FAQs

What makes these trainers 'Hands Free'?

They feature Skechers' Hands Free Slip-ins® design with a padded Heel Pillow® that holds the foot in place, allowing you to easily slip them on without using your hands.

Are these suitable for serious marathon running?

While they offer good cushioning and stride efficiency for moderate runs, they are primarily designed for comfort and convenience in everyday wear and shorter to medium-distance running. For serious marathon training, more specialized shoes might be considered.

How do I clean the engineered mesh upper?

Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a small amount of mild soap and water, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.

What is M-Strike® technology?

M-Strike® technology is designed to encourage a more efficient stride by creating a smooth transition from heel impact to toe-off, helping to reduce fatigue.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash or machine dry Skechers Glide-Step Vortex trainers, as this can damage the materials and construction. Hand wash and air dry only.

What is the main difference between the Glide-Step® midsole and ULTRA LIGHT cushioning?

The Glide-Step® midsole is engineered for a smoother ride, while the ULTRA LIGHT cushioning provides responsive, lightweight shock absorption.

Are these trainers available in other colors and sizes?

Yes, the Glide-Step Vortex series is available in various colors and sizes. Please check the product listings for other available options.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight/loose

Adjust the laces for a more personalized fit. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size, as fit can vary between individuals.

Difficulty slipping shoe on initially

Ensure the Heel Pillow® is not obstructed. The slip-in feature may require a slight break-in period. Try a gentle heel-to-toe motion to assist.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness

The midsole cushioning may degrade over time with extensive use. Consider replacing the trainers if performance significantly diminishes.

Upper mesh appears dirty

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure to air dry completely.
