Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step Altus - Fast Lane trainers are designed for active women seeking a stylish and comfortable slip-on shoe for everyday wear. Their key benefit is the hands-free slip-in design combined with responsive cushioning, allowing for effortless wear. A potential caveat is that the tied-off stretch laces are decorative and not adjustable, meaning the fit is fixed once on.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for comfort and casual wear, featuring a lightweight Glide-Step® midsole. While suitable for light jogging or walking, they may not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for intense or long-distance running.
How do I clean the engineered mesh upper?
Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water mixture, then wipe clean with a dry cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
Can I adjust the tightness of the laces?
No, the stretch laces on this model are decorative and tied off. They are not functional for adjusting the fit. The fit is determined by the slip-on design and the Heel Pillow®.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. These trainers are best suited for dry or mildly wet conditions.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means you can put the shoes on and take them off simply by sliding your foot in or out, without needing to bend over or use your hands to assist. The unique heel design allows for this convenience.
What is the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is a comfort feature located in the heel of the shoe, designed to provide a snug, secure, and cushioned fit around your ankle.
Are these shoes vegan?
Yes, the product description states that the shoe is designed with sporty vegan materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight at the laces.
The stretch laces are decorative and not adjustable. If the fit is uncomfortable, consider if the shoe size is correct or if this particular model meets your fit preferences. For a more adjustable fit, explore other Skechers models with functional laces.
Difficulty slipping foot in completely.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is aligned correctly with your heel. Try slightly angling your foot as you slide it in. For persistent difficulty, ensure no debris is caught in the heel opening.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, ensuring both it and the shoe's interior are dry, and reinserting it firmly. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
Reduced cushioning over time.
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may compress after prolonged use. Consider replacing the insoles with new Skechers insoles or compatible aftermarket insoles for restored comfort.
