Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step Altus - Turn Out trainers are designed for adults seeking effortless comfort and easy wear. Their primary benefit is the hands-free slip-in design, ideal for quick on-and-off. A potential caveat is that the vegan mesh upper might offer less water resistance than other materials. These trainers feature a breathable mesh upper, synthetic hotmelt overlays, a supportive Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, and a responsive Glide-Step® geometric cushioned midsole. The standout feature is the Heel Pillow® system, enabling true hands-free entry.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for comfort during casual wear and light activities. For high-impact running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The mesh upper offers some protection, but these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or lightly damp conditions.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to Skechers' official sizing chart for accurate measurements. The trainers should feel snug but not tight, with enough room for the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole to provide cushioning.
Are all materials in these trainers vegan?
Yes, the product description states these trainers are vegan, meaning they are constructed using materials that do not contain animal products.
How often should I wash these trainers?
Wash them as needed when they appear dirty or lose freshness. Over-washing can potentially reduce the lifespan of the materials, so clean them when necessary.
What is the purpose of the geometric midsole?
The Glide-Step® geometric cushioned midsole is designed to provide enhanced comfort, smooth transitions during walking, and shock absorption.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole provides cushioning and conforms to the foot, offering a comfortable and supportive feel for most users during casual wear.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in despite Hands Free design
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is fully extended and that the laces are loosened. Try stepping in with a slight forward motion.
Insole feels uncomfortable or misplaced
Remove the insole, ensure it is clean and dry, then reinsert it, making sure it sits flat and correctly within the shoe.
Shoes appear discolored after washing
Ensure only cold water and mild detergent were used. Avoid washing with dark-colored items. Allow to air dry away from direct sunlight.
Mesh upper shows signs of wear
Check for snags. Avoid abrasive surfaces. For minor tears, professional shoe repair might be an option, but the mesh is designed for flexibility.
