Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step® Pro - Waverra trainers are designed for adult males seeking comfortable and supportive footwear for casual wear or training. Their key benefit lies in the advanced Glide-Step® midsole technology, offering a smooth and responsive stride, coupled with a breathable engineered jacquard mesh upper and a cushioned Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole. A potential caveat to consider is that while marketed as trainers, their suitability for high-impact athletic training may vary based on individual needs and the specific activity.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the Glide-Step® technology offers a smooth ride, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light training. For dedicated running, especially long distances or high-impact routines, specialized running shoes are recommended for optimal support and cushioning.
What does 'vegan design' mean for these trainers?
A vegan design means that no animal products or by-products were used in the construction of the trainers. This includes materials for the upper, lining, sole, and any adhesives.
How do I clean the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
The insole can be gently spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. It is best to remove the insole and let it air dry completely before placing it back into the shoe.
Can I adjust the fit of the laces?
The laces on the Waverra model are tied-off stretch laces designed for a secure slip-on fit. They are not intended for traditional adjustment like standard laces.
What is the main benefit of the geometric Glide-Step® midsole?
The geometric design of the Glide-Step® midsole is engineered to provide a smoother, more natural walking motion and enhance shock absorption with each step, contributing to overall comfort.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
It is recommended to store the trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag can help maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to break in. The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may initially feel firm but will mold to your foot.
Slight odor after wear.
Remove the insoles and let them air out separately. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.
Mesh upper appears dirty.
Follow the care instructions for cleaning the upper using a damp cloth and mild soap solution if necessary. Avoid machine washing or soaking.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your Skechers Glide-Step® Pro - Waverra trainers:
