FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The Skechers Glide-Step Altus trainers are designed for comfort and convenience for everyday wear, walking, and light training. For marathon running, specialized shoes with advanced support and cushioning might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the purple and green color combination?
Clean the shoes using a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could affect the color. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
Vegan means that the shoes are made without any animal-derived materials or by-products. The Skechers Glide-Step Altus trainers are crafted using synthetic and plant-based materials.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insoles are typically removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed, provided they are of a similar size and thickness.
What is the main advantage of the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole is engineered to provide a smooth, responsive ride, enhancing the natural motion of your foot and promoting a comfortable walking or light training experience.
How durable is the engineered mesh upper?
The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and flexibility. While suitable for everyday activities, it may be less durable than heavier materials for very rugged or high-impact sports.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the Skechers Glide-Step Altus series comes in various color combinations. Please check the product listings for available options, such as Black/Pink, Natural/Light Blue, and Navy Blue/Pink.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
While the stretch laces offer some adjustability, for a more personalized fit, ensure you have selected the correct size. The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole will mold to your foot over time for improved comfort. If the fit remains an issue, consider trying a different size or width if available.
Difficulty slipping shoes on/off
Ensure your heel is aligned with the back of the shoe. The Hands Free Slip-ins® design works best when the heel counter is properly engaged. If you experience persistent difficulty, check that there are no obstructions and that the shoe size is appropriate.
Reduced cushioning over time
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may compress slightly with extensive use. To help maintain cushioning, follow the recommended care instructions and ensure the shoes are not subjected to excessive weight or impact beyond their intended use.
Unpleasant odor inside the shoe
Allow the shoes to air out regularly. Use a shoe deodorizer or place baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure the insoles are clean and dry, as moisture can contribute to odor.
