FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The Skechers Glide-Step® Pro - Waverra trainers are designed for comfort and support during walking and casual activities. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced features for high-impact performance are generally recommended.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity. Hand washing specific components like the insole is preferred, and the rest of the shoe should be spot cleaned or wiped with a damp cloth.
What does 'vegan design' mean for these trainers?
A 'vegan design' means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the construction of these trainers.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the Skechers sizing chart, typically available on their official website or provided by retailers. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately and compare it to the chart for the corresponding UK size. This model is a Men's UK size 6.5.
What is the benefit of the geometric Glide-Step® midsole?
The geometric design of the Glide-Step® midsole is engineered to provide a smoother transition during your stride, offering enhanced comfort and a responsive feel with each step. It helps reduce impact and promote a natural walking motion.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They feature a breathable mesh upper, which is excellent for ventilation but does not offer protection against heavy rain or water immersion.
How long does the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole last?
The durability of the insole depends on usage. For optimal comfort and support, it's generally recommended to replace insoles every 6-12 months with regular use, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially.
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The stretch laces offer some flexibility.
Faint odor developing.
Ensure the insoles are dry. Remove insoles and air them out separately. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake out thoroughly.
Slight squeaking sound.
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try placing a powder (like talcum powder or baking soda) under the insole. If the squeak persists and is bothersome, contact customer support.
Mesh upper getting dirty quickly.
Regularly wipe down the upper with a damp cloth after use. For more significant dirt, follow the specific cleaning instructions for the mesh material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the engineered jacquard mesh. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
- Insole Care: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can often be removed. Hand wash gently with cool water and mild soap, then allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Drying: Always air dry trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can damage the materials. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Material Considerations: As these trainers feature a textile/synthetic upper and are a sporty vegan design, they are not intended for heavy-duty or extreme weather conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
