FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Skechers Glide-Step Pro - Waverra trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They provide good cushioning for walking but are not specialized for high-impact running activities.
Can I adjust the fit of the laces?
The trainers feature tied-off stretch laces for a slip-on design. They are not intended to be adjusted like traditional laces. The fit is designed to be snug yet comfortable.
How long does the cushioning typically last?
The lifespan of the cushioning depends on usage. The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® and Glide-Step midsole are durable for everyday wear, but significant use may gradually reduce their responsiveness. Regular care and cleaning can help maintain their performance.
What does 'vegan design' mean for these trainers?
A vegan design means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the construction of these trainers.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
While the materials offer some basic protection, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to slightly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect comfort and material integrity.
How should I store the trainers when not in use?
Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent odors or material degradation.
What is the main difference between Glide-Step and traditional midsoles?
The Glide-Step midsole features a unique geometric design intended to provide a smoother transition through the stride and enhanced comfort with every step, compared to more conventional midsole constructions.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The stretch laces offer a snug fit but are not adjustable like traditional laces. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or style.
Reduced cushioning over time
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may lose some of its initial loft. Try removing the insole and placing it in a cool, dry place for 24 hours to help it recover. For significant loss of cushioning, consider replacing the insoles.
Color fading after washing
Always wash in cold water on a gentle cycle and air dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents. If fading occurs, it may be due to the washing method or exposure to UV light.
Odors developing
Ensure trainers are fully dried after washing or exposure to moisture. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Regular washing as per care instructions will help prevent persistent odors.
