Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step® Pro - Waverra trainers are designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and stylish athletic shoe for everyday wear and light training. The key benefit is the combination of advanced cushioning with a breathable, machine-washable design. A potential caveat is that while versatile, they are optimized for comfort rather than high-performance athletic competition. This shoe features an engineered jacquard mesh upper, a geometric Glide-Step® midsole for advanced cushioning, and a Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, all within a sporty, vegan construction.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
No, the Skechers Glide-Step® Pro - Waverra trainers are designed for comfort and casual wear or light exercise. They do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for high-impact activities like marathon running.
How do I ensure the best fit with stretch laces?
The stretch laces are pre-tied and designed for a secure slip-on fit. They do not adjust like traditional laces. Wearing standard athletic socks is recommended for optimal comfort and fit. If they feel too tight or loose, consider trying a different size.
Can I put these trainers in the dryer?
No, it is strongly recommended to air dry these trainers. Placing them in a dryer can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning components, significantly impacting their comfort and longevity.
Are these trainers truly vegan?
Yes, the product description states this is a 'sporty vegan design,' indicating that no animal-derived materials or by-products are used in its construction.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially if they become visibly dirty or start to develop odors. Machine washing can be done periodically, but frequent washing might accelerate wear. Spot cleaning is suitable for minor marks.
What is the benefit of the geometric Glide-Step® midsole?
The geometric design of the Glide-Step® midsole is engineered to provide enhanced cushioning, reduce impact forces, and promote a smoother, more efficient stride pattern.
What is the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
This is a special insole designed by Skechers that provides enhanced cushioning and breathability. The 'Air-Cooled' aspect refers to its ability to help keep feet cooler and drier by allowing air circulation.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or too loose.
These trainers feature a slip-on design with fixed stretch laces. For minor adjustments, ensure your socks are of average thickness. If the fit is significantly off, consider trying a different size. These are not designed for custom lace-up adjustments.
Machine washing results in damage or reduced performance.
Always use a gentle cycle with cold water. Ensure the trainers are fully air-dried away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid using harsh detergents. If damage occurs, cease machine washing and opt for spot cleaning with a damp cloth.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole and Glide-Step® midsole are designed for lasting comfort. If cushioning seems reduced, ensure the insoles are clean and properly positioned. Occasional machine washing (as per care instructions) can help refresh them. For persistent issues, consider replacing the insoles.
