FAQs
Can I wear these for running?
These trainers are designed for walking and casual daily activity, not for high-intensity athletic running.
How do I wash the Glide-Step Vortex trainers?
Place them in a laundry bag and machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Air dry only.
Does the Slip-ins technology mean they fit loosely?
No, the shoes are designed to provide a secure fit; the internal Heel Pillow holds the foot firmly in place.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and will not repel water.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
The comfort provided by the integrated cushioning system is optimized for the standard build; inserting third-party insoles may alter the fit and functionality.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The engineered mesh allows for some flexibility, but users with wider feet may prefer to verify fit based on standard UK sizing conversions.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty sliding foot into the shoe
Ensure the heel area is not folded inward and use the molded heel cup as a guide to assist the foot entry.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Check that the shoe size is correct; if slipping persists, ensure the Heel Pillow is not obstructed by thick or slick socks.
Unpleasant odor after frequent wear
Since the shoes are machine washable, perform a cold wash cycle and ensure they are thoroughly air-dried to eliminate trapped moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the Skechers Slip-ins technology, no initial setup or lace adjustment is required; the shoe is designed to hold its shape for a step-in entry. When it comes to care, these trainers are machine washable. To wash, remove any loose debris from the soles, place them in a laundry bag, and use a cold water, gentle cycle. Always air dry the shoes in a shaded, well-ventilated area—do not place them in the tumble dryer or expose them to direct heat sources, as this can degrade the specialized cushioning and mesh structure.
