Full details

FAQs
How do I clean my Skechers Glide-Step Altus - Fast Lane sneakers?
These sneakers are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry. Do not use bleach.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they offer good cushioning for walking and light activity, they are designed primarily for casual wear and comfort rather than high-impact running.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means you can put on and take off the shoes without using your hands, thanks to a unique heel design that allows you to slide your foot in easily.
Are these shoes genuinely vegan?
Yes, the product description states they are vegan, meaning they are made without animal-derived materials or by-products.
Can I adjust the tightness of the laces?
No, the stretch laces on this model are decorative and tied off, meaning they cannot be adjusted for fit.
What is the purpose of the Heel Pillow™?
The Heel Pillow™ is designed to provide a more comfortable and secure fit by cushioning and holding your heel in place.
What is the difference between Glide-Step® and Memory Foam®?
Glide-Step® refers to the midsole technology designed for lightweight shock absorption and a smooth stride, while Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® is the insole technology providing cushioning and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose
While the laces are decorative, ensure the Heel Pillow™ is properly engaging your heel. If the overall fit is too loose, consider trying a half-size down if available or using an insole insert for a snugger feel.
Slight odor after wear
Since the shoes are machine washable, clean them according to the care instructions. Ensure they are fully dry before storing or wearing. Using odor-absorbing insoles or sprays can also help.
Difficulty slipping on initially
The Hands Free Slip-ins® design might require a slight break-in period. Ensure your heel is fully back in the shoe and try sliding your foot forward smoothly. Avoid forcing your foot in.
