Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step Altus is an ideal trainer for active adults who prioritize convenience and consistent cushioning for daily wear.

FAQs
Can I use these for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for walking and casual daily use, rather than high-impact running activities.
Are they truly hands-free?
Yes, the internal Heel Pillow and structured collar are engineered to let you slide your foot in without needing to pull the heel tab.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard adult UK sizing; if you typically wear a size 5, this model will provide a standard, true-to-size fit.
Is the insole removable?
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole is typically designed as part of the shoe assembly and is not intended to be removed.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Stretch Fit engineered mesh provides extra flexibility, which often accommodates wider feet better than traditional rigid trainer materials.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping out during walking
Adjust the laces for a tighter fit; ensure you are stepping fully into the 'Heel Pillow' when putting them on.
Mesh upper feels dirty or stained
Spot clean with a mild soap and damp cloth, or place the shoes in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle.
