Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step® Pro - Waverra Trainers are designed for active adults seeking a blend of athletic performance and casual comfort. Their key benefit lies in the advanced cushioning and responsive Glide-Step® midsole, providing a smooth and energized stride. A potential caveat for some users might be the engineered jacquard mesh upper, which offers breathability but may be less water-resistant than other materials. These vegan-friendly trainers feature a geometric patterned upper, Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, and a slip-on design with tied-off stretch laces for easy wear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The Skechers Glide-Step® Pro - Waverra Trainers are designed for athletic activities and casual comfort, featuring responsive cushioning. However, for marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced motion control and shock absorption might be more appropriate.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and the structure of the shoe. Hand wash and air dry according to the care instructions.
What does 'vegan design' mean for these trainers?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the construction of these trainers.
How do I know if the size is correct if I can't adjust the laces?
The tied-off stretch laces are designed to provide a snug yet flexible fit. We recommend selecting your usual shoe size. If unsure, consult a sizing chart or try them on if possible.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The engineered jacquard mesh upper offers breathability, but it is not waterproof. These trainers are best suited for dry conditions or light moisture. They are not designed for heavy rain or wet environments.
How does the Glide-Step® midsole improve my walk?
The Glide-Step® midsole features a geometric design that helps to create a smoother transition from heel-strike to toe-off, promoting a more fluid and energized walking experience with enhanced cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Wear the shoes for short periods to allow the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole to conform to your foot shape. The engineered mesh upper also offers some flexibility.
Slight squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. It may resolve with continued wear. Ensure the insole is properly seated and dry. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole can sometimes help.
Dirt or scuff marks on the mesh upper
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a very mild soap solution. Gently scrub the affected area, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Always air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are designed for immediate use. Simply remove from the box and wear. The stretch laces provide a secure fit without the need for traditional tying.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stains, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly with the cloth, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can often be removed for spot cleaning with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Material Care: Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture. The engineered mesh is breathable but not waterproof.
