FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Skechers Glide-Step® Pro - Waverra trainers are best suited for walking, casual wear, and light fitness activities. For intense running or high-impact sports, specialized running shoes would provide optimal support and cushioning.
How do I clean the geometric pattern?
The geometric pattern is integrated into the shoe's material. Machine washing on a gentle cycle with cold water is the recommended method for cleaning the entire shoe, including the patterned areas. Ensure they are air-dried afterwards.
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.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insoles are typically removable. You can replace them with your preferred insoles if needed, provided they are of a similar size and shape.
How durable is the mesh upper?
The engineered jacquard mesh upper is designed for breathability and flexibility. While durable for its intended use, it is susceptible to snags from sharp objects. Avoid abrasive surfaces and sharp materials.
What is the main difference between the Glide-Step® midsole and traditional foam?
The Glide-Step® midsole features a unique geometric design intended to provide a smoother, more responsive transition from heel to toe with each step, enhancing walking comfort compared to standard foam cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
The stretch laces are tied off to provide a secure fit. If you need a slight adjustment, you can carefully loosen or tighten the knot on the laces. For significant fit issues, consider a different size.
Insole feels flat after initial use.
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed to mold to your foot over time for personalized comfort. If it feels too firm initially, wear them for short periods to allow them to break in. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
Mesh upper appears damaged.
The engineered jacquard mesh is durable but can be snagged. Avoid contact with sharp objects. If minor damage occurs, check care instructions for gentle cleaning. For significant tears, repair may not be feasible.
Machine washing causes discoloration or damage.
Always use cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Ensure shoes are placed in a mesh bag. Air dry only; do not tumble dry. Follow care instructions strictly to prevent damage.
