Full details

Featuring innovative slip-in technology and supportive cushioning, these sneakers are ideal for those with busy lifestyles who value quick transitions; however, the mesh-heavy construction may not offer the same protection as rugged outdoor-specific hiking boots in inclement weather.

FAQs
Are these shoes actually machine washable?
Yes, most Skechers trainers with this construction can be machine washed on a gentle, cold cycle. Ensure you air dry them completely.
Can I use these for running?
While comfortable for walking and light activity, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual trainers, not for high-intensity distance running.
Are they truly vegan?
Yes, the Glide-Step Altus is constructed using 100% vegan materials.
Do I need to tie the laces?
The laces are designed to be adjustable for fit, but the Slip-ins technology allows you to slide in and out of them without untying.
Is the insole removable?
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole is typically secured within the shoe; we do not recommend removing it as it is an integral part of the comfort system.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping out while walking
Ensure you are using the slip-in feature correctly by pressing your heel firmly into the back of the shoe to engage the Heel Pillow properly.
Upper material losing shape
The Stretch Fit mesh is designed to return to form, but avoid leaving the shoes exposed to extreme heat or prolonged direct sunlight which can affect the synthetic fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Skechers Glide-Step Altus trainers, keep the following in mind:
- Fitting: When trying on the shoes, ensure your heel is seated comfortably against the Heel Pillow. Because of the Stretch Fit upper, they should feel snug but not restrictive.
- Maintenance: While the upper is synthetic mesh, avoid heavy exposure to mud and grime. If they get dirty, spot-clean with a mild soap and a soft cloth or brush.
- Machine Washing: If deeper cleaning is needed, many Skechers styles are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle in cold water and always allow them to air dry—never place them in a tumble dryer as heat can damage the memory foam and adhesives.
