Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®: Glide-Step® Gratify - Everyday Bliss trainers are designed for adult women seeking unparalleled comfort and convenience in a casual, everyday shoe. The key benefit is the hands-free slip-on design combined with cushioning technology, making them perfect for those on the go. A minor caveat is that while they feature tied-off stretch laces, they are not designed for performance athletic activities. These vegan-friendly trainers boast a breathable mesh and synthetic upper, a supportive Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, and a lightweight, geometric Glide-Step® midsole for superior shock absorption.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the Skechers Glide-Step Gratify trainers are designed for casual wear and light walking. They lack the specialized support and structure required for running or high-impact sports.
Can I put these shoes in the dryer?
It is not recommended to put these shoes in a dryer, as the heat can damage the materials and adhesives. Always air dry them completely.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
The shoes should feel comfortable immediately without any pinching or excessive looseness. The heel should stay in place when walking, and there should be a comfortable amount of space in the toe box. Refer to Skechers' sizing chart for guidance.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
'Hands Free Slip-ins®' means you can put on and take off the shoes without using your hands, thanks to the design of the heel and collar.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These trainers are not waterproof. They feature breathable mesh uppers, making them suitable for dry conditions. They are machine washable, however.
What is the Glide-Step® midsole technology?
Glide-Step® is a midsole design that uses geometric shapes to provide enhanced cushioning, shock absorption, and a smoother stride during walking.
Are there other color options available?
The Skechers Glide-Step Gratify series is available in a range of colors. Please check the product listings for specific color availability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
While the stretch laces offer some flexibility, these shoes are best suited for those whose foot width aligns with the standard fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, consider trying a different Skechers model designed for a more adjustable fit.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is fully intact and that you are using the heel tab to assist. Wear thin socks initially, as thicker socks may make entry more difficult. The slip-in feature may become easier with initial wear.
Insole feels flat after initial wear
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed to mold to your foot over time. If it feels less supportive, ensure the shoes are clean and dry. If the issue is significant, consider replacing the insole with a compatible comfort insole.
Unpleasant odor developing
Due to the machine washable nature, wash the shoes according to the care instructions. Ensure they are thoroughly dried before wearing. Using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays can also help.
