Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step Vortex Avalin Trainers are designed for active adults seeking a blend of natural momentum and cloud-like comfort in their daily footwear. Featuring advanced M-Strike technology and a responsive geometric midsole, these trainers provide an efficient, smooth transition from landing to toe-off. While they offer exceptional comfort for walking and light athletic activities, users should note that the slip-on bungee design is best suited for casual or fitness-focused use rather than intense high-performance athletic training.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for natural momentum and walking. While they are great for light activity, they are not specialized running shoes.
Are these shoes vegan?
Yes, the Glide-Step Vortex Avalin series is constructed from vegan materials.
How heavy are these trainers?
These trainers are ultra-lightweight, weighing approximately 8.8 ounces per shoe.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, do not tumble dry these shoes. Air drying is essential to prevent damage to the cushioned midsole.
Do I need to tie the laces?
No, these feature a convenient no-tie bungee lacing system for a secure, slip-on experience.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 1 1/2 inches, with an 8mm offset to support natural gait.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels too loose.
The bungee laces are pre-tensioned. If they feel loose, ensure your heel is pushed completely into the back of the shoe. If slippage continues, consider using an additional athletic insole for a tighter fit.
The shoes have become dirty after use.
These trainers are machine washable. Use a delicate cycle with cold water and ensure you air dry them away from direct sunlight.
Squeaking sounds during walking.
This is often caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the shoe interior. Remove the insole, wipe the interior clean, and allow both to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Skechers Glide-Step Vortex Avalin Trainers utilize a bungee lacing system, there is no manual setup required. Simply slide your foot into the shoe, and the system automatically adjusts for a snug, secure fit.
For care and maintenance, the shoes are machine washable. To preserve the longevity of the materials and cushioning:
- Remove any loose dirt or debris with a soft brush before washing.
- Use a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent.
- Always air dry in a cool, shaded area. Avoid placing the shoes in a tumble dryer or directly on a heat source, as high heat can damage the foam midsole.
