FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these trainers are designed for casual comfort and everyday wear. They lack the specific support and cushioning required for high-impact activities like running.
Can I adjust the laces?
The laces on this model are decorative and tied off. They cannot be adjusted for a tighter or looser fit.
What makes the 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' feature work?
The design incorporates a unique heel structure (the Heel Pillow®) that holds its shape, allowing you to slide your foot in without touching the shoe with your hands, while the heel stays securely in place.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It's recommended to try them on if possible. Check the UK sizing guide provided by Skechers. For this specific variant, the size is UK 7.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the upper is made of fabric and duraleather, which are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
What is the difference between Glide-Step® and regular Skechers midsoles?
The Glide-Step® midsole features a unique geometric design intended to provide a smoother stride transition and enhanced flexibility compared to more traditional midsole constructions.
Can I remove the Memory Foam® insole?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is typically removable, allowing for easier cleaning or replacement if needed.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is fully retracted and wear thin socks. If still snug, try inserting a shoehorn briefly to help mold the heel area.
Insole feels flat or less cushioned
The Memory Foam® insole may need time to mold to your foot's shape. If the issue persists after a few wears, check for debris under the insole and ensure it's properly seated.
Slight odor development
Remove insoles and air out the shoes. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake out thoroughly.
Upper fabric looks dirty
Refer to the care instructions. Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution and a soft brush for gentle cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Compatibility: Designed for adult female feet, these trainers are suitable for general casual wear. They are not recommended for specialized athletic activities like running, basketball, or trail hiking.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Skechers Glide-Step Trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the air-quilted fabric and duraleather with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Insole Care: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can often be removed for spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help them retain their shape and absorb moisture during drying.
- Avoid Machine Washing/Drying: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
