FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for serious running or marathon training?
The Skechers Glide-Step® Vortex - Avalin trainers are designed for streamlined cushioned comfort and stride efficiency, making them ideal for light jogging, walking, and everyday wear. For serious or marathon training, more specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning might be recommended.
What does 'vegan design' mean for these shoes?
A vegan design means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the construction of these trainers.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and water, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.
Can I adjust the fit of the laces?
These trainers feature fixed stretch laces, designed for convenience and a secure fit without manual adjustment. They are meant to provide a slip-on like experience with a secure hold.
What is M-Strike® technology?
M-Strike® technology is integrated into the midsole to promote a smoother transition through your stride, helping to reduce impact and improve running efficiency.
What size are these specific trainers?
This guide specifically focuses on the Skechers Glide-Step® Vortex - Avalin trainers in a women's UK size 3.5, light blue color.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers feature an athletic mesh upper, which is designed for breathability. They are not waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
While the laces are fixed, the fit should be snug yet comfortable. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is slightly off, consider if thicker or thinner socks might improve comfort.
Discomfort during initial wear.
New athletic shoes can sometimes require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to mold to your feet.
Material shows signs of wear quickly.
These trainers are designed for light to moderate activity. Excessive wear and tear may occur if used for strenuous training or in harsh conditions. Adhering to care instructions can help prolong the life of the materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for optimal fit.
Compatibility: Designed primarily as women's athletic trainers for light running and comfortable walking. They are suitable for adult wear.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and hotmelt overlay upper with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use mild soap and water, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the midsole and outsole. Ensure all soap residue is removed.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape while drying.
- Laces: The fixed stretch laces do not require removal for cleaning. Wipe them clean with a damp cloth if necessary.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
