Full details
The Skechers Max Cushioning Glide-Step trainers are designed for active adults seeking a blend of high-level comfort and responsive performance.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are primarily designed for walking, comfort, and daily activity. While they provide excellent cushioning, they are not intended for high-intensity running.
Can I replace the insoles with orthotics?
The comfort insoles are designed to work with the shoe's internal geometry. You can remove them to insert custom orthotics, provided they have a similar profile.
How do I maintain the slip-in function?
Keep the collar area clean and avoid stepping on the heel counter manually, which can break down the structure of the Heel Pillow over time.
What is the benefit of the Goodyear outsole?
The Goodyear rubber provides superior grip and abrasion resistance compared to standard EVA or basic rubber, increasing the lifespan of the outsole.
Are these trainers true to size?
Skechers generally run true to size, but the Max Cushioning series provides a slightly roomier fit in the toe box to accommodate natural foot swelling during the day.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty sliding foot into the shoe
Ensure the heel tab is not folded inward and use a gentle rocking motion with your heel to allow the Heel Pillow to lock into place.
Feeling of instability or 'rolling'
The Glide-Step design is engineered for forward momentum; focus on your gait and ensure you are walking with a natural heel-to-toe strike pattern to stabilize the platform.
Insole starts to feel damp or odors develop
Remove the insole after daily use to allow it to air out in a well-ventilated area; use an antimicrobial shoe spray if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are 'Slip-ins', no initial setup is required. To maintain the integrity of the heel construction, avoid using excessive force when inserting your foot; the internal Heel Pillow is designed to guide the foot into the shoe naturally. For cleaning, use a soft cloth with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the specialized cushioning foams and the adhesive bonds of the outsole. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping.
