Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step Vortex Avalin trainers are designed for adult women seeking a blend of lightweight comfort and efficient movement for daily wear or light exercise. By incorporating specialized geometric midsole technology, these shoes promote a natural, fluid stride, though users should note that the slip-on bungee design prioritizes convenience over the extreme lockdown of traditional performance lacing systems.

FAQs
Can I put these shoes in the dryer?
No, you should always air dry these shoes. High heat from a dryer can damage the cushioning foams and adhesives.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
These are primarily designed for walking and light activity; they lack the specific motion-control features required for long-distance running.
Does the bungee lacing need to be tied?
No, the bungee lacing is fixed and designed to provide a secure fit without the need for manual tying.
What is the heel drop on this model?
This trainer features an 8mm offset.
Are they slip-resistant?
They feature a flexible traction outsole, but they are not certified as professional slip-resistant safety footwear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly loose
Try wearing a performance-weight athletic sock to take up extra volume.
Odors developing over time
Use the machine-washable feature as directed to keep the fabric fresh.
Outsole collecting debris in geometric gaps
Use a soft brush or compressed air to gently dislodge small stones from the midsole channels.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Machine washable for easy maintenance
- Lightweight construction reduces foot fatigue
- Slip-on convenience with bungee laces
- Advanced cushioning technology for smooth walking
Cons
- Not intended for high-intensity competitive running
- Fixed lacing system offers less adjustability than traditional eyelets
- Mesh material may show wear faster than synthetic leather
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature a non-adjustable bungee lacing system, they provide a 'set it and forget it' fit. If the shoes feel too loose, consider wearing slightly thicker athletic socks.
For care, these trainers are machine washable. To clean:
- Remove any loose dirt or debris from the outsole.
- Place shoes in a laundry bag to prevent snagging.
- Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water.
- Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to maintain the structural integrity of the foam midsole.
