FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Glide-Step Vortex - Avalin trainers feature a standard fit. While the mesh upper offers some flexibility, they may not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet. Fixed stretch laces also limit adjustability.
What is the main benefit of Glide-Step® technology?
Glide-Step® technology is designed to provide a lightweight and smooth transition through your stride, enhancing overall comfort and reducing fatigue during movement.
How do I know if the UK size 6.5 is the right fit?
It is recommended to try the shoes on to ensure a comfortable fit. Check Skechers' sizing chart for accurate conversions and consider your typical athletic shoe fit. As this is a UK 6.5, ensure this aligns with your usual sizing.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is typically removable, allowing for the insertion of custom orthotics if needed, provided they are of a similar thickness.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the athletic mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions or light moisture.
What does 'vegan design' mean for these trainers?
A vegan design means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these trainers.
How often should I replace my running trainers?
For optimal performance and injury prevention, running trainers are generally recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles, or when cushioning and support feel significantly diminished.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or too loose.
While the laces are fixed stretch, ensure your foot is positioned correctly within the shoe. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a different size or model.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.
Over time, cushioning can compress. Ensure the shoes are appropriate for your activity level and consider replacement if they feel significantly less supportive.
Discomfort in the arch area.
The M-Strike® technology and Goga Mat™ insole are designed for support. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct shoe size and consider if the shoe's support profile suits your foot type.
Mesh upper appears dirty.
Spot clean the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent dirt, follow the general care instructions for cleaning the upper.
