FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Skechers Glide-Step Altus trainers are designed for comfort and support during walking and light athletic activities. For intense running, specialized running shoes offering more dynamic support and impact absorption might be more appropriate.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed for comfort against the foot, making them suitable for sockless wear. However, wearing socks can help manage moisture and hygiene.
What does 'vegan trainer' mean?
A vegan trainer means that no animal products or by-products were used in the construction of the shoe.
How do I clean the yellow accents?
The yellow accents, like the rest of the upper, can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the color or material.
What is the main benefit of the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole features geometric cushioning designed to provide exceptional support and responsiveness, contributing to a smoother and more comfortable stride.
How do Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® work?
These shoes feature a unique design that allows you to slide your foot in without needing to bend down or use your hands. The heel is designed to securely hold your foot in place once slipped on.
What is the Heel Pillow® feature?
The Heel Pillow® is an internal padding system designed to provide a more secure, comfortable, and cushioned fit around the heel area.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The slip-on design is meant to be secure but comfortable. If still an issue, consider if a thicker or thinner sock might adjust the fit.
Discomfort in the heel area
The Heel Pillow® may require a short break-in period. Try wearing the shoes for shorter durations initially. Ensure socks are not bunching up in the heel.
Reduced cushioning over time
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may compress with prolonged use. Gentle cleaning as per care instructions can help maintain its properties. Consider replacing the insole if significant degradation occurs.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained
Gently clean the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid soaking the shoe. For stubborn stains, consult specialized shoe cleaning products suitable for mesh materials.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your Skechers Glide-Step Altus trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft cloth slightly dampened with water to gently wipe away dirt from the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before wearing.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with paper to help absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer.
- Machine Washing: It is generally not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the cushioning and materials.
