Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step At Ease Sneaker is designed for adult women seeking effortless, flexible comfort in a casual slip-on shoe. Its key benefit is the Hands Free Slip-ins® technology, allowing for easy on-and-off wear. A potential caveat is that while advertised as vegan, some components like tied-off stretch laces and duraleather might require closer inspection for strict vegan needs. This sneaker features a Heel Pillow® for support, an air-quilted fabric and duraleather upper, Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, and a super flexible Glide-Step® geometric midsole.

FAQs
Are these shoes truly vegan?
The Skechers Glide-Step At Ease Sneaker is described as vegan and made with textile and synthetic materials. However, it also mentions duraleather and tied-off stretch laces, which might be derived from animal products. For strict vegan requirements, it's advisable to confirm the exact composition of these components with the manufacturer.
How do I clean my Skechers Glide-Step sneakers?
These sneakers are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Allow them to air dry completely; do not use a machine dryer.
What makes the 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' feature work?
The Hands Free Slip-ins® feature utilizes a specially molded heel design that extends slightly beyond the back of the shoe, creating an accessible 'step' that allows you to slide your foot in without bending or touching the shoe.
Is the Memory Foam® insole removable?
Typically, Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insoles are integrated into the shoe and not designed for easy removal. They are intended to provide continuous cushioning and support.
Can I wear these for running or intense exercise?
No, these sneakers are designed for casual wear and comfort. They lack the specific support and structure required for high-impact activities like running.
What is the purpose of the Glide-Step® geometric midsole?
The Glide-Step® geometric midsole is engineered to enhance flexibility and provide a smoother, more natural stride. The geometric design helps in efficient shock absorption and energy return with each step.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made from a combination of air-quilted fabric and duraleather, along with tied-off stretch laces.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in initially
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is fully accessible. Wiggling your foot gently can help it slide in. The design loosens slightly with wear.
Shoe feels too loose or too tight
While laces are tied off, the fit relies on the heel cup and insole. Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Memory Foam® will conform to your foot over time.
Insole not feeling cushioned
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® may take a short break-in period to fully contour to your foot. Ensure the insole is properly seated.
Machine washing instructions not clear
Always use a cold, gentle cycle with minimal detergent. Air dry completely; avoid heat which can damage materials.
