Product Information
Full details
For adult women seeking comfortable and stylish athletic footwear, the Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®: Glide-Step Altus - Fast Lane trainers offer a quick and easy way to step into comfort. Their primary benefit is the hands-free entry combined with lightweight cushioning for all-day wear. A potential consideration is that the 'tied-off stretch laces' are for aesthetic purposes and not adjustable. This sporty vegan slip-on features an engineered mesh upper, a Heel Pillow® for secure fitting, a Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, and a responsive Glide-Step® midsole.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for comfort and light activities like walking. For intense running or high-impact sports, specialized running shoes with more targeted support are recommended.
Can I adjust the laces?
The laces on the Glide-Step Altus - Fast Lane are tied-off stretch laces and are primarily for aesthetic purposes. They are not functional for adjusting the tightness of the fit.
How do I clean the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
The insole is often removable. You can hand wash it with cool water and mild detergent. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat before reinserting.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means you can easily put on and take off the shoes without bending down or using your hands, thanks to a specially designed heel structure.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The engineered mesh upper is breathable and not designed to be waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions and are not ideal for wear in heavy rain or wet environments.
What is the Heel Pillow® feature?
The Heel Pillow® is a soft, padded collar around the heel that helps to secure your foot comfortably in place, preventing slippage.
Are these trainers available in other colors and sizes?
Yes, the Glide-Step Altus series is available in various color combinations and a range of adult sizes. Please check the product listings for specific availability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
While the laces are non-adjustable, ensure you have selected the correct size. The Heel Pillow® is designed to provide a snug fit. If the shoe consistently feels too loose, it may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Squeaking noise during walking
Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe bed, or from air pockets. Ensure the insole is properly seated. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or baking soda under the insole, then reinserting it.
Discomfort after initial wear
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time to allow your feet to adapt.
Difficulty slipping feet in
Ensure the Heel Pillow® area is clear and there are no obstructions. Use the pull tab at the heel. If you have very high insteps, a slip-on style might naturally be a tighter fit.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the engineered mesh upper. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can often be removed. Hand wash with cool water and mild detergent if necessary, and allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Outsole: Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers naturally. Do not place them in a clothes dryer or expose them to high heat, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Machine Washing: It is generally not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can compromise the structural integrity and cushioning.
Note: As these are vegan shoes, avoid using animal-based leather care products.
