Product Information

Full details

The Skechers Glide-Step Altus is designed for adults seeking a convenient, high-comfort footwear solution for daily activity and walking. Its key benefit is the Hands Free Slip-ins technology paired with a responsive geometric midsole, allowing for effortless wear and enhanced cushioning. A notable caveat is that while these shoes feature adjustable laces for aesthetic or security preference, the primary design focus is on slip-on ease, which may feel different than traditional performance trainers to some users.

FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

While some Skechers models are machine washable, we recommend spot cleaning your Glide-Step Altus to maintain the structural integrity of the Heel Pillow and midsole foam.

Can I use my own orthotic insoles with these shoes?

The Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole is generally glued in. Attempting to remove it may damage the footbed, so we recommend using them as provided.

Are these truly vegan?

Yes, the Skechers Glide-Step Altus is constructed using 100% vegan-friendly materials, containing no animal-derived components.

Do I need to tie the laces?

The laces are largely decorative or for minor tension adjustment; the shoe is specifically engineered for hands-free entry, so you do not need to untie them to put the shoes on.

How should I clean the mesh upper?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt, followed by a damp cloth with mild detergent to gently scrub stained areas. Allow to air dry naturally.

Will the Heel Pillow break down over time?

The Heel Pillow is designed for durability, but like all foam components, its elasticity may diminish slightly after heavy, prolonged use over many years.

Troubleshooting

Heel slipping while walking

Adjust the laces slightly to ensure the shoe is snug around the midfoot; ensure you are stepping fully into the Heel Pillow area.

Insole feels too warm

The Air-Cooled memory foam is designed for breathability, but if overheating occurs, try wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks rather than heavy cotton.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Skechers Glide-Step Altus, follow these care instructions:

  1. Initial Fit: While the shoe is designed to slip on easily, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension upon first use. Once set, the Stretch Fit upper will maintain this fit for future entries.
  2. Cleaning: Since the upper is crafted from engineered mesh, spot clean with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution if necessary. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation may degrade the structural integrity of the Heel Pillow and midsole.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading and to preserve the elastic properties of the mesh.
  4. Compatibility: These are ideal for casual, everyday wear. If you require specialized support for high-impact sports like professional running or court sports, consider a shoe designed specifically for those activities.
