Product Information
Full details
These Skechers Max Cushioning Glide-Step trainers are designed for adults seeking ultimate comfort and performance in a slip-on shoe. Their key benefit is the hands-free, easy on-off design combined with superior cushioning for all-day wear. A potential caveat is that the focus on cushioning might make them less ideal for very agile, sport-specific training requiring extreme responsiveness. Key features include the innovative Heel Pillow™ for a secure fit, breathable jacquard mesh upper, Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole, ULTRA GO® cushioning, Glide-Step® geometric design, a high-traction Goodyear® Rubber Outsole, and machine washability.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While the Max Cushioning® offers excellent comfort, these trainers are primarily designed for everyday wear, walking, and light fitness. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with more targeted support and responsiveness might be more appropriate.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, you can wear these trainers with or without socks. The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole provides comfort, but wearing thin socks can further enhance comfort and hygiene for some users.
How long does the cushioning typically last?
The lifespan of the cushioning depends on usage frequency and intensity. For daily wear and moderate activity, the ULTRA GO® and Max Cushioning® should provide effective support for a significant period. Regular cleaning can help maintain their condition.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
'Hands Free Slip-ins®' means you can put on and take off the shoes without needing to use your hands to adjust them, thanks to a specially engineered heel structure.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They feature a breathable mesh upper, which is designed for ventilation rather than water resistance.
What is the purpose of the Glide-Step® design?
The Glide-Step® geometric design in the outsole is engineered to create a smoother heel-to-toe transition with each step, enhancing walking efficiency and comfort.
Can I use these for playing sports like basketball or tennis?
These trainers are best suited for walking, casual wear, and light fitness. For sports like basketball or tennis that require quick lateral movements and high impact, specialized athletic shoes with enhanced ankle support and stability are recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The Hands-Free Slip-ins® design should offer a snug fit without laces. If still uncomfortable, consider if the specific fit profile suits your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
The cushioning is designed for durability. However, for prolonged heavy use, the responsiveness might decrease. Consider cleaning the insoles as per care instructions. If the issue persists after cleaning and continued use, the cushioning may have reached the end of its optimal lifespan.
Traction feels poor on wet surfaces.
While the Goodyear® Rubber Outsole offers good traction, extreme wet conditions can still reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. For very slippery conditions, exercise caution.
Mesh upper appears dirty after a single wear.
The jacquard mesh is breathable but can attract dirt easily. Refer to the 'Care' section for machine washing instructions to effectively clean the upper.
