Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step® Pro - Waverra trainers are designed for adult males seeking comfortable and stylish footwear for an active lifestyle. Their key benefit is exceptional comfort through the Glide-Step® midsole and Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, combined with easy care due to their machine-washable polyester construction. A potential consideration is that they are vegan, which may not be a preference for all users. Key features include an engineered jacquard mesh upper, stretch laces, and a geometric pattern.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While the Skechers Glide-Step® Pro - Waverra trainers offer excellent comfort for daily wear and light activities, they may not provide the specialized support and cushioning required for marathon running. For such intense activities, consider footwear specifically designed for long-distance running.
How do I best care for the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed for breathability. To maintain its properties, ensure the shoes are properly aired out after use. If it becomes soiled, it can typically be spot cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the insole.
Can I wear these trainers with orthotics?
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is usually removable, which allows space for custom orthotics. It is recommended to check the specific product details or try them on with your orthotics if possible.
What does 'vegan design' mean for these trainers?
A vegan design means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these trainers. The materials are synthetic and plant-based.
How durable is the geometric Glide-Step® midsole?
The geometric Glide-Step® midsole is engineered for comfort and responsiveness. While durable for everyday use and moderate activities, extremely abrasive conditions or high-impact sports could potentially accelerate wear.
What is the best way to ensure the trainers maintain their shape after washing?
To maintain shape, it's crucial to air dry the trainers completely. Stuffing them with paper towels or shoe trees can help absorb moisture and support their structure during the drying process. Never use a machine dryer.
Are the tied-off stretch laces adjustable?
The laces are designed for ease of use and a secure fit. While they are stretch laces, the 'tied-off' design means they are not intended for significant adjustment like traditional laces. The primary adjustment comes from the stretchiness of the material itself.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Due to the stretch laces, adjust the knot for a more personalized fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Discomfort after initial wear.
It's common for new shoes to require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Fading of colour after washing.
Ensure you are using cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid excessive washing if colour vibrancy is a concern.
Mesh upper shows signs of wear.
Be mindful of activities that could snag or tear the mesh, such as brushing against rough surfaces frequently. Gentle use is recommended for the mesh longevity.
