Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step Altus is designed for active adults who prioritize convenience and long-lasting cushioning in their daily footwear. Featuring innovative hands-free entry technology, these trainers provide an effortless way to get moving while maintaining a secure, comfortable fit. The primary caveat is that the specialized slip-in structure may feel different compared to traditional laced sneakers, requiring a brief adjustment period for those used to manual tightening.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
While the shoes are durable, we recommend cleaning them by hand with a damp cloth to protect the performance foam and structural integrity of the Heel Pillow.
Do I need to tie the laces every time?
No, the shoes are designed for hands-free entry. You can tie the laces once to your preferred tightness and then slide the shoes on and off thereafter.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam insoles are generally integrated into the shoe. Using third-party inserts may alter the intended fit and comfort profile of the Glide-Step system.
Are these suitable for running?
These trainers are optimized for walking and casual daily wear. They may not provide the stability required for high-intensity athletic running.
Is the material waterproof?
The upper is made of an engineered mesh which is breathable rather than waterproof; they are best suited for dry weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Heel feels like it is slipping out
Ensure you are stepping firmly into the heel cup to engage the Heel Pillow; if it persists, tighten the laces slightly to increase rearfoot lockdown.
Mesh upper is showing debris
Gently brush the mesh with a soft-bristled brush or use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to lift dust from the fabric weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Skechers Glide-Step Altus, follow these best practices:
- Initial Fit: Use the adjustable laces to establish your baseline comfort level upon the first wear. Once set, the Slip-in technology should allow you to step in and out without readjusting.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the mesh upper. For deeper cleaning, it is recommended to use mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water to maintain the integrity of the memory foam.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can compromise the glue and material elasticity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup in the Air-Cooled insole.
