FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are primarily designed for walking and general athletic use; they may lack the stability required for long-distance competitive running.
How do I machine wash these trainers safely?
Place them in a laundry bag, use a gentle cycle with cold water, and ensure they are air-dried completely before use.
Does the Glide-Step technology help with arch support?
The geometric midsole design encourages efficient movement, but it is not a corrective orthotic device.
Can I replace the bungee laces with standard laces?
The design is optimized for the bungee system; changing to standard laces may affect the intended fit and aesthetic.
What is the heel drop of this shoe?
The Glide-Step Vortex Avalin features an 8mm heel-to-toe drop.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the athletic mesh upper is designed for breathability and will not keep your feet dry in rainy conditions.
Troubleshooting
Bungee laces feel too tight across the bridge of the foot
Untie the knot at the base of the bungee lacing, loosen the tension slightly, and re-tie the knot.
Foot slipping inside the shoe during activity
Ensure the bungee laces are pulled snug and the heel counter is properly positioned against your heel.
Midsole foam feels less responsive after heavy use
Rotate your footwear to allow the cushioning materials to recover their shape over 24-48 hours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Skechers Glide-Step Vortex Avalin is straightforward thanks to the bungee lacing system, which arrives pre-tensioned for a standard fit. If you find the fit too loose or tight, you can adjust the bungee tension by re-knotting the ends under the tongue, though most users will find the factory setting optimal. To clean, remove loose debris with a soft brush. Place the shoes in a mesh laundry bag and wash on a gentle, cold cycle with mild detergent. Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, as high temperatures can degrade the cushioning foams and warp the flexible traction outsole. Avoid tumble drying.
