Full details
The Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®: Glide-Step® Altus trainers are designed for adult males seeking immediate, flexible comfort with a unique hands-free entry system. The key benefit is the effortless on-and-off capability, ideal for those who value convenience. A minor caveat is that the stretch-laced design, while offering a snug fit, may not be suitable for individuals requiring highly adjustable lacing. This vegan trainer features a breathable mesh upper, synthetic overlays, Air-Cooled Memory Foam insoles, and a geometric cushioned midsole for responsive wear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Skechers Glide-Step® Altus trainers are designed for casual wear and walking. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and stability required for rigorous running activities.
Can I adjust the laces?
These shoes feature stretch laces for a slip-on fit and are not designed for traditional lacing adjustments. They offer a secure fit as is.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It's recommended to try them on if possible. The stretch-laced design and Heel Pillow® should provide a snug yet comfortable fit without being too tight or loose.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
This refers to Skechers' patented technology that allows you to put on and take off the shoes simply by stepping into them, without needing to bend down or use your hands.
How do I wash these trainers?
You can machine wash them on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Always air dry them completely away from heat; do not put them in a dryer.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The stretch-laced design offers some flexibility, but they are not specifically designed for wide feet. If you have very wide feet, they might feel snug.
What is the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is an internal feature within the shoe's collar that provides a comfortable and secure fit for the heel, aiding in the hands-free slip-on experience.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
While designed for a slip-on fit, the stretch laces offer minimal adjustability. Ensure you have selected the correct size. For a tighter fit, try tucking the laces more securely. For a looser fit, ensure the tongue is properly positioned.
Heel Pillow® feels uncomfortable
The Heel Pillow® is designed to secure the heel comfortably. This feature might require a brief break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to adapt to your foot shape.
Difficulty slipping shoes on
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is fully extended and not pushed inwards. Gently pull the heel tab to help keep the back open as you slide your foot in.
Slight odor after wear
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® provides breathability, but odor can occur with regular use. Ensure the shoes are aired out after each wear. Follow the machine washable care instructions regularly to maintain freshness.
