FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
While the materials are durable, it is recommended to spot-clean them manually to preserve the integrity of the memory foam and the adhesive structure.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the Air-Cooled Memory Foam insoles are generally removable if you need to air them out or use custom orthotics.
Do I need to tie the laces every time?
No, the shoes are designed for Hands Free Slip-ins. The laces are primarily for initial adjustment to ensure a secure fit.
Is the sizing true to fit?
The Stretch Fit technology offers a flexible fit, but it is recommended to order your standard UK size for the best experience.
What is the primary benefit of the Glide-Step midsole?
The geometric structure is designed to provide smooth transitions and enhanced energy return during walking.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while walking
Ensure the laces are tightened slightly to snug the upper against your midfoot, which will help push your heel more firmly into the Heel Pillow.
Mesh upper looking dull
Gently brush the mesh with a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and debris that can become trapped in the woven fibers.
Insole feels compressed
Remove the insole periodically and allow it to air out in a well-ventilated area to restore some of the foam's resilience.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Skechers Glide-Step Altus trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Setup: Although they are slip-ins, adjust the laces once upon unboxing to your preferred tightness. Once set, the elastic nature of the construction should allow for future hands-free use.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean the mesh upper. Do not submerge the shoes in harsh chemicals or use high-heat dryers as this can degrade the memory foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the purple finish.
- Compatibility: These trainers are designed for standard adult foot widths and provide a moderate amount of flexibility to accommodate minor shape variations.
