FAQs
What makes these trainers 'Hands Free'?
The 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' design allows you to put on and take off the shoes simply by sliding your foot in, without needing to bend down or use your hands, thanks to the supportive Heel Pillow®.
Are these suitable for running?
These trainers feature M-Strike® technology and responsive cushioning, making them suitable for light jogging and walking. For intense or competitive running, specialized running shoes might offer more targeted support.
How do I clean the purple mesh upper?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water to gently wipe the mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow to air dry completely.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
It means the trainers are constructed without any animal-derived materials or by-products.
Can I adjust the fit if they feel too tight or loose?
Yes, the trainers have adjustable laces that allow you to customize the tightness for a more secure or relaxed fit, though the primary ease of use comes from the slip-in design.
What is the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole is designed to provide enhanced comfort and a fluid, smooth stride with each step you take.
Is the Heel Pillow® comfortable?
The Heel Pillow® is designed to provide a comfortable and secure fit around the heel, preventing slippage and adding to the overall cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the Heel Pillow® area is clear. Loosen the laces slightly. Try a gentle twisting motion as you slide your foot in.
Shoes feel too loose after slipping on
Tighten the adjustable laces to secure the fit. Ensure your heel is properly seated within the Heel Pillow®.
Material feels stiff initially
The engineered mesh and cushioning will soften with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in.
Uneven wear on the sole
Check your gait and ensure you are using the M-Strike® technology as intended. Consider if the shoes are being used for activities beyond their intended purpose.

Care Instructions: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Skechers Glide-Step Vortex trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the engineered mesh and vegan materials, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used sparingly.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Laces: If laces become dirty, they can usually be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent moisture buildup and maintain shape.
