Full details

The key benefit is the "Hands Free" slip-in design, enhanced by a Heel Pillow® for secure fit and easy on/off. A potential caveat is that while made from polyester, the specific durability for high-impact activities may vary. This trainer features a breathable mesh upper, Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, and a Glide-Step® geometric cushioned midsole for responsive support, all in a machine-washable, geometric patterned design.

FAQs
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
'Hands Free Slip-ins®' refers to Skechers' innovative design that allows you to put on and take off the shoes without using your hands, thanks to a special heel structure.
Can these trainers be worn for running?
While they offer good cushioning for everyday activities, they are primarily designed as casual trainers. For running, it is recommended to use footwear specifically engineered for that purpose, offering specialized support and impact absorption.
How do I clean my Glide-Step Altus trainers?
These trainers are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry them afterward. Avoid using a machine dryer.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The trainers feature a flexible mesh upper and a stretch-laced design, which can accommodate a range of foot shapes. However, they are not specifically designated as wide-fit shoes. It is best to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts.
What is the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is an internal cushioning feature designed to hold your heel securely and comfortably in place, preventing slippage and enhancing the ease of slipping the shoe on and off.
Is the geometric pattern on the midsole functional?
Yes, the Glide-Step® geometric pattern is designed to provide enhanced cushioning and a smooth, responsive feel with every step, contributing to overall comfort and performance.
What material are the trainers made of?
The upper of this specific model is made from a mesh material with synthetic hotmelt overlays, and the primary construction material is polyester. The insole is Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam®.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose after slipping on.
The stretch-laced design offers a flexible fit. If too tight, ensure your foot is fully entering the shoe. If too loose, the Heel Pillow® should provide a snug fit; consider if the size is correct for your foot.
Machine washing results in discoloration or damage.
Always use a gentle cycle with cold water. Ensure the shoes are fully dry by air drying only. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach.
Reduced cushioning or comfort over time.
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may compress over time. Try removing and airing out the insole. If comfort significantly degrades, consider replacing the insole with a compatible one.
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® area is clear. Sometimes, slightly twisting your foot as you enter can help. If persistent, double-check that you are using the correct size and that the shoe is not misshapen.
