Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step® Pro - Waverra trainers are designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and stylish athletic shoe for casual wear and light training. Their key benefit lies in the advanced Glide-Step® midsole technology, offering a smooth and responsive stride, complemented by a breathable engineered mesh upper. A potential caveat for some users might be the tied-off stretch laces, which offer a secure fit but less adjustability than traditional laces.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The Skechers Glide-Step® Pro - Waverra trainers are designed for comfort and style in casual wear and light fitness activities. They are not specifically engineered for the demands of marathon running, which typically requires specialized support and cushioning.
How do I clean the geometric midsole?
The geometric midsole can be cleaned using a damp cloth with a bit of mild soap. Gently scrub away dirt and wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Ensure the shoes are air-dried afterward.
Can I adjust the tightness of the laces?
The laces on this model are tied-off stretch laces, designed for a secure slip-on fit. They offer limited adjustability compared to traditional laces. The primary fit comes from the upper's design and the insole.
What does 'vegan design' mean for these trainers?
A vegan design means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the construction of these trainers.
How does the Glide-Step® midsole improve comfort?
The Glide-Step® midsole features a unique geometric design that is engineered to provide a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off, enhancing the feeling of responsiveness and comfort with each step.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. The engineered mesh upper offers breathability, which means they will allow water to pass through. They are suitable for dry conditions.
What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan of any footwear depends heavily on usage frequency, activity type, and care. With regular wear and proper care, these trainers should provide comfortable and supportive wear for a considerable period, typically several months to over a year for casual use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The engineered mesh and memory foam will adapt to your foot over a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Reduced cushioning over time
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may lose some of its loft. Ensure the insoles are clean and dry. If the issue persists, consider replacing the insoles.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn stains, consult the care instructions for gentle cleaning methods.
Difficulty slipping shoe on
Ensure the heel collar is not pushed down. Gently pull the back of the shoe upwards while sliding your foot in. The stretch laces should allow for some give.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Skechers Glide-Step® Pro - Waverra trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For more persistent marks on the mesh, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly with a soft brush, followed by a gentle wipe-down with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can often be removed. Hand wash with cool water and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes. Avoid placing them in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials and construction. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
