Full details
The Skechers Street™ Hands Free Slip-ins®: UNO Glide-Step® - Air Gliders are designed for adults seeking exceptional comfort and effortless style for everyday wear. Their key benefit is the 'hands-free' slip-in design combined with advanced cushioning technology. A minor caveat is that while engineered mesh provides breathability, it may not be suitable for extreme weather conditions. Key features include the Heel Pillow® for secure fit, Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, geometric Glide-Step® midsole, and a visible Skech-Air® airbag for superior shock absorption.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for everyday comfort and walking. While they offer good cushioning and shock absorption, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running and may lack the necessary support and structure for that activity.
How do I clean the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
The insole can typically be removed. Gently clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting it into the shoe. Avoid machine washing.
Can I adjust the laces on these trainers?
The laces on these UNO Glide-Step trainers are tied-off and primarily for aesthetic purposes. The fit is designed to be secured by the Slip-Ins® feature and the Heel Pillow®, not by adjusting the laces.
What makes the Glide-Step® midsole special?
The Glide-Step® midsole features a unique geometric design engineered to provide a smoother walking experience and enhanced comfort by optimizing the transition from heel to toe with each step.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The engineered mesh upper provides breathability but is not waterproof. These trainers are best suited for dry conditions. They may not offer adequate protection against rain or significant moisture.
What is the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is a design element integrated into the heel collar of the shoe. It provides extra cushioning and a secure, comfortable fit around the heel, helping to prevent the shoe from slipping off.
How do Skechers Hands-Free Slip-ins® work?
Skechers Hands-Free Slip-ins® feature a unique construction that allows you to slide your foot into the shoe without bending down or using your hands. The design, including the Heel Pillow®, ensures the shoe stays securely on your foot once on.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose upon first wear.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The Slip-Ins® design relies on a snug fit without being constrictive. If slightly loose, the Heel Pillow® should help secure the fit. If too tight, consider if the size is incorrect or if your socks are too thick.
Difficulty slipping foot in or out.
Ensure you are not forcing the shoe. Place your heel firmly into the back of the shoe. For removal, gently ease your foot out. The Heel Pillow® might initially feel snug but should ease with wear.
Reduced cushioning over time.
The cushioning is designed for longevity, but heavy use can lessen its effect. Ensure the insoles are clean and dry. If significant degradation occurs, consider replacing the insoles with compatible Skechers replacements.
Mesh upper looks dirty.
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water mixture. Dab with a clean damp cloth to rinse. Allow to air dry completely.
