Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step Altus - Fast Lane trainers are designed for adult women seeking a stylish, comfortable, and convenient athletic shoe. The key benefit is the hands-free slip-in design paired with responsive cushioning for everyday wear. A potential consideration is that the 'fast lane' aesthetic might not suit all casual outfits. These trainers feature an engineered mesh upper, Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, and a Glide-Step® midsole for lightweight performance, along with a Heel Pillow™ for enhanced comfort and a machine-washable construction.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for light athletic activities and comfortable everyday wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the support needed for intense or long-distance running.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart and measure your foot length. The UK size 5.5 is specified for this particular product listing. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals.
Can I use these shoes in wet conditions?
The engineered mesh upper offers breathability but is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not designed for prolonged exposure to rain or wet surfaces. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet.
What does 'vegan' mean in relation to these shoes?
Vegan footwear means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing process. These Skechers are made with textile and synthetic materials.
How often should I wash my trainers?
Wash your trainers as needed when they appear dirty or start to smell. Frequent washing is not necessary and can potentially reduce the lifespan of the shoe's materials and cushioning. Follow the gentle cycle and cold water instructions.
What is the Heel Pillow™?
The Heel Pillow™ is a design feature that provides a comfortable, padded area around the heel, contributing to the shoe's hands-free slip-in functionality and overall comfort.
Can I replace the laces on these shoes?
The stretch laces are permanently fixed as part of the slip-in design. They are not designed to be replaced or adjusted like traditional laces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Due to the fixed stretch laces, adjustability is limited. Ensure you have selected the correct size. For minor tightness, wear with thin socks; for minor looseness, consider thicker socks or an insole insert.
Reduced cushioning or comfort over time
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may lose some of its initial responsiveness. For continued comfort, ensure the shoes are cleaned regularly according to care instructions. Replacement insoles can also be used.
Difficulty slipping shoes on/off after initial wear
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ area is clear of debris. The slip-in feature is designed for ease, but initial stiffness may lessen with use. If persistent, check that the shoe size is appropriate.
Color transfer from shoes to socks
While unlikely with proper care, some color transfer can occur with new shoes, especially in darker colors. Wash shoes separately before first extensive wear if concerned. Ensure shoes are fully dry before wearing.
