FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Skechers UNO Glide-Step - Air Gliders are designed for casual wear and walking. They lack the specific support and stability features required for running.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the cushioning, adhesives, and materials. Hand wash using mild soap and water as per the care instructions.
What is the main advantage of the 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' feature?
The primary advantage is the ability to put on and take off the shoes without needing to bend down or use your hands, offering great convenience, especially for those with mobility challenges or anyone in a hurry.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
The trainer should feel snug but comfortable. Your heel should be securely held by the Heel Pillow® without slipping out, and there should be adequate room in the toe box. If your toes feel cramped or your heel lifts excessively, the size may not be correct.
What is the Skech-Air® airbag?
The Skech-Air® airbag is a visible air-cushioned unit integrated into the midsole, designed to provide enhanced shock absorption and responsive cushioning with every step.
How durable is the engineered mesh upper?
The engineered mesh upper is designed to be lightweight and breathable. While generally durable for casual use, it may be more susceptible to wear and tear from abrasive contact or very vigorous activity compared to traditional leather or synthetic uppers.
Can the laces be adjusted?
The laces are decorative and stretch-fit, designed to complement the slip-in feature. While there is a knot that can be untied for minor adjustments, they are not intended for traditional lacing and tightening.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
While designed as slip-ons, the stretch laces offer some adjustability. If they feel too loose, ensure your heel is properly seated within the Heel Pillow®. If too tight, try slightly loosening the decorative knot on the laces and re-tying, or check if the size is correct for your foot.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning, particularly from the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, may compress slightly with prolonged use. To refresh the feel, ensure the insoles are clean and dry. If the cushioning has significantly degraded, consider replacing the insoles.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the Heel Pillow® area is clear and not obstructed. Sometimes a slight twist of the foot can help guide it in. If persistent, the shoe might be too narrow or the wrong size.
Slight squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur between the insole and midsole. Ensure the insole is properly seated. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole may help reduce friction and noise.
