But before I give my own take (as well as other experts’ opinions), it’s probably best for me to share information on how to clean Skechers from the people who know them best: Skechers!

The latter method can only be a viable option for machine-washable shoes. I have tried both tricks and they worked wonders for me. Let’s see if that also applies to you.

  • Dip your soft brush into the mixture
  • Brush the shoes again, this time with the soapy mixture that you’ve made
  • Wipe the shoes to get rid of the soapy mixture and stains with a microfiber cloth
  • Leave your shoes and let them dry

You can clean your Goga Mat shoes with a washing machine. But as an alternative, I’ll give you a trick to clean them manually. From my experience, this method will produce a clean and satisfying result for your Skechers. 

ANOTHER WAY TO CLEAN SKECHERS SHOES

There are a lot of ways that you can clean your Skechers. I myself have my own way of cleaning my own pair of Skechers. If you want to try it, stick around as I discuss the detailed steps, as well as the necessary kits that you can use to do the job. 

A. CLEANING KITS THAT YOU CAN USE AS WELL AS THEIR FUNCTIONS

• Shoe Cleaner: A special shoe detergent needed to clean your favorite and precious Skechers. You can use other mild detergents as well. But in my experience, a shoe cleaner will be the best option in the market
• Apron: Not an obligatory item, but it will come in handy when we’re talking about keeping your shirt clean while washing your Skechers. I find it really useful as I’m quite clumsy when it comes to cleaning shoes!
• Premium Brush: Used to clean the upper part of your Skechers that is usually made up of canvas, suede, leather, synthetic leather, mesh, knit, nubuck, and many more. 
• Medium Brush: Used to clean your sneaker’s midsole section. 
• Standard Brush: Used to clean your sneaker’s outsole section.
• Small Brush or Toothbrush: This type of brush will come in handy when it comes to cleaning the inner part of your sneakers that is usually hard to reach. 
• Microfiber Cloth: Used to wipe Skechers clean from dirt and stains. 
• Shoe Tree: Essential item to keep your sneaker’s basic structure intact. 
• Container/Pan: Used to store water that will be mixed with Shoe Perfume in order to generate a certain odor for your Skechers. I love using shoe perfume as my shoes will often produce a bad odor. A shoe perfume will help freshen things up

B. SKECHERS ANATOMY AND REASONS TO USE CLEANING KIT FOR EACH PART OF YOUR SKECHERS

• The Upper Part of Your Skechers: As the name states, it’s the upper part of your Skechers. You need to use two different brushes to clean this part. Premium Brush will be used to prevent damage to the upper part of your sneakers. a small brush will come in handy when you’re trying to wipe additional stains that are small.

• Midsole: The side sole section of Your Skechers. To clean the midsole, we suggest you use Medium Brush, as midsoles can often get damaged and dirty due to usage.

• Outsole, or the lower part of Your Skechers: To clean Skechers outsole, you can use a standard brush that is strong and sturdy. This way, dirt and stains from your outsole might be cleaned easily. 

• Insole: The inner part of your Skechers that also acts as a cushion to make your foot more comfortable. It’s better to remove the insoles from your sneakers before cleaning them. However, don’t force it if it’s not possible. To clean the insole, you can use a premium brush as well as a toothbrush, as they can reach parts that are harder to clean. 

C. HOW TO CLEAN SKECHERS AND MAKE THEM COMFORTABLE FOR YOUR FEET

• Prepare the Skechers that you want to clean:

A pair of dirty Skechers that need to be freshened up. 

• Prepare the cleaning kits needed to clean your sneakers:

Prepare the Shoe Cleaner, apron, Premium Brush, Medium Brush, Standard Brush, Small Brush, Microfiber Cloth, 2 pieces of Shoe Tree, and a container to store water and Shoe Perfume. 

• Remove the laces from your Skechers

It’s essential to remove the laces from your Skechers before starting the cleaning process. Laces need to be cleaned separately, so make sure to do it later on. 

This is an essential step, as a Shoetree will be important to maintain the shape of your Skechers when they’re being washed. However, make sure to remove the insole before inserting a shoe tree. 

Before washing the sneakers with water, we need to brush the upper part and midsole with a premium brush to wipe off debris and dirt that is often found on your Skechers. 

• Wash the Outsole and Midsole

During this cleaning stage, you can use a Standard Brush. Make sure to use all your strength when cleaning the outsole, as it’s naturally the dirtiest part of a shoe.

As soon as you have finished cleaning the outsole, you can proceed by cleaning the midsole with a Medium Brush. This time, patience and diligence are needed, as there will be a lot of dirty spots that are hard to clean.  

• Wash the Outer and Inner Part of the Upper Part of Your Skechers

To clean the outer part, I usually use a Premium Brush to complete the job. Premium brush needs to be used gently in order to avoid any damages and scratches to your shoes. After cleaning the outer part, you can wipe it clean with a microfiber by tapping it gently on the surface of your shoes. 

Cleaning the inner part of your Skechers might be a little bit trickier. Worry not, as you can use a small brush to reach the narrow part of your shoes. Same as the outer part, you can wipe the inner part clean after brushing it with a microfiber cloth.

Use a wet microfiber cloth to clean details on your sneakers that are dirty, which are normally found on your midsole or outsole. Clean the laces as well. You can soak the laces inside a water that has been mixed with Shoe Cleaner. After waiting for some time, clean it and squeeze it a bit to remove the water. Finally, you can dry it off with a microfiber cloth.

Dry off your shoes by using a fan. As an alternative, you can also dry it by waving your hands or placing the shoes in a cold area with minimal moisture. Try not to dry the sneakers by placing it under direct sunlight, as it can damage the glue or paint of said shoes. 

Once all necessary parts are dry, then you can place the insole back inside the shoe. The same thing also goes for the laces. Now, your shoe is back in action and looks fresh again!

D. DO’S AND DON’TS

Do’s

• Rub your shoes gently. As Obi-Wan said it best, use your feelings! Skechers are made from sensitive materials, which are prone to damages and scratches
• Use a Premium Brush to clean the upper part of your shoes. You can use other soft brushes as well. However, make sure to stay away from rough or standard brush
• Make sure to know the material that made up your shoes. Different Skechers models have different kinds of material. Each material would require different attention, so make sure not to ignore it. 

Don’ts

• Don’t brush with blunt strength. Make sure to do it slowly and carefully in order to prevent damage 
• Don’t use the shoes outdoors. Despite its comfortable material, Skechers are basically lightweight and thin. There’s a high chance that it might hurt your feet.  

E. SHOECARE

• Don’t store your Skechers in a moist area
• Clean your shoes directly after usage. Dirt and stains can stick on your shoes when they’re not cleaned quickly, making them hard to clean
• Don’t insert your Skechers inside a dryer. 
• Don’t leave your shoes under direct contact with the sunlight

ARE MOST SKECHERS MACHINE WASHABLE?

I can’t say that most Skechers are machine washable. However, I do know that some models can be washed inside a washing machine. For those of you who are unsure if your models are viable for machine wash, please check their product information. Skechers shoes that are machine-washable should have a description written on them. 

Cleaning a pair of Skechers with a washing machine will do you wonders. As a matter of fact, I love using a washing machine to clean them. It saves time. Plus, it produces a satisfactory result for me. I have mentioned a way to clean your Skechers with a washing machine before in this article (several times, in fact). For those of you wondering, start searching!

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR SKECHERS

The point of cleaning your Skechers and making them stay fresh is to make them look presentable as well as preserve their condition. However, cleaning them isn’t the only thing necessary to protect your Skechers. Here are some things that you should do to make them safe and long-lasting.

• Use your shoes for indoor activities. Sometimes, I use them for outdoor activities as well, but avoid bad environment that are filled with mud and other kind of dirt
• Avoid leaving them under direct contact with the sunlight
• Clean your shoes regularly, but not too often. If you use them everyday, you can clean them once every week or two. But if you rarely use them, then clean them directly after usage

HOW TO DEODORIZE AND FRESHEN UP YOUR SKECHERS

There are a lot of reasons for your shoes to produce bad odor. Your sweaty feet can play a part. On the other hand, Skechers that are not cleaned regularly can also produce a bad odor due to mud, stains, and many more. If you want to deodorize your Skechers, then make sure to buy a deodorizing spray for shoes. After you have cleaned your shoes, simply spray them with your awesome deodorizing spray. After using it, my shoes have stayed fresh and feel like brand new items.
