Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step Vortex Avalin trainers are designed for active adults seeking a blend of natural momentum and everyday comfort. Featuring advanced midsole technology that promotes smooth transitions during walking or light fitness activities, these shoes are ideal for those who prioritize lightweight responsiveness. One caveat to keep in mind is the bungee lacing system, which offers convenience but does not allow for traditional tightness adjustments provided by standard laces.

FAQs
Can I use these shoes for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for walking, light fitness, and casual daily wear. They are not intended for high-mileage distance running.
Are these shoes true to size?
Skechers generally fit true to standard adult sizing. However, personal preference for roominess in the toe box can vary.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No. Always air dry your Skechers trainers to protect the cushioning materials and maintain the shape of the midsole.
What is the heel drop of this model?
This model features an 8mm heel-to-toe offset.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, most Skechers performance trainers feature removable insoles, allowing you to use custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight across the instep
Since the bungee laces are fixed, try wearing thinner socks to create more internal volume.
Excessive debris in the mesh fabric
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deep cleaning, place in a laundry bag and wash on a gentle cycle.
Slippage at the heel
Ensure the shoe size is correct for your foot; if the size is correct, try using a heel grip insert to improve the lockdown.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Skechers trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: The shoes feature a bungee lacing system which is designed to be 'set and forget.' Ensure the initial slip-on is snug but not constricting.
- Care Instructions: These trainers are machine washable. It is recommended to use the gentle cycle with cold water. Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources or radiators, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive components.
- Surface Use: While the traction outsole is designed for general athletic use, avoid heavy-duty trail running or rocky terrain to preserve the integrity of the flexible outsole patterns.
