FAQs
How do the Hands-Free Slip-ins® work?
The design includes a supportive structure in the heel (Heel Pillow®) that allows you to slide your foot in directly without needing to touch the shoe with your hands.
Are these suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for walking and casual wear. While they offer cushioning, they are not specialized for high-impact running activities.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
Yes, the Skechers Glide-Step Altus - Turn Out trainers are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent, and air dry.
What does 'Vegan' mean in the product description?
It means the trainers are constructed using materials and processes that do not involve any animal products.
How does the Glide-Step® midsole benefit me?
The geometric design of the Glide-Step® midsole provides smooth transitions and cushioning, enhancing comfort during walking and everyday activities.
What is the purpose of the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
This insole provides enhanced cushioning and airflow, helping to keep your feet comfortable and cool throughout the day by molding to your foot shape.
What is the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is a design feature that helps to secure your heel in place, contributing to the slip-in functionality and preventing heel slippage.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure your heel is positioned correctly within the Heel Pillow®. Try slightly loosening the laces if applicable. For a snugger fit, ensure socks are not too thick.
Discomfort or rubbing
Wear with appropriate socks. If the issue persists, the shoes might not be the correct fit for your foot shape. Ensure the Heel Pillow® is providing a secure, not tight, fit.
Insole feels flat
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may take a few wears to mold to your foot's unique shape. If discomfort continues, consider using alternative insoles.
Mesh upper shows wear
Avoid abrasive surfaces and snagging. For minor cleaning, use a damp cloth. For machine washing, follow care instructions carefully.
