FAQs
Are these boots suitable for snow?
The boots have water and stain resistance, but they are not designed for heavy snow or icy conditions. The outsole provides some traction, but specialized winter footwear is recommended for significant snow or ice.
Can I machine wash these boots?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, the water-repellent treatment, and the cushioning.
What does 'Relaxed Fit®' mean for sizing?
Relaxed Fit® indicates a more generous fit in the toe and forefoot area, providing extra room for comfort without changing the overall shoe size.
How do I best care for the suede-like upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Periodic application of a suede protector spray can help maintain its appearance and water resistance.
Is the vegan leather durable?
Vegan leather offers a cruelty-free alternative. While generally durable for everyday wear, it may not withstand extreme abrasion or prolonged exposure to harsh elements as well as genuine leather.
What is the heel height on this bootie?
This is a fashion wedge bootie, offering a stylish lift. Specific heel height details are not provided but are designed for comfortable wear.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
The Relaxed Fit® design offers a roomier fit. If still tight, wear with thinner socks or try a size up. Allow for a short break-in period.
Water not repelling effectively
The 3M® Scotchgard® treatment may have worn off. Reapply a suitable suede protector spray designed for water resistance, following the product's instructions.
Insole uncomfortable or flat
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed to conform to the foot over time. If discomfort persists, consider if a different sock thickness is needed or if a different insole insert might be preferable for your foot type.
Zipper is stiff or catching
Gently try to work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not bunched.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the suede-like upper with a soft, dry brush or cloth to remove dust and surface dirt. For tougher spots, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the treatment and material.
- Insole Care: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can typically be spot cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting into the boot.
