Expensive & stink love the shoe but a money grab as there is no cleaning them!

Just ordered two more pairs this afternoon & then went on line as to how to clean my 8 week old ones as they stink! Had I known there is no way of getting rid of the smell, I would never of ordered more!

I am 58 & have never had smelly feet. I work as a care aide for old folk & I thought these were great, light weight, dry fast as I shower a lot of folks.

Wish I read reviews before I ordered more.

I can see this company going down fast unless they fix the smell problem. To bad, a nice shoe apart from that.

Reason of review: Not as described/ advertised.

Monetary Loss: $80.

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

Location: Westbank, British Columbia

First bought skechers in 2013 and no problems with stink. Now the last two pairs purchased in 2020 have a terrible stink, and I have washed them several times and there is no getting rid of the stink.

Its a shame as they are a comfortable shoe, but I will not be buying them again. Skechers get your act together and fix this problem or you will be out of business.

Its 2021 and they still stink! Fix this problem please!

I LOVE Skechers. I have a pair of slip on tennis shoes I bought around five years ago.

I wore these shows to walk all over Ireland. Then I kept them for walking around around. I finally retired them to the camper and bought a new pair. I have purchase the same pair of Skecher sandals three years in a row.

I wear them out by the end of summer. My husband just bought me a pair of Skecher slippers for Christmas. Now they STINK. OMG.

Fabreeze doesn't even help. Disgusting! None of my shoes or slippers have ever smelled. What is UP?

I will try washing but I may have to throw them out and go to WalMart for a different pair. Very Disappointed.

I recently bought some new Sketchers as I had been told the stink problem had been solved. Sadly this wasn't true. I wear several types of shoes but only the Sketchers stink.

My Skechers smell like puke

Guest

OMG- I just bought Skechers slip on tennis shoes for work and after 12 wearings, they smell very bad. I must get rid of them!

This is no joke.

What a waste of money. They need to fix this problem with poor insulated insoles or material quality.

I was wondering wth with my smelly feet. Iโ€™ve never had a foot odor before in my life.

Spent $70 on nice shows and they make sick to my stomach from the smell when I wear them.

As in can everyone else smell my feet bad?! I started looking online for a solution.

Yep all of mine do.

Just bought my first pair of Sketchers for a holiday as I have a trapped sciatic nerve with hip pain and walking is difficult. They came up in the top ten of a search for best walking/ travel shoes.

I have only now seen all the comments about stinky feet caused by the insoles, after they are worn. Is this still the case in September 2019? Canโ€™t believe manufacturers have not addressed this fault. Surely this makes the shoes โ€œNot fit for purposeโ€ if you get fungal/bacterial infections after walking in them.

All Sketchers should be recalled and compensation given.

After all, they are not cheap to buy. Also, does anyone know if Sketchers shoe deodorant works and can you buy it in the UK?

These are just outrageous. They smell so bad after a few wearings.

I have never had a foul odor from either my shoes or my feet. They are not to be worn or purchased.

The company has had years of complaints without addressing the problem which is quite serious. I want to see if amazon stands behind the two pair that I purchased.

I soaked my shoes in Dettol for awhile then spin dry in washing machine. After that I just air-dry them at the balcony.

This has been working well.

Dettol will help kill the germs. I heard someone spray them on the shoes after use daily and that works too.

Guest

My very first pair of Skechers, I think Go walk 2, were amazing! My feet didnโ€™t stink in them one bit and thatโ€™s one reason why I wore them day after day without any problem whatsoever.

They got an occasional wash in the washing machine .... came up like new. I just bought Gogamax a few weeks ago and already they stink and between my toes are in a mess. Definitely a production problem.

Get it sorted Skechers ... we wonโ€™t keep buying what our feet donโ€™t like!

Guest

Okay I just bought these work shoes last night. Must be comfortable because they have memory foam.

Real comfy but the smell is not. Smells like fish!!!

SHAME ON YOU PEOPLE SELLING THIS CRAP. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???
