, though the slip-in design prioritizes ease of entry over a highly customizable fit.
Difficulty slipping foot in.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is fully accessible and not obstructed. Try inserting your foot at a slight angle. For initial wears, a shoehorn might assist until the shoe molds to your foot shape.
Insole feels flat or loses cushioning.
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole provides initial cushioning. If it flattens over time, consider replacing it with a compatible aftermarket insole designed for athletic or walking shoes. Ensure the replacement insole is the same size and shape.
Smell developing inside the shoe.
Remove the insoles and air them out separately. Wash the insoles gently with cool water and mild soap, then allow them to air dry completely. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoe and insoles overnight to absorb odors before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no setup. Simply remove them from the box and wear them. The stretch laces are fixed and do not require adjustment.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft cloth slightly dampened with water and mild soap to gently wipe down the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can often be removed. Hand wash it gently with cool water and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight before reinserting.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used with mild soap and water. Ensure all soap residue is removed.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes. Never place them in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials and construction. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
