Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®: Glide-Step Altus - Fast Lane trainers are designed for active women seeking a blend of style, comfort, and convenience. The key benefit is the hands-free slip-on design coupled with responsive cushioning for all-day wear. A potential consideration is that while they are designed for speed and comfort, they are best suited for casual wear and light training rather than high-intensity athletic performance.

FAQs
How do I put these shoes on?
Simply place your foot into the shoe. The unique Hands-Free Slip-ins® design and the Heel Pillow™ will allow you to slide your foot in effortlessly without bending or touching the shoe.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It is best to spot clean them with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allow them to air dry completely.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
These trainers are designed for comfort and casual wear, with a focus on slip-in convenience and light activity. They may not provide the specialized support and cushioning required for high-mileage running like marathons.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
It means that no animal-derived materials were used in the construction of the shoes. The upper and other components are made from synthetic and plant-based materials.
How durable is the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole is designed to be lightweight and provide responsive cushioning for everyday wear and light activities. Durability will depend on usage intensity and frequency.
What is the Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® technology?
It's an innovative design that allows you to slip the shoes on and off easily without using your hands, thanks to a specially shaped heel and internal support structure.
Can I replace the insole if I prefer a different type?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is typically removable, allowing you to insert your own preferred insoles for customized comfort or support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
While these are slip-ons, ensure you are selecting the correct size. The Heel Pillow™ should provide a secure fit, but if issues persist, consider socks of varying thickness.
Difficulty slipping foot in initially
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ area is clear. The shoes are designed for hands-free use, but a slight wiggle might be needed, especially on the first few wears, until the materials adapt to your foot.
Insole feels flat after prolonged use
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed for comfort but may compress over time. For extended life, consider rotating with another pair of shoes or using insoles designed for added support.
Mesh upper shows signs of wear
Avoid abrasive contact. Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and mild soap solution if needed. Ensure they are completely dry before wearing again.
