FAQs
Are the laces on these trainers functional?
No, the laces on the Skechers Glide-Step Gratify - Everyday Bliss are tied-off and decorative. They are part of the hands-free slip-in design and do not adjust the fit of the shoe.
How do the Hands Free Slip-ins work?
The shoes feature a unique heel design with a built-in 'Heel Pillow' that holds your foot securely. This allows you to slide your foot in and out easily without needing to bend down or touch the shoe with your hands.
Can I wear these for running or intense workouts?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual comfort and light walking. They may not provide the necessary support and cushioning required for high-impact activities like running or intense gym workouts.
How do I clean my Skechers Glide-Step trainers?
Yes, these trainers are machine washable. It is recommended to wash them on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Always air dry them afterwards and do not use a machine dryer.
What is the benefit of the Glide-Step midsole?
The Glide-Step midsole features a unique geometric design that is engineered to enhance natural momentum with every step, providing both lightweight cushioning and shock absorption for improved comfort.
Is the 'Heel Pillow' comfortable?
Yes, the Heel Pillow is designed to provide a soft, comfortable, and secure fit around the heel, helping to prevent the shoe from slipping off while maintaining comfort.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of lightweight mesh and synthetic materials, designed to provide breathability and durability for everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight despite being slip-ons.
The tied-off laces are decorative and not adjustable. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is not ideal, consider adding insoles for a snugger feel or exploring other Skechers models with adjustable lacing if a precise fit is critical.
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe.
Ensure your heel is positioned correctly against the Heel Pillow. You might need to slightly angle your foot and push down gently. If a shoe consistently feels difficult to slip on, it may be a size issue or a difference in foot shape.
Insole feels flat or loses cushioning over time.
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam is designed for comfort but may wear down with extensive use. For prolonged comfort, consider replacing the insoles with new Skechers insoles or aftermarket memory foam insoles once the original cushioning diminishes.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces.
While the outsole offers flexible traction, it is not designed for extreme wet conditions. Avoid use on highly slippery surfaces. If consistent traction on wet surfaces is a priority, consider specialized footwear.
