Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®: Glide-Step® Gratify - Everyday Bliss trainers are designed for adult women seeking effortless comfort and easy wear. Their key benefit is the hands-free slip-on design combined with cushioned support for all-day wear. A potential caveat is that the tied-off stretch laces are non-functional, meaning they are purely for aesthetics and cannot be adjusted for a tighter fit. This model features a machine washable construction, a Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, and a geometric Glide-Step® midsole for enhanced comfort.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are the laces adjustable?
No, the laces on this model are decorative and tied off. The shoe is designed as a slip-on and does not feature adjustable laces.
Can I put these trainers in the dryer?
No, it is strongly recommended to air dry these trainers only. Putting them in a dryer can damage the materials and affect their shape and cushioning.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
'Hands Free Slip-ins®' refers to Skechers' technology that allows you to put the shoes on and take them off without using your hands, thanks to a specially designed heel structure.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoe should feel snug but comfortable without being tight, especially around the heel due to the Heel Pillow®. Your heel should not slip out excessively when walking. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult the brand's sizing chart.
Are these suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light walking. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for rigorous running activities.
What is the 'Heel Pillow®' feature?
The Heel Pillow® is a specific design element within the shoe's collar that provides a comfortable, secure feel and helps to keep the shoe on your foot easily when slipping them on and off.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The mesh and synthetic upper offers some flexibility, but the fit is based on a standard width. If you have significantly wide feet, they might feel constricting. It's best to check reviews or try them on.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe
Ensure your heel is properly positioned against the Heel Pillow®. Try sliding your foot in at a slightly different angle. If the shoe feels too tight, ensure you have the correct size.
Insole feels flat or loses cushioning
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may need to be removed and aired out, or hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried completely. Replacement insoles can also be purchased if necessary.
Shoe smells after wear
Remove the insoles and let them air out separately. Washing the shoes according to care instructions can also help. Using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays can provide additional freshness.
Mesh upper appears stretched or loose
This is normal for a slip-on design meant for comfort. For a snugger feel, ensure the correct size was purchased. The decorative laces cannot be adjusted.
