Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Slip-ins: Glide-Step Altus is designed for adult women seeking comfortable, easy-to-wear athletic footwear for casual use. Its key benefit is the hands-free slip-on design combined with responsive cushioning for all-day comfort. A potential caveat is that the 'Stretch Fit' upper, while comfortable, may offer less structure for intense athletic activities compared to traditional lace-up trainers. This vegan-friendly sneaker features an engineered mesh upper, adjustable laces, Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, and a Glide-Step® geometric cushioned midsole.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While the Glide-Step Altus offers good cushioning for casual wear and light jogs, they are not specifically designed for the high-impact demands of marathon running. For serious running, a shoe with more specialized support and stability is recommended.
How do I clean the Geometric sole?
The geometric sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry before wearing again.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is removable and can be replaced with your preferred orthotic or insole. However, this might affect the snugness of the slip-on fit.
What does 'vegan-friendly' mean for these shoes?
Vegan-friendly means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these shoes.
How durable is the Stretch Fit® upper?
The engineered mesh Stretch Fit® upper is designed for comfort and flexibility. While durable for regular use, it may be more prone to snagging than sturdier materials if exposed to rough conditions.
Are there other colors available?
Yes, the Skechers Glide-Step Altus series comes in various colors and styles, including options like Black/Pink, White, and Brown, catering to different preferences.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the laces to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. The Stretch Fit® upper provides adaptability, but laces ensure a personalized feel.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the heel counter is fully accessible. For a smoother entry, wear thin socks or ensure feet are dry. The Heel Pillow® is designed to cup the heel once on.
Insole feels flat after some use
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may require a break-in period. If comfort diminishes significantly, consider using a different insole designed for arch support, though this may affect the slip-on feature.
Machine washing resulted in discoloration or damage
Always use cold water and a gentle cycle. Ensure shoes are completely air-dried, avoiding tumble dryers or direct heat, which can degrade materials.
