Product Information
Full details
These Skechers Glide-Step Gratify - Pace trainers are designed for adult women seeking effortless, everyday comfort with a slip-on design. The key benefit is the Hands Free Slip-ins® technology combined with a cushioned insole and supportive midsole for all-day wear. A potential caveat is that the stretch-laced front is fixed, offering a snug fit but not adjustable lacing. Key features include the innovative Heel Pillow® for easy on/off, an engineered mesh upper for breathability, and Skechers' signature Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense exercise?
The Skechers Glide-Step Gratify - Pace trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning for walking, they may not provide the specialized support and stability required for high-impact activities like running or rigorous gym workouts.
Can I adjust the laces on these trainers?
No, the laces on these trainers are fixed stretch laces and are decorative. The shoe is designed as a slip-on, and the laces do not offer adjustable tightness.
How do I clean the Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®?
You can clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the insole, it's best to remove it and hand wash with cold water and mild soap, then air dry. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
What is the 'Heel Pillow®' feature?
The Heel Pillow® is a soft cushioning component integrated into the heel collar of the shoe. It ensures a comfortable and secure fit around the ankle and contributes significantly to the shoe's hands-free slip-on capability.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. These trainers are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
What makes the Glide-Step® midsole special?
The Glide-Step® midsole is engineered to provide a smoother transition from heel to toe with each step. It offers responsive cushioning that enhances comfort during walking and helps reduce foot fatigue.
What are the main benefits of the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
This insole provides enhanced cushioning and comfort by molding to the shape of your foot. The 'Air-Cooled' aspect refers to its breathable design, which helps to keep your feet cool and dry.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose in the heel.
While the lacing is fixed, the shoe's design and the Heel Pillow® aim for a secure fit. Ensure you have the correct size. If the heel slips, consider wearing thicker socks or exploring inserts designed to improve heel grip.
Reduced cushioning after prolonged use.
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may compress over time. Ensure the insoles are clean and dry, as moisture can affect cushioning. If significant degradation occurs, consider replacing the insoles with compatible Skechers insoles.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained.
Gently spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the entire shoe. For persistent stains, consult the care instructions for specific cleaning methods.
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® area is clear. Try wearing thinner socks, or use a shoehorn discreetly to guide your heel into place without compromising the shoe's structure.
