Product Information

Full details

The Skechers Glide-Step Altus - Turn Out Sneaker is designed for adult males seeking effortless comfort and athletic style. Its key benefit is the Hands Free Slip-ins® technology, allowing for quick and easy wear. A potential consideration is that while versatile, it's primarily suited for casual wear and light training rather than intense athletic performance. This vegan trainer features a breathable mesh upper, a supportive Heel Pillow®, Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, and a geometrically cushioned Glide-Step® midsole for responsive comfort.

FAQs

What makes the 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' feature work?

The design incorporates an internal structure and a specific heel shape that allows you to slide your foot in without needing to touch the shoe with your hands. The Heel Pillow® helps maintain the shoe's shape for easy entry.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Glide-Step® midsole offers cushioning for walking and light activities. For serious running or high-impact activities, we recommend Skechers shoes specifically designed for running, which offer more advanced support and responsiveness.

Can I wear these with socks?

Yes, you can wear these trainers with or without socks. The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed for comfort against bare skin, but socks can be worn if preferred for added warmth or hygiene.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is primarily made of breathable mesh with synthetic hotmelt overlays for added structure and durability.

How long does the cushioning typically last?

The longevity of cushioning depends on usage. For casual wear and light activities, the Glide-Step® midsole and Memory Foam® insole should provide comfort for a significant period. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive wear will help maintain their performance.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the Glide-Step Altus series is available in various colorways, including Black and White, often with different secondary colors.

What does 'Turn Out' refer to in the product name?

'Turn Out' typically refers to a specific colorway or design variation within the product line, in this case, indicating the Blue/Yellow color combination.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too loose or too tight.

The stretch laces provide a flexible fit. For a slightly snugger feel, ensure your heel is properly seated using the Heel Pillow®. If significant adjustment is needed, consider other Skechers models with traditional lacing.

Difficulty slipping foot in.

Ensure the Heel Pillow® is not being obstructed. Try sliding your foot in at a slightly different angle. The design is meant to be effortless, so if persistent difficulty occurs, check for any foreign objects or damage to the shoe's opening.

Discoloration after washing.

Ensure you are using cold water and a mild detergent. Always air dry and avoid direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade. If discoloration persists, it may be due to the specific dyes used.

Insole feels flat or uncomfortable.

The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may take a short period to conform to your foot's shape. If discomfort continues after a few wears, check that the insole is properly seated. These shoes are also compatible with many standard insoles if a different type of support is preferred.
