Full details
These Skechers Glide-Step Altus trainers are designed for adult women seeking a comfortable and convenient sporty footwear option for everyday activities. The key benefit is the hands-free slip-in design combined with lightweight cushioning for ease of use and all-day wear. A potential consideration is the vegan material, which may offer less breathability than traditional mesh.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for comfort and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the necessary support or durability for intense running activities.
How do I clean the engineered mesh upper?
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage the material and construction.
Are these trainers truly vegan?
Yes, these shoes are constructed using vegan materials, meaning they do not contain any animal products.
What is the benefit of the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole is engineered to provide a smooth, lightweight, and comfortable stride, enhancing the overall walking experience.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is typically removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or insoles if needed for additional support.
How do the stretch laces work?
The stretch laces are non-functional and are there for aesthetic purposes, complementing the slip-in design by providing a secure, comfortable fit without the need for tying.
What is the main advantage of Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®?
The primary advantage is the convenience of putting on and taking off shoes without bending down or using your hands, which is especially beneficial for individuals with mobility challenges or for anyone seeking quick footwear changes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The engineered mesh and memory foam may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, and they should mold to your feet.
Difficulty slipping feet in
Ensure your heel is fully retracted before attempting to slip your foot in. Sometimes a slight wiggle helps. The heel counter is designed to hold its shape for hands-free use.
Insole feels flat after some use
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed for cushioning. If you require more substantial arch support, consider using a third-party supportive insole designed for athletic shoes.
