FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Skechers Glide-Step® Pro - Waverra trainers are designed primarily for comfort during walking and casual wear. For intense running or athletic training, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the Skechers sizing chart for accurate measurements. It is also helpful to try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. Since these have stretch laces, a snug but comfortable fit is ideal.
Can I wash the insoles separately?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insoles can often be removed. Hand wash them with mild soap and water, and allow them to air dry completely before placing them back into the trainers.
What does 'vegan design' mean?
A vegan design means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these trainers. This includes materials like leather, wool, or certain glues.
How often should I wash these trainers?
Wash them as needed when they appear dirty or develop an odor. Over-washing can potentially reduce the lifespan of the materials and cushioning. Air drying is crucial after each wash.
What is the benefit of the Glide-Step® midsole?
The geometric design of the Glide-Step® midsole is engineered to maximize shock absorption and provide a smoother, more fluid transition through your stride, enhancing overall comfort and reducing impact.
Can I replace the stretch laces?
These trainers feature tied-off stretch laces for a slip-on design and are not intended for traditional lacing. While you might be able to replace them, it would alter the intended functionality and fit of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Slight odor after washing
Ensure the trainers are completely dry before wearing. If odor persists, consider using a shoe deodorizer or a baking soda treatment overnight, then air out thoroughly.
Insole feels lumpy or uneven
Remove the insole and ensure it has been reinserted correctly and is fully dry. If the insole is damaged, consider a replacement.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
While the stretch laces offer a secure fit, they have limited adjustability. Ensure you have selected the correct size. For minor tightness, wearing thinner socks might help. For looseness, check if the insole is properly seated.
Material appears faded after washing
Always use cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when air drying, as this can cause fading. Consider using a fabric color-safe brightener if available.
