Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step Altus trainers are designed for women seeking comfort and support in an athletic shoe. The key benefit is the enhanced cushioning and natural momentum provided by the Glide-Step midsole, making these shoes ideal for walking and everyday activities. However, note that while the slip-on design is convenient, it may not provide the same level of secure fit as lace-up options for all foot shapes. These trainers feature a breathable mesh upper, Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole, and a durable EVA sole, combining style and performance for versatile, all-day wear.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
While some Skechers shoes are machine washable, always check the care label inside your specific model of the Glide-Step Altus before washing. If washable, use a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry.
What is the lifespan of these shoes?
The lifespan depends on usage, but with proper care, the Skechers Glide-Step Altus trainers can last for several months to a year or more. Regular use and wear will impact the lifespan.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with Skechers or other brand insoles for added comfort or support.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Glide-Step Altus is primarily designed for walking and everyday wear. While they can be used for light jogging, they might not offer the same level of support and cushioning as dedicated running shoes.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
You can wear any type of socks with these shoes, but for optimal comfort, consider moisture-wicking athletic socks or cushioned socks.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the shoe's material quality and durability.
What if the shoes get wet?
If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid using a heat source like a hairdryer, as this can damage the material.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Ensure you have the correct size. The Memory Foam insole molds to your foot, so the fit might initially feel snug. If the tightness persists, consider trying a half-size larger.
Shoes are uncomfortable after extended use.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Consider replacing the insoles if the cushioning has worn down.
Shoes smell bad.
Use odor-eliminating sprays or baking soda inside the shoes and allow them to air out.
Sole is losing traction.
Clean the sole regularly to remove dirt and debris that can reduce traction. If the problem persists, consider replacing the shoes.
