Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step Altus - Fast Lane trainers are designed for adult women seeking a comfortable, stylish, and easy-to-wear athletic shoe. The primary benefit is the Hands-Free Slip-ins® design with a Heel Pillow™, allowing for quick on-and-off convenience without compromising on support. A potential consideration is that while machine washable, they should be air-dried to maintain their structure and materials.

FAQs
Are these suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for comfort and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning for walking and light activities, they may not provide the specialized support needed for high-impact running.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Skechers. Given the slip-in design, ensure there is enough room for your heel to slide in comfortably without being too tight or too loose once on.
Can I adjust the laces?
The laces on this model are decorative and tied off. They are not designed for adjustment. The fit is primarily determined by the shoe's structure and the Heel Pillow™.
What does 'Vegan' mean in this context?
It means the shoes are constructed entirely from synthetic and natural materials that do not involve any animal products or by-products.
How often should I wash these trainers?
Wash as needed when they appear dirty or develop an odor. Frequent washing is not typically necessary and over-washing can potentially shorten the lifespan of the materials.
What is the Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® technology?
This technology allows you to put on the shoes without using your hands. It features a unique heel construction, including the Heel Pillow™, that supports your foot and makes slipping them on effortless.
What is the difference between Glide-Step® and Air-Cooled Memory Foam®?
Glide-Step® refers to the midsole design that provides lightweight cushioning and a smooth stride. Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® is the insole material, offering breathable, cushioned comfort that contours to your foot.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in initially
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ area is clear and try gently pulling the heel collar back. The slip-in design may require a few wears to fully mold to your foot.
Shoes feel too loose
While the laces are decorative, ensure your foot is positioned correctly within the shoe. If significant looseness persists, consider adding insoles for a snugger fit.
Machine washed but still smell
Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing. For persistent odors, baking soda can be sprinkled inside the dry shoes overnight to absorb smells.
Stitching coming undone
If minor, a small amount of fabric glue can be used for repair. For significant issues, contact customer support regarding warranty.
