FAQs
Are these shoes fully submersible?
No, the Skechers Adventurer Waterproof Walking Shoes are designed to keep your feet dry from surface water like rain and puddles. They are not intended for full submersion in deep water for extended periods.
How do I clean the waterproof membrane?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry completely. Avoid abrasive cleaners or heat, which can damage the waterproof properties.
What type of socks are best with these shoes?
For best comfort and moisture management, especially with waterproof shoes, wearing moisture-wicking socks made of synthetic blends or wool is recommended.
Can I wear these for actual hiking on trails?
These shoes are best suited for walking on established paths, light trails, and uneven urban surfaces. For rugged, off-trail hiking with significant elevation changes, specialized hiking boots would offer better support and protection.
How long does the waterproofing typically last?
The duration of waterproofing depends on usage and care. Regular cleaning and occasional re-application of a suitable waterproofing spray can help maintain the effectiveness of the water-resistant treatment.
What is the return policy if the size is incorrect?
Please refer to the specific retailer's return policy for information on exchanging or returning items due to incorrect sizing.
Troubleshooting
Feet still get wet despite being waterproof
Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any visible damage to the shoe material or seams that might compromise waterproofing. Prolonged submersion in deep water may exceed the shoe's waterproof rating.
Traction feels insufficient on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole treads to remove any embedded mud or debris, which can impair grip. For extremely slick conditions, consider reducing walking speed and exercising caution. These shoes are designed for general walking and may not provide the grip of specialized hiking boots on severe terrain.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause rubbing
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Try wearing them with appropriate walking socks. If discomfort persists, the shoes might require a short break-in period. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug, but not overly tight, fit.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the waterproof materials and adhesives.
