Full details
These Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®: Glide-Step Altus - Fast Lane trainers are designed for adult women seeking a comfortable, stylish, and easy-to-wear athletic shoe for everyday activities. The key benefit is the hands-free slip-on design combined with responsive cushioning for all-day comfort. A potential caveat is that the engineered mesh upper, while breathable, may offer less structured support for high-impact sports. This sporty vegan slip-on features an engineered mesh upper, Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, and a lightweight Glide-Step® midsole, all designed for a smooth and comfortable ride.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The Skechers Glide-Step Altus - Fast Lane trainers are designed for comfort during casual wear and light exercise. For high-mileage or competitive running, a shoe with more specialized support and cushioning might be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Skechers. Ensure your heel fits comfortably back into the shoe thanks to the Heel Pillow™ without excessive pressure.
Can the laces be adjusted?
The stretch laces are pre-tied and decorative. They are not designed for adjustment to tighten or loosen the fit; the fit is primarily secured by the Heel Pillow™ and the shoe's structure.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The engineered mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. They are not designed for wet conditions and should be kept dry to maintain their material integrity.
How long does the cushioning typically last?
The lifespan of the cushioning depends on usage frequency and intensity. For average daily wear, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® and Glide-Step® midsole are designed for durability, but regular inspection for wear is recommended.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means you can put the shoes on and take them off without using your hands. The design includes a molded heel with a Heel Pillow™ that allows your foot to slide in easily and helps keep the shoe securely on your foot.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing specific components like the insole and spot cleaning the upper with a damp cloth is the preferred method for cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure your heel is fully back in the shoe and the Heel Pillow™ is engaged. Try wearing thinner socks or ensure feet are dry.
Insole feels flat or less cushioned
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® may require a short break-in period. If the issue persists after several wears, ensure the insole is correctly positioned.
Shoes feel slightly loose or not secure enough
While designed for slip-on convenience, the Heel Pillow™ aims to provide a secure fit. For a snugger feel, consider wearing thicker socks. These are not intended for high-impact sports requiring a locked-in fit.
Material scuffing or tearing
Avoid abrasive surfaces and rough terrain. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions to prevent damage.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for adult women. Sizing is available in UK women's sizes. These trainers are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light athletic activities.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains on the engineered mesh, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can often be removed. Hand wash gently with cool water and mild soap, then allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials.
- Drying: Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and shape of the shoe.
- Laces: The stretch laces are non-functional for tightening and should not require adjustment. If they become dirty, they can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth.
