Product Information
Full details
The Skechers UNO Glide-Step - Air Gliders are designed for adult males seeking exceptional comfort and a convenient slip-on style for daily wear. Their key benefit is the 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' technology, allowing for effortless on and off, complemented by superior cushioning. A potential caveat is that the engineered mesh upper, while breathable, may offer less structure than traditional lace-up trainers for intense athletic activities.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for comfort and casual wear, featuring a cushioned sole. While suitable for light jogging, they may not provide the specialized support and stability required for serious or long-distance running.
How do I clean the engineered mesh upper?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently clean the mesh. Avoid soaking the shoe. Allow to air dry completely.
Can I adjust the fit of the laces?
The laces on this model are decorative and pre-tied for a slip-on fit. They are not designed to be adjusted for a tighter or looser fit.
What makes the Glide-Step® midsole special?
The Glide-Step® midsole features a geometric design that promotes a smoother stride and provides excellent shock absorption, contributing to overall comfort.
How does the Heel Pillow® work?
The Heel Pillow® is an internal component designed to cradle the heel, enhancing comfort and securing the foot within the shoe when you slip them on hands-free.
What is the Skech-Air® airbag?
The Skech-Air® airbag is a visible air-cushioned unit integrated into the midsole, offering additional shock absorption and a distinctive aesthetic.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insoles are typically removable, allowing for easier cleaning or the option to use custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the Heel Pillow® area is clear. If the shoe feels tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if the stretch laces are obstructing entry. Gently pull the back tab if available.
Discomfort or rubbing
Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Ensure socks are worn to prevent friction. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.
Reduced cushioning over time
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may compress slightly with heavy use. Try removing and airing out the insole. If significant compression occurs, consider replacing the insole.
Slight odor
Remove the insoles and air them out separately. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure feet are dry before wearing.
