Product Information

Full details

The Skechers Glide-Step Vortex Avalin trainers are designed for adult women seeking a blend of high-performance comfort and effortless style for daily walking and light athletic activities. The primary benefit of these trainers is their geometric midsole and M-Strike technology, which work together to provide a smooth, natural transition from landing to toe-off. While they offer superior cushioning and a convenient no-tie lacing system, users should note that they are specifically optimized for athletic movement and may feel different than standard casual footwear due to the unique Glide-Step geometry.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these shoes be worn for long-distance running?

These are designed primarily for walking and light athletic activities, not high-mileage distance running.

How do I wash them?

Place them in a wash bag and use the gentle cycle on your machine with cold water. Air dry only.

Are the laces adjustable?

No, the bungee lacing system is a fixed, no-tie design that provides a stretch-to-fit experience.

What is the heel height?

The trainers feature a 1 1/2-inch heel height.

Are these shoes breathable?

Yes, they feature an athletic mesh upper which allows for significant airflow during wear.

Does the Glide-Step geometry work on all foot types?

While it is designed to aid most gaits, the benefit is most pronounced for neutral walkers looking for a smoother stride.

Troubleshooting

The shoe feels too tight across the bridge of the foot

Ensure the bungee laces are evenly distributed and not caught under the tongue of the shoe.

Odour buildup after frequent use

Machine wash the shoes on a delicate, cold cycle and ensure they are thoroughly air-dried before wearing again.

Loss of traction on wet surfaces

While the outsole is flexible and grippy, ensure you are walking carefully on smooth or polished wet surfaces to prevent slips.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return and smooth transition during walking
  • Lightweight construction prevents foot fatigue
  • Convenient slip-on style with secure bungee lacing
  • Machine washable for easy cleaning
  • Highly breathable upper material

Cons

  • Bungee laces are not adjustable for a custom tension
  • Geometric midsole may feel unstable on extremely uneven terrain
  • Not intended for high-intensity gym training or running

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers feature a bungee lacing system, meaning no initial setup or knot-tying is required. Simply slide your foot into the shoe, and the material will contour to your foot shape for a secure fit. For care, because the shoes are machine washable, it is recommended to place them in a laundry bag and wash on a gentle cycle using cold water. Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally, avoiding high heat or direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the foam cushioning and the structural adhesives. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the shape of the mesh upper.
