FAQs
Can I run long distances in the Glide-Step Vortex?
Yes, the ULTRA LIGHT cushioning and M-Strike technology are engineered specifically for efficiency and comfort during training runs.
Do I need to tie the laces every time?
No. Once you set the laces to your desired tension, the design allows you to use them as slip-ins.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they feature an engineered mesh upper which is breathable but not waterproof.
How should I clean my Skechers?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid high-heat drying methods.
What is the benefit of the Heel Pillow?
The Heel Pillow is designed to hold your foot securely in place and prevent heel slippage during movement.
Are these suitable for gym workouts?
Yes, their responsive cushioning makes them suitable for treadmill work and general gym activities.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping out while walking
Adjust the laces slightly tighter to ensure the Heel Pillow grips your foot correctly.
Difficulty sliding foot in
Ensure the shoe is sitting flat on the ground and use a shoehorn if you are still breaking the Heel Pillow in.
Dust or debris trapped in mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris after outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, adjust the laces once to your preferred tightness; the Hands Free Slip-ins design allows you to continue using them as slip-ons thereafter without readjusting. These trainers are standard UK sizes for adult men. To maintain the integrity of the breathable mesh, avoid machine washing if possible. Instead, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. If they become heavily soaked, stuff them with paper and let them air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping.
