Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step Altus is designed for active women who prioritize convenience and consistent underfoot support. This trainer utilizes Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins technology to make putting on your shoes effortless, while the geometric midsole promotes a natural stride for daily walking or light exercise. While the Stretch Fit upper provides excellent comfort, users should note that the adjustable laces are primarily for aesthetic or minor fit refinement rather than heavy-duty lockdown for high-impact sports.

FAQs
Can I use these for running?
These trainers are designed for walking and casual activity. They lack the stability and high-rebound support required for dedicated running.
Do I need to tie the laces every time?
No, the Slip-ins technology allows you to step in and out without adjusting the laces once they are set to your preference.
Are they suitable for high arches?
The Memory Foam insole provides good cushioning that contours to the foot, offering comfort for various arch types.
Are the insoles removable?
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole is designed to be a permanent part of the comfort system and is not intended for regular removal.
How should I choose my size?
The Stretch Fit upper fits true to size, but if you prefer wearing thicker athletic socks, you may want to ensure you have enough wiggle room in the toe box.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while walking
Ensure the shoe size is correct and adjust the laces slightly to provide a more secure fit across the bridge of the foot.
Difficulty sliding foot in
Ensure the heel collar is not folded inward and use a gentle rocking motion with your heel to engage the slip-in feature.
Mesh becoming dirty or stained
Use a damp microfiber cloth with a small amount of fabric-safe cleaner. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Skechers Glide-Step Altus trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: Because of the Stretch Fit upper, the shoe should feel snug but not constricting. Ensure your heel remains seated in the Heel Pillow while walking.
- Lace Management: Use the adjustable laces to achieve your desired compression level, but do not overtighten them, as this may compromise the slip-on functionality.
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt from the mesh upper using a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, spot clean with mild detergent and cold water. Avoid placing these in a heavy-duty commercial washer or dryer, as the heat can degrade the Memory Foam components and the structure of the heel.
- Compatibility: These are best suited for neutral pronators looking for a comfortable lifestyle trainer.
