FAQs
How do I clean the Skechers Glide-Step trainers?
Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. For the interior, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap, then air dry. Avoid machine washing.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
These trainers are designed for comfort and casual wear. While they offer good traction, they may not provide the specific support and cushioning required for high-impact athletic activities like running or intense training.
What does 'Slip-Ins' construction mean?
Slip-Ins construction refers to a design that allows you to easily slide your feet into the shoes without needing to bend down or use your hands to tie laces. They feature a cushioned heel for comfortable, hands-free entry.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, you can wear these trainers with or without socks, depending on your preference and the weather. The breathable mesh upper is designed for comfort either way.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of a breathable engineered mesh, which promotes airflow to keep your feet cool and dry.
How durable is the Glide-Step outsole?
The Glide-Step outsole is designed for superior traction and durability, suitable for everyday walking and varied surfaces. For extreme or heavy-duty use, its longevity may vary.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose
While designed for a relaxed fit, ensure you have the correct size. The Slip-Ins design prioritizes ease of entry, so a snug fit might not be achievable without laces. Consider adding thin insoles for a slightly tighter feel if needed.
Mesh upper feels restrictive
The engineered mesh is designed to be breathable but might feel snug initially. Wear them for short periods to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape. Ensure no debris is caught in the mesh.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
The Glide-Step outsole provides good traction, but like most footwear, performance can be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution when walking in wet conditions.
