Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step Vortex Avalin trainers are designed for adult women seeking a blend of athletic performance and daily comfort. These shoes are best known for their signature geometric midsole and M-Strike technology, which promote natural momentum and smoother transitions during walking or light fitness activities. While they offer excellent cushioning and a convenient slip-on style, users should note that the no-tie lacing system is designed for a specific secure fit that may not provide the same adjustability as traditional laces.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are optimized for walking and daily activities rather than high-impact distance running.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, if they are not bonded, they can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 1 1/2 inches.
How should I wash them?
Place them in a laundry bag and wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Air dry only.
Do they provide good arch support?
The Glide-Step design provides moderate support suitable for most casual walkers.
What is the drop on these trainers?
These shoes feature an 8mm offset (drop).
Troubleshooting
The fit feels slightly too loose
Since the bungee laces are fixed, consider using a slightly thicker sock to take up excess volume or using an aftermarket insole for a tighter fit.
Cleaning instructions for deep stains
For stubborn marks, use a soft brush with soapy water to pre-treat the area before placing the shoes in the washing machine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers feature a "ready-to-wear" design thanks to the bungee lacing system. Upon unboxing, the shoes should feel snug and secure without the need for manual tying. To maintain your trainers, take advantage of their machine-washable capability: use a gentle cycle with cold water, mild detergent, and air-dry them away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the foam cushioning and mesh upper. Avoid using the tumble dryer, as heat can warp the flexible traction outsole.
