Featuring the signature Hands Free Slip-ins technology, these shoes offer a seamless transition from rest to movement, though the fit remains best suited for those who prefer a structured mesh upper rather than a traditional sock-like compression feel.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
Yes, but they should be washed on a gentle cycle in cold water and must be air-dried. Do not put them in the dryer.
Do I need to tie the laces every time?
No. The shoes are designed as slip-ins. Once you set the lace tension to your preference, you can slide in and out hands-free.
Is the Glide-Step Vortex suitable for wide feet?
The engineered mesh upper provides some stretch, but if you typically require a Wide or Extra Wide fit, you may find the standard fit snug.
Can I use these for marathon training?
While they are excellent for daily training and runs up to 10km, marathon training may require a shoe with more specialized arch stability.
What is the purpose of the Heel Pillow?
The Heel Pillow is designed to hold your foot securely in the shoe, preventing heel slip and providing comfort without needing to pull the shoe on manually.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping out while walking
Adjust the laces slightly tighter to ensure the Heel Pillow makes full contact with the back of your foot.
Midsole feeling less responsive over time
Ensure the outsoles are free from debris or compacted mud, which can affect the natural flex of the Glide-Step geometry.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt with a soft brush or a damp cloth.
- Machine Washing: While some Skechers trainers are machine washable, it is recommended to air dry them in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the foam midsole.
- Storage: Keep in a dry, ventilated area to preserve the integrity of the heel pillow and mesh materials.
