FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

While the Skechers Glide-Step Vortex Trainers offer excellent comfort and cushioning for everyday runs, they are best suited for shorter distances and regular training. For marathon distances, specialized running shoes with advanced support and durability features might be more appropriate.

How do I activate the Hands Free Slip-ins® feature?

Simply align your heel with the back of the shoe and step down firmly. The Heel Pillow® design helps to hold the shoe open, allowing your foot to slide in effortlessly without needing to bend or use your hands.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with mild soap and water, followed by air drying, is the best method to preserve the integrity and materials of the shoe.

What is M-Strike® technology?

M-Strike® technology is incorporated into the midsole design to promote a smooth transition from the heel strike to the toe-off with each step. This helps to make your stride more efficient and comfortable.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the Skechers sizing chart and measure your foot length. These trainers are available in standard UK adult men's sizes. The provided size is UK 8.

What is the primary benefit of the Heel Pillow®?

The Heel Pillow® provides a comfortable, cushioned area that securely holds your heel in place, preventing slippage and enhancing overall stability and comfort when wearing the shoes, especially with the slip-in design.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the laces to achieve a more personalized and secure fit. Ensure the Heel Pillow® is properly cradling your heel.

Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe.

Ensure the Heel Pillow® is in its intended position. Try slightly loosening the laces before slipping your foot in. For first-time use, the shoe might require a slight break-in period.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.

Over time, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

The outsole is designed for general traction. For extremely slick or uneven terrains, these shoes might not provide the necessary grip. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no assembly or setup. Simply remove them from the box and they are ready to wear.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult men. Designed primarily for running and walking activities. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft cloth or brush to gently remove dirt. For stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. Ensure all soap residue is removed.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Laces: If laces become soiled, they can be removed and washed gently by hand with mild soap and water, then air-dried before re-lacing.
