Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for comfort and performance in daily activities, light gym workouts, and walking. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered as high-performance running shoes.
How do I know if the vegan design is right for me?
The vegan design means no animal-derived materials were used in the construction. If you prioritize ethical and sustainable choices in your footwear, this feature is a key benefit.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing the insoles and spot cleaning the upper with a damp cloth is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the main advantage of the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole is engineered with a geometric design to provide enhanced comfort and a smooth, supportive stride, making movement feel more effortless.
How do the stretch laces work?
The laces are pre-tied and made of a stretchable material, offering a secure slip-on fit. They provide a degree of flexibility but are not adjustable like traditional laces.
What is the difference between Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® and regular Memory Foam?
Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insoles include perforations and enhanced airflow channels to help keep feet cooler and more comfortable compared to standard Memory Foam.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the engineered jacquard 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.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit initially
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods. The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole and mesh upper will conform to your foot shape over time.
Laces feel too loose or too tight
While not adjustable like traditional laces, the tied-off stretch laces are designed for a secure yet flexible fit. Ensure your foot is positioned correctly inside the shoe. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider if this style meets your specific lacing preference needs.
Odors developing
Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing. Remove the insoles periodically to air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then tap out any excess.
Reduced cushioning over time
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed for durability, but its cushioning properties can diminish with extensive use. Consider replacing the insoles if significant loss of comfort is experienced.

Care Instructions: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Skechers Glide-Step® Pro - Waverra trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains on the mesh, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by gentle wiping with a clean cloth.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can often be removed. Hand wash it with mild soap and cool water, then allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the material.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers. Never place them in a clothes dryer or near direct heat sources, as this can deform the shoe or damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
