FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Skechers Slip-ins: Glide-Step Altus are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities, offering excellent cushioning for walking and standing. They are not optimized for high-impact running due to their slip-on design and midsole structure, which may lack the specific support and stability required for serious running.
How do the adjustable laces work on a slip-on shoe?
The laces on this model are primarily for aesthetic appeal and minor fit adjustments. They do not function like traditional laces for significant tightening or loosening. The main ease of entry comes from the slip-on design and the Heel Pillow®.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the cushioning, adhesives, and the specific structure of the materials, especially the engineered mesh and Heel Pillow®. Hand wash gently and air dry as per care instructions.
What does 'Vegan Design' mean for these shoes?
A vegan design means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing process of these shoes.
How does the Glide-Step® midsole improve comfort?
The Glide-Step® midsole features a unique geometric design that is engineered to provide exceptional shock absorption and a smoother walking experience by guiding the foot through a more natural transition with each step.
What is the purpose of the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is a soft, cushioned material integrated into the heel collar of the shoe. Its purpose is to gently cradle the heel, providing a secure, comfortable, and slip-resistant fit without causing irritation.
How do I find other colors or sizes?
Information on other available colors and sizes can typically be found on the Skechers website or through authorized retailers. You may need to check the product page for variant options or search using the series name 'Glide-Step Altus'.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the laces to your preferred level of snugness. If the shoe consistently feels too loose, consider if the size is appropriate or if the specific fit of the slip-on design is not ideal for your foot shape.
Difficulty slipping foot in initially
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is flexible and the collar is not obstructed. Gently pull the heel collar outwards as you slide your foot in. The shoe should become easier to slip on with continued use as materials adapt.
Odor development
Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing. Remove the insoles periodically to air them out. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Make sure shoes are completely dry before wearing again.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing. For stubborn stains, consult specific mesh shoe cleaning guides, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.

- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can often be removed. Hand wash gently with cool water and mild soap, then air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes naturally. Do not place them in a washing machine or dryer, and avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials. Ensure they are fully dry before wearing to prevent odor and material breakdown.
