How do I keep my Skechers clean?
We want you to enjoy your Skechers for as long as possible. Following some simple steps to look after them will keep them looking good, well into the future.
1. How to protect your Skechers:
Spray your Skechers with our Skechers Waterproofing Spray prior to wear. Spray thoroughly, then leave them to dry for 10 minutes before applying a second coat. We recommend doing this after every 6-7 wears to keep them protected.
2. How to clean your Skechers:- Machine Washable Skechers: Styles which specifies "Machine Washable" under it's 'Product Details' (see example below) can be safely machine washed on a gentle cycle and air-dried

- We suggest placing them in a pillowcase or laundry bag before machine washing

-
For shoes with Skechers Memory Foam™ insoles, allow shoes and insoles to air dry for 10 to 12 hours to ensure the insoles are fully dry
-
Nylon/Mesh Skechers (not specified as "Machine Washable"): If your Skechers are not machine washable, we do not recommend putting your Skechers into the washing machine
-
- Remove excess dirt from the upper and outsole by using a small brush or towel
- Create a soapy mixture by combining warm water and a small amount of laundry detergent
- Using a bristle brush or cloth, gently work soapy mixture into dirty areas
- Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe off the excess soap and cleanser

Are Skechers insoles removable?
Most Skechers have insoles that are securely glued in and are not designed to be easily removed.
However, our Arch Fit range features a supportive insole designed to be easily taken out so that you can insert your own orthotic or insole.
- Shop Womens Arch Fit HERE.
- Shop Mens Arch Fit HERE.
How can I tell if a Skechers shoe features a removable insole?
Skechers that feature an easily removable insole will state this in the Product Details online. If you're shopping on your mobile phone, you can access the Product Details by clicking 'INFO' at the top right of the product photo.Will Skechers accommodate my orthotics?
In Skechers that do not feature removable insoles, our Goga Mat and Memory Foam insoles are held in by about 5 points of glue. These insoles can be forcefully removed, however doing so will make them ineligible for return and will remove the cushioning which our Skechers are most famous for.

What is my US size?
Skechers is an American brand so we primarily show US sizing. Skechers are true to size, and we always recommend purchasing your regular US size.
To help you determine your US size, we recommend checking the size tag under the tongue of your current pair of shoes. Most shoes sold in Australia are from American brands and are therefore likely to show the US size listed together with the equivalent UK and EU sizes.
We recommend using our comprehensive sizing guide to measure the length of your foot to help determine the US size that you need in Skechers.
If you have any concerns about fit, contact our Skechers Experts below.
