Full details
These Skechers Glide-Step Pro - Waverra trainers are designed for adult men seeking a comfortable and sporty shoe for casual wear and light training. The key benefit is the enhanced cushioning and responsive feel from the Glide-Step midsole combined with a breathable mesh upper. A potential caveat is that while versatile, they are best suited for non-intense activities due to their focus on comfort over heavy-duty support. Key features include a geometric jacquard mesh upper, Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole, and the signature Glide-Step midsole.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are best suited for walking, casual wear, and light training. While the Glide-Step midsole offers responsiveness, they may not provide the specific support and cushioning required for serious or long-distance running.
What does 'vegan design' mean for these shoes?
A vegan design means that no animal products or by-products were used in the construction of these shoes.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Wipe the mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution sparingly and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always air dry.
Can I adjust the stretch laces?
The laces are tied off for a secure fit and are not designed for frequent adjustment. You can gently manipulate the knot for minor adjustments, or re-tie them if a significant change in tension is needed.
What is the main benefit of the Glide-Step midsole?
The Glide-Step midsole is engineered to provide a smooth transition through your stride and a responsive, cushioned feel, enhancing overall comfort with every step.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture but not for heavy rain or wet environments.
What UK size is this specific product?
This specific product listing is for a UK size 5.5.
Troubleshooting
Tied-off laces feel too tight or too loose.
While not designed for significant adjustment, you can try gently pulling the knot to slightly loosen or tighten the laces. For a permanent change, consider carefully re-tying the laces to your preferred tension.
Shoes feel slippery on certain surfaces.
These trainers are designed for general use. For very smooth or wet surfaces, extra caution may be needed. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris, which can sometimes affect grip.
Insole feels less cushioned over time.
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may naturally compress slightly with extended use. Ensure you are following the care instructions for cleaning and drying to maximize its lifespan.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the appearance and performance of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and smudges from the engineered mesh upper. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth. Allow it to air dry completely.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can degrade the fabric and adhesives.
