FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
While some Skechers models are machine washable, it is recommended to spot clean these trainers to protect the specific midsole cushioning and the internal Heel Pillow structure.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Goga Mat insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if necessary.
Is this model suitable for running?
These are primarily designed for walking and casual activities. While they offer high comfort, they are not specifically engineered for long-distance marathon running.
How do I ensure the correct size?
The fit is consistent with standard UK sizing; however, since these are slip-ins, they are designed to have a slightly snug feel around the ankle to prevent slippage.
What makes the outsole special?
The Goodyear Performance Outsole is designed in collaboration with the tire company to provide improved traction, stability, and longevity compared to standard rubber soles.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while walking
Adjust the tension of the laces slightly to secure the fit, ensuring the Heel Pillow is properly positioned against your ankle.
Insoles feel damp or retain odor
Remove the Air-Cooled Goga Mat insoles and allow them to air dry separately in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Skechers Glide-Step trainers, keep the following in mind:
- Initial Fit: While designed as a slip-on, ensure the heel remains snug against the Heel Pillow. If the shoe feels loose, use the adjustable laces to lock in your preferred tension.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh upper. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid fully submerging in water or using harsh chemicals that could degrade the midsole foam.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the adhesive materials and rubber from drying out or discolouring.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the Goodyear outsole for trapped debris or small stones that could impact grip or damage the tread.
