FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Skechers Glide-Step Altus trainers are designed for comfort and casual wear, not for high-impact running. For dedicated running, a sport-specific shoe is recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Skechers and measure your foot for the best fit. The UK 5.5 is a specific size available for this model.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole provides comfort and breathability, making them suitable for sockless wear.
What does 'vegan trainer' mean?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these trainers.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
Machine washing should be done as needed. Over-washing can potentially reduce the lifespan of the shoe's components. Prioritize spot cleaning for minor dirt.
Is the yellow color on the blue trainers a bright or muted shade?
The secondary color is described as yellow. For precise shade representation, it is best to view product images or consult the retailer's specific color details if available.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially.
The shoe materials are designed to flex and adapt. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Difficulty slipping foot in.
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ area is free of debris. Try loosening the laces slightly if they feel restrictive, although they are designed for slip-in use.
Reduced cushioning after washing.
Ensure the shoes are air-dried completely. Avoid using high heat which can degrade cushioning materials. Follow the recommended cold water wash and air dry process.
Odor development.
Machine washing as per instructions can help. Ensure shoes are completely dry between wears. Using odor-absorbing insoles or sprays can also assist.
