FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Skechers Glide-Step Altus trainers are designed for comfort and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running. For dedicated running, consider specialized running shoes.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, cushioning, and the hands-free slip-in mechanism. Hand clean them using the care instructions provided.
Are the insoles removable?
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insoles are designed to provide integrated comfort and support. While they may be removable in some Skechers models, it is generally not recommended to remove them from the Glide-Step Altus trainers to maintain their structure and cushioning.
What does 'Vegan' mean in the product description?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the construction of these trainers.
How do the Hands-Free Slip-ins® work?
These trainers feature a specially designed heel structure that allows you to slip your foot in without bending down or using your hands. The heel contour supports your foot as you slide it in.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers feature a breathable mesh upper, which prioritizes ventilation over waterproofing. They are not waterproof and may not offer significant protection in wet conditions.
What is the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole is engineered to provide a smooth, fluid transition from heel to toe, enhancing comfort and promoting a natural gait with every step.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The mesh upper and memory foam insole will conform to your foot.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the heel is fully collapsed by stepping into the shoe. Try wearing thinner socks or no socks if needed. A shoehorn can be used if preferred, though it defeats the hands-free purpose.
Slight odor after wear
This is common with breathable footwear. Ensure feet are dry before wearing. Remove insoles to air them out separately. Use a fabric freshener spray designed for shoes, or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight.
Mesh material appears soiled
Follow the care instructions using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid saturation of the material. For persistent marks, consult specialized shoe cleaning products for mesh fabrics.
