Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step Altus is an ideal choice for active adults seeking a blend of convenience and long-term walking comfort. Featuring innovative hands-free technology and a responsive geometric midsole, these trainers cater to those who prioritize quick transitions and cushioning; however, users should note that the lace-up design is primarily aesthetic as the shoes are built for a slip-on fit.

FAQs
Can I put these in the washing machine?
While some Skechers models are machine washable, it is recommended to spot clean the Glide-Step Altus to preserve the structural integrity of the geometric midsole.
Do I need to tie the laces?
No, the laces are designed for aesthetic purposes and to hold the shape of the upper; the shoe is built to be a true hands-free slip-on.
Are these shoes vegan?
Yes, the Glide-Step Altus is constructed using 100% vegan materials.
How should the Heel Pillow feel?
It should feel snug and secure against the back of your heel, ensuring your foot does not lift out while walking.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Stretch Fit engineered mesh provides good flexibility, but those with very wide feet should ensure they select the appropriate size or look for wide-specific sizing if available.
Troubleshooting
Heel feels like it is slipping out
Ensure you are pushing your foot fully into the heel cup to engage the Heel Pillow mechanism.
Insole feels less cushioned over time
Remove the insole and allow it to air out for 24 hours, or replace with a compatible Skechers insert.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Initial Fit: While the shoe is a slip-on, ensure you have the correct UK size to allow the Heel Pillow to sit correctly against your ankle.
- Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity of the mesh and the memory foam, it is recommended to spot clean with mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the memory foam and adhesives.
- Laces: The adjustable laces are factory-set to a specific tension. Unless you have significantly wider or narrower feet, it is best to leave them as provided to ensure the slip-on mechanics function as intended.
