How Do You Wash Memory Foam Shoes?

To wash memory foam shoes, especially those with Skechers Memory Foam™ insoles, you'll need to use a gentle approach. Here's a detailed guide:

Preparing to Wash Your Memory Foam Shoes

Gather Your Supplies:
- A bowl
- Lukewarm water
- Mild laundry detergent or soap

Prepare the Cleaning Solution: In a bowl, mix a small amount of mild laundry detergent or soap with lukewarm water. It's crucial to avoid hot water because it can damage the shoe's dye.
Clean the Shoes:

Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently wipe down the exterior of your shoes using the soapy water mixture.
For stubborn stains, you may need to gently scrub, but avoid harsh scrubbing which could damage the shoe's material.

Rinse Gently: Using a clean, damp cloth, wipe down the shoes to remove any soap residue.
Air Dry:
- Allow your memory foam shoes, especially those with Skechers Memory Foam™ insoles, to air dry for 10 to 12 hours. This ensures that the insoles are fully dry and prevents mildew and odors.
- Do not place them in direct sunlight or use a dryer, as these can damage the memory foam.

Avoid Machine Washing: Do not wash memory foam shoes in a washing machine unless the manufacturer specifically states otherwise. Machine washing can damage both the shoes and the memory foam.
Do not use harsh chemicals or cleaning agents. These could damage your shoes.
Always check the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions. Specific shoes may have cleaning guidelines that should be followed.
Allow Thorough Drying: Insufficient drying can lead to mold and unpleasant odors. Make sure the shoes are fully dried before wearing.

By following these steps, you can keep your memory foam shoes clean and in good condition.
