FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for walking, casual wear, and light training. They may not provide the specific support and cushioning required for intense running activities. For running, Skechers offers specialized running shoe models.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure thanks to the Heel Pillow™, without excessive slipping.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole is designed for comfort, and the breathable mesh upper makes them suitable for sockless wear. However, wearing socks can help manage moisture and prevent odors.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means you can slide your foot into the shoe without needing to bend down or use your hands to pull them on. The design incorporates a specially shaped heel that holds its form.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These trainers feature a breathable mesh upper, which is not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and comfort in dry or mildly damp conditions, but not for heavy rain or water submersion.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
It's best to wash them only when necessary to maintain the integrity of the materials. Over-washing can accelerate wear. Ensure they are completely air-dried after washing.
What is the difference between Glide-Step Altus and Glide-Step Altus - Turn Out?
The 'Turn Out' designation specifically refers to the enhanced Hands Free Slip-ins® feature, indicating an easier on-and-off experience due to the design of the heel counter and collar.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose after slipping on.
Ensure your heel is fully seated into the back of the shoe. The Heel Pillow™ is designed to hold your heel comfortably; if it still feels loose, consider trying a half-size down if available.
Difficulty slipping foot in.
Gently pull the heel tab upwards while sliding your foot in. Ensure socks are not bunched up at the heel. The Heel Pillow™ may feel snug initially but should ease with wear.
Odor after washing.
Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing them again. You can also use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
Reduced cushioning over time.
The cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. For optimal comfort, consider replacing the shoes after significant wear, typically several hundred miles or when cushioning is noticeably diminished.
