Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Max Cushioning® Glide-Step® - Hartford trainers are designed for adult females seeking ultimate comfort and responsive performance in their footwear. The key benefit is the combination of hands-free slip-in technology with advanced cushioning for a supportive, smooth stride. A potential consideration is that while designed for performance, they may offer a different feel than traditional lace-up athletic shoes. These trainers feature a breathable engineered knit upper, a supportive Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole, ULTRA GO® cushioning, and a Glide-Step® geometric design for enhanced shock absorption and energy return, all complemented by an anti-slip Goodyear® Performance Outsole.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Skechers Max Cushioning® Glide-Step® - Hartford trainers are primarily designed for comfort, walking, and light activities. They offer good cushioning, but may not provide the specialized support or structure required for high-impact running.
How do the Hands Free Slip-ins® work?
The shoes are designed with a unique heel construction that allows you to slide your foot in without using your hands. The Heel Pillow® helps to secure your foot once inside.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash or tumble dry these trainers. Hand cleaning with mild soap and water, followed by air drying, is the best method to maintain their condition and materials.
What is the benefit of the Glide-Step® design?
The Glide-Step® geometric design in the midsole is engineered to provide a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off, contributing to a more comfortable and efficient stride.
How do I clean the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
The insole can be cleaned by spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry before putting the shoes back on.
What kind of surfaces is the Goodyear® Performance Outsole best for?
The Goodyear® Performance Outsole is designed for high-traction and durability on a variety of surfaces, including pavement, sidewalks, and indoor floors. It offers reliable grip for everyday use.
Is this shoe available in other colors and sizes?
Yes, the Skechers Max Cushioning® Glide-Step® Hartford line is available in various colors and sizes. Please refer to the product listing or Skechers website for current availability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose after slipping them on.
While the Heel Pillow® provides a secure fit, some users might prefer a snugger feel. Ensure you are selecting the correct size. For minor looseness, consider wearing slightly thicker socks.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
The ULTRA GO® cushioning and Goga Mat™ insole are designed for durability, but like all cushioning technologies, they can compress with extensive use. Gentle cleaning and proper drying can help maintain their properties. If significant compression occurs, it may be time to consider replacement.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
The Goodyear® Performance Outsole provides excellent traction, but all outsoles can lose grip on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For significantly wet conditions, exercise caution.
Knit upper appears dirty.
Gently clean the knit upper with a soft cloth and a mixture of mild soap and water. Blot the area to lift stains and allow to air dry. Avoid excessive scrubbing which can damage the knit fibers.
