Product Information
Full details
These Skechers Max Cushioning Glide-Step Hartford trainers are designed for adult women seeking ultimate comfort and responsive support for everyday activities. The key benefit is the hands-free slip-in design combined with advanced cushioning technology for an effortless and comfortable experience. A potential consideration is that while they offer excellent traction, they are primarily designed for casual wear and light training, not extreme athletic performance. Key features include the Hands Free Slip-ins® technology, Heel Pillow for added comfort, breathable engineered knit upper, Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole, ULTRA GO® cushioning, Glide-Step® geometric design for smooth transitions, and a Goodyear® Performance Outsole for superior grip.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for ultimate comfort and support in casual wear and light activities. While they offer responsive cushioning, they are not specifically engineered as performance running shoes and may not provide the specialized support required for high-impact running.
How do I clean my Skechers Max Cushioning Glide-Step trainers?
Yes, these trainers are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. It is recommended to place them in a shoe bag and air dry them afterwards, avoiding direct heat or a clothes dryer.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means the shoes are designed to be put on and taken off easily without needing to bend down or use your hands. The design, including the Heel Pillow™, helps to secure your foot comfortably once slipped on.
Are these trainers vegan-friendly?
Yes, the Skechers Max Cushioning Glide-Step - Hartford trainers are crafted with 100% vegan materials.
How does the Glide-Step® design benefit the wearer?
The Glide-Step® geometric design in the sole creates a smoother transition from heel to toe with each step, contributing to a more comfortable and fluid walking experience.
What is the purpose of the Goodyear® Performance Outsole?
The Goodyear® Performance Outsole is designed to provide enhanced traction, stability, and durability, offering excellent grip on a variety of surfaces for secure wear.
Can I replace the insoles if they wear out?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing for replacement if they become worn or if you prefer to use custom orthotics. Ensure any replacement insoles fit the shoe's profile for comfort and stability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If they feel slightly tight initially, the engineered knit upper and cushioning may break in with wear. For a loose fit, double-check the size or consider using thicker socks.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ is not being obstructed. Try a slightly different angle when slipping your foot in. The Hands Free Slip-ins® feature may require a brief break-in period for easier use.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The ULTRA GO® cushioning and Goga Mat™ insole may naturally compress with extensive use. Consider cleaning the insoles as per care instructions or replacing them if significant wear is apparent.
Traction seems reduced
Check the Goodyear® Performance Outsole for any embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If the tread is significantly worn down, it may be time to consider replacement.
Shoes develop an odor
Ensure the shoes are properly air-dried after cleaning or heavy use. Use odor-absorbing insoles or sprays if the issue persists. Frequent machine washing according to instructions can also help.
