FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
They are designed for general activity, walking, and light fitness. They are not recommended for competitive long-distance running or high-impact athletic training.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, you should never place Skechers Slip-ins in a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the structure of the shoe and the adhesive.
Do I need to tie the laces?
The Glide-Step Vortex is a Slip-ins model, meaning it is designed to be worn without manually tying laces.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
Your heel should feel secure against the Heel Pillow without feeling squeezed. The mesh upper should feel snug but not restrictive over the midfoot.
Are these trainers water-resistant?
The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability rather than water resistance, so they are best suited for dry weather.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while walking
Ensure the shoe is fully pulled on; the Slip-ins heel is designed to lock in place. If it continues, ensure you are wearing the correct size.
Shoes feel dirty or retain odor
Wash the shoes in a washing machine on a cold, delicate cycle and allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear immediately out of the box with no complex setup required. Due to the stretch of the engineered mesh, the sizing is generally true to fit; however, ensure you are wearing socks of a similar thickness to your intended use when first trying them on to ensure the Heel Pillow secures the ankle correctly.
For cleaning, these shoes are machine washable. It is recommended to place them in a laundry bag, use a delicate cycle with cold water, and always air dry them. Avoid high-heat drying methods like tumble dryers, as this can degrade the specialized cushioning and adhesives used in the construction of the sole.
