FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or high-impact sports?
While the Glide-Step outsole provides good traction, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and walking. For high-impact activities like running or intense gym workouts, a shoe specifically designed for those purposes with more secure lockdown and cushioning would be recommended.
How do I clean the beige mesh upper?
Use a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For tougher spots, a very mild soap can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.
What makes the Slip-Ins design 'effortless'?
The shoes feature an ergonomically designed heel that holds its shape, allowing you to easily step in and out of the shoe without needing to bend down or use your hands to adjust them. This is known as the 'Heel Pillow' feature.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, construction, and cushioning. Hand clean using the care instructions provided.
What is the Glide-Step outsole made of?
The Glide-Step outsole is designed for durability and traction, typically made from a robust rubber compound that provides a smooth feel and reliable grip on various surfaces.
How do these compare to Skechers' lace-up trainers?
The main difference is the convenience of the slip-on design. Lace-up trainers offer a more customizable fit and potentially more secure lockdown for very active use, whereas Slip-Ins prioritize ease of wear and quick on-and-off functionality.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular use for intended purposes, these trainers should provide comfortable wear for a considerable period. Lifespan varies based on usage frequency, activity level, and care habits.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe
Ensure your heel is fully aligned with the Slip-Ins heel cup. Try wearing thinner socks, or ensure the shoe is properly broken in. If the issue persists, the shoe may be too small or narrow for your foot.
Feet feel too warm or sweaty
The breathable mesh is designed for airflow, but in very hot conditions, some warmth may be felt. Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Allow feet to air out after wear.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While the Glide-Step outsole offers good traction, all rubber soles can be less effective on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Insole feels less supportive than expected
These shoes are designed for comfort and ease of use. If you require more substantial arch support, consider using an aftermarket insole designed for trainers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no setup. Simply wear them. The integrated Slip-Ins heel allows you to slide your foot in without touching the shoe with your hands.
Compatibility:
- Size: This guide specifically covers UK size 13 for adult males. Please ensure this is your correct size for optimal fit.
- Foot Type: Suitable for a standard foot width. Those with exceptionally wide or narrow feet may find the fit less ideal than with adjustable lace-up shoes.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the engineered mesh upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing, which can damage the material.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the Glide-Step outsole and midsole. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely.
- Drying: Never place the trainers in a washing machine or dryer, and avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the materials. Air dry them naturally.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
