Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step Vortex Avalin trainers are designed for active women who prioritize comfort and ease of movement during daily walks or light workouts. Featuring innovative geometric midsole cushioning and a convenient no-tie lacing system, these shoes provide a smooth, efficient stride with minimal effort. While the slip-on style offers great convenience, those requiring significant lateral ankle support for high-intensity sports should consider that these trainers are optimized primarily for forward-motion comfort.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but the mesh upper provides a forgiving fit.
Can I remove the insole to add my own orthotics?
Most Skechers trainers feature removable insoles, though we recommend checking the specific pair to ensure they are not glued.
Should I tumble dry the shoes after washing?
No, never tumble dry your trainers. Always air dry them to prevent the foam and glues from warping.
Are these suitable for running?
These are primarily designed for walking and casual athletic use rather than long-distance high-impact running.
What is the heel height?
The trainers feature a 1.5-inch heel height, providing a slight elevation for comfort.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels slightly too loose.
The bungee system is fixed, but you may use a slightly thicker athletic sock to fill the internal volume for a more secure feel.
The trainers have developed an odor after heavy use.
Utilize the machine-washable feature on a gentle cycle, or use a sneaker-safe deodorizing spray and allow them to air out in a well-ventilated area.
Midsole foam feels less responsive after long-term wear.
Ensure the outsoles are free from packed dirt or debris, which can sometimes impact the flexibility of the geometric design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers utilize a bungee lacing system, there is no initial setup required; simply slide the shoe on and the elastic tension will maintain a consistent fit. For care, these trainers are machine washable. To maintain the integrity of the materials:
- Remove any loose dirt or debris from the outsole.
- Place the shoes in a laundry bag to protect them during the cycle.
- Use a gentle, cold-water cycle with mild detergent.
- Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, as high temperatures can degrade the foam cushioning.
