How Do I Clean My SKECHERS Shoes?

Created by Skecher Customer Support, Modified on Thu, 17 Jul at 4:08 PM by Skecher Customer Support

We want to help you care for your SKECHERS shoes properly so they stay looking and feeling great. Cleaning instructions vary by style and material — please refer to the product detail page for the most accurate care info. Here's a general guide based on shoe types:


? Machine Washable Shoes

If your shoes show the “Machine Washable” icon on the product page, you may follow these steps:

  • Place the shoes in a laundry bag or pillowcase (one shoe at a time is recommended to prevent color transfer).

  • Wash on a gentle, cold cycle.

  • Do not use bleach or strong detergents.

  • Air dry only – Do not use a dryer.

Memory Foam™ Note:
If your shoes have Skechers Memory Foam™ insoles, allow them to air dry for 10–12 hours to ensure they dry thoroughly and maintain shape.

Optional: Apply a water/stain protectant (like Skechers Water Proofer Spray) after cleaning to help maintain appearance.

? Important:
Some product pages may mention “machine washable” in the description but not display the official icon. If you're unsure, please reach out to us before washing to confirm — this can help avoid discoloration or damage.


? Foamies (EVA Styles)

  • Hand wash only using cold water and a soft cloth or brush.

  • Do not leave in direct sunlight and do not machine wash or dry.


? Performance Shoes & Other Non-Washable Styles

These are not recommended for machine washing. To clean:

  1. Brush off dirt using a soft brush or cloth.

  2. Mix warm water with mild detergent.

  3. Gently wipe the shoe with a cloth dipped in the soapy mixture.

  4. Pat dry with a towel and air dry in shade.
