Skechers Slip-ins: Glide-Step Pro - Radiant Stride Trainers - Black/Gold - Size 5

No, the stretch laces on the Skechers Slip-ins: Glide-Step Pro - Radiant Stride are decorative and not functional for adjusting the fit. The primary fit is secured by the Heel Pillow® and the overall shoe construction.

You can machine wash them on a gentle cycle with cold water. Always air dry them afterwards and avoid using a machine dryer.

The Glide-Step® midsole is designed to provide lightweight shock absorption and promote a smooth transition through each step, enhancing comfort during walking and standing.

These trainers are designed for comfort and convenience in casual settings, light workouts, and walking. For high-impact sports like running, shoes with specialized support and cushioning might be more appropriate.

It means the shoes are designed to be put on and taken off easily without needing to bend down or use your hands to pull them on. The unique heel design allows you to simply step into them.

The trainers feature a mesh upper which offers some flexibility. However, if you typically require wide-fit shoes, it's recommended to try them on if possible or check reviews regarding their fit for wider feet.

The Heel Pillow® is a comfort feature that provides a secure and cushioned fit around the heel, helping to keep the shoe in place and prevent slippage when you slip them on hands-free.

These trainers feature non-adjustable stretch laces. For a snugger fit, ensure the Heel Pillow® is properly engaging your heel. If they remain too loose, consider adding insoles for a tighter feel. If too tight, ensure you have selected the correct size.

Ensure the heel area is fully accessible. Gently push your foot into the shoe, allowing the Heel Pillow® to cradle your foot. Some users find it helpful to slightly loosen the collar area with their hands on the first few wears.

The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. If discomfort persists, check for any foreign objects inside the shoe and ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Always use a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry. Machine drying can damage the materials and cushioning. Check the care label for specific instructions before washing.
