FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Skechers Glide-Step® Pro - Waverra trainers are designed for comfort during walking and light activities. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for high-impact running.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with mild soap and water, followed by air drying, is the safest method to maintain the integrity of the materials.
What does 'vegan design' mean for these shoes?
A vegan design indicates that no animal-derived materials were used in the construction of the shoe. The materials used are synthetic or plant-based.
How do the tied-off stretch laces work?
These are elastic laces that are pre-tied and secured. They allow the shoe to function as a slip-on while providing a snug, adaptable fit without manual lacing.
How do I determine my UK shoe size?
Refer to Skechers' official sizing chart, which typically relates foot measurements (in cm or inches) to UK shoe sizes. You can usually find this on the Skechers website or product packaging.
What is the main benefit of the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole is engineered to provide a smooth transition from heel-strike to toe-off, enhancing the natural walking motion and contributing to a more comfortable stride.
Can I replace the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
Yes, the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is typically removable and can be replaced with your own preferred insoles or orthotics, provided they fit within the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Allow a brief break-in period. The materials are designed to conform to your foot shape over time. Ensure the stretch laces are not overly constricting.
Slight squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to the newness of the materials or friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole. Ensure the insole is properly seated.
Reduced cushioning over time
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may compress slightly with prolonged use. Consider using a replacement insole if significant cushioning loss is experienced. Ensure the original insole is clean and dry.
Difficulty removing the insole
Gently grip the heel of the insole and pull upwards. If it feels stuck, try using a thin, flat object (like a butter knife) to carefully pry up the edges. Ensure the shoe is completely dry before attempting removal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Simply try them on for fit. The stretch laces are secured and designed for a slip-on experience; they are not meant to be re-tied like traditional laces.
Compatibility: The Skechers Glide-Step® Pro - Waverra trainers are designed for adult males. They are suitable for a variety of casual and light athletic activities. Compatibility with specific orthotics may vary due to the cushioned insole; consider removing the insole if a custom orthotic is needed, provided it fits.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently clean the engineered jacquard mesh with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the midsole and outsole. For tougher marks, a soft brush can be used.
- Insole Care: The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can often be removed for spot cleaning with a damp cloth. Allow insoles to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
