FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Skechers Glide-Step Altus trainers are designed for comfort and walking. While they can be used for light jogging or gym activities, they may not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for intense running or high-impact sports.
How do I clean the "Heel Pillow®"?
The Heel Pillow® is part of the shoe's interior lining. Clean it gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid soaking the area and ensure it is air-dried thoroughly.
Are these shoes truly vegan?
Yes, the description states these trainers are vegan, meaning they are made without any animal-derived materials.
What is the main advantage of the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole is engineered to provide a smooth, fluid motion with each step, offering enhanced shock absorption and a comfortable, responsive feel underfoot.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash or machine dry these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, especially the mesh upper and cushioning, and affect the shoe's structure. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and air drying is the preferred method.
How does the Hands-Free Slip-ins® feature work?
The design allows you to slide your foot into the shoe without needing to bend down or use your hands. The heel area is shaped to accommodate your foot, and the Heel Pillow® helps secure it comfortably once inside.
What is the fit like?
These trainers are designed for a comfortable fit with a breathable mesh upper and stretch laces. The Heel Pillow® provides a secure feel around the ankle. Fit can vary based on individual foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
The stretch laces offer a flexible fit. If too loose, ensure your heel is properly seated against the Heel Pillow®. If too tight, try wiggling your foot slightly to allow the mesh to conform. These are designed for a comfortable, non-restrictive fit.
Difficulty slipping foot in.
Ensure you are stepping straight down into the shoe, allowing the Heel Pillow® to flex outwards. If resistance is met, check that the shoe is the correct size and that the heel isn't catching on the back.
Mesh upper shows dirt or stains.
Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a very mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
Unusual smell develops.
Ensure shoes are fully dried after any exposure to moisture. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or insert, or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight and then shake it out. Regular airing out is also beneficial.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Compatibility:
Designed for adult female wearers. Available in various UK sizes.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt from the mesh upper. For tougher stains, a mild soap can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Insoles: If removable, follow specific instructions for cleaning. Typically, spot cleaning with mild soap and water is recommended, followed by air drying.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Material Care: As these are vegan trainers with a mesh upper, avoid machine washing or machine drying, as this can damage the materials and structure.
