FAQs
How do the Hands Free Slip-ins® work?
The design incorporates a unique heel structure that allows you to slide your foot in without bending or touching the shoe, utilizing a secure yet flexible heel counter.
Are these trainers suitable for all types of running?
They are designed for general running and walking. For highly specialized running disciplines or extreme terrain, specific running shoes designed for those purposes might be more appropriate.
Can I put these trainers in the dryer?
No, do NOT place the trainers in a dryer. They must be air-dried away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent damage and maintain their shape.
What does 'vegan-friendly' mean for these shoes?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these trainers.
How often should I clean my Glide-Step Vortex trainers?
Clean them as needed, especially after particularly dirty or sweaty use. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth can also help maintain their appearance between washes.
What is M-Strike® technology?
M-Strike® technology is incorporated into the midsole to promote a smoother transition from heel to toe with each stride, contributing to running efficiency.
Will these trainers offer good arch support?
They provide general support suitable for running and walking. For individuals requiring specialized arch support due to medical conditions, orthotic insoles may be considered.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure laces are loosened. The Heel Pillow® may take a few wears to break in. Gently pull the heel tab.
Slightly loose fit
Tighten the adjustable laces for a more secure fit. Consider using thicker socks if needed.
Reduced cushioning over time
While designed for durability, extreme or prolonged heavy use may affect cushioning. Adhering to care instructions can help maintain performance.
Discoloration after washing
Ensure cold water and mild detergent were used. Avoid direct sunlight or heat during drying, as this can cause discoloration.
