FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
No, the suede upper of the Skechers Relaxed Fit: Easy Going - Cool Zip Boots is not naturally waterproof. It is highly recommended to treat them with a water and stain repellent specifically designed for suede to protect them from light moisture and spills.
How do I clean the suede material?
For basic cleaning, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be used. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage suede.
What does "Relaxed Fit®" mean?
Skechers Relaxed Fit® means the boot offers a roomier, more comfortable fit in the toe and forefoot area, while still providing a snug fit at the heel. This design allows for natural toe splay and enhanced comfort.
Can I wear these boots in the snow?
These boots are designed for warmth in cold, *dry* conditions. While the faux fur lining provides insulation, the suede upper is not ideal for heavy snow or slush unless it's been thoroughly treated with a high-quality water repellent. For prolonged exposure to snow, a fully waterproof boot would be more suitable.
What is Air-Cooled Memory Foam®?
Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® is a proprietary cushioned insole that provides enhanced comfort through pressure relief and impact absorption. It also features perforations or breathable materials to help keep your feet cool by allowing air circulation.
Are these boots true to size?
Skechers Relaxed Fit® boots are generally considered true to size in length, but offer a more generous fit in the width and toe box. If you typically wear a half size, you might find your usual size comfortable due to the relaxed fit.
Can the faux fur lining be removed for cleaning?
No, the faux fur lining in these boots is permanently attached and cannot be removed. For cleaning, gently wipe the fur with a damp cloth if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slightly tight or uncomfortable initially.
Allow for a short break-in period. The Relaxed Fit® design and Memory Foam insole are designed to conform to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially.
Suede upper appears dirty or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, gently use a suede eraser. Apply a new layer of suede protector after cleaning to prevent future stains.
Feet feel cold despite faux fur lining.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the temperature. Wool or thermal socks can significantly enhance warmth. Also, ensure the boots are not excessively damp inside.
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to move.
Ensure no fabric or faux fur is caught in the zipper teeth. For stiffness, you can apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a zipper lubricant along the teeth.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
While the rubber sole offers good traction, no boot is entirely slip-proof. Exercise caution on very wet, icy, or highly polished surfaces. Check the tread for wear; excessive wear can reduce grip.

Compatibility

Ideal for casual walks, shopping, or social gatherings. They are not recommended for heavy outdoor activities, very wet environments, or professional work settings requiring specific safety footwear.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your boots:
- Suede Protection: Before first wear and periodically thereafter, treat the suede upper with a high-quality water and stain repellent specifically designed for suede. This creates a barrier against moisture and dirt.
- Cleaning Suede: For minor dirt or scuffs, use a suede brush to gently rub in one direction. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners directly on suede.
- Faux Fur Care: The faux fur lining can be gently wiped with a damp cloth if needed. Avoid saturating the fur.
- Drying: If the boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with boot trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
