Machine Washable Shoes: Any style with the "Machine Washable" icon shown on the product detail page can be safely machine washed on the gentle cycle and air-dried, we suggest placing them in a pillowcase or laundry bag before washing in machine. Please wash shoes one at a time to avoid discoloration. Do not place shoes in dryer. For shoes with Skechers Memory Foam™ insoles, allow shoes and insoles to air dry for 10 to 12 hours to ensure the insoles are fully dry. Apply a protectant such as Skechers Water Proofer Spray to protect the shoes from water and stains.

Foamies: Machine wash or hand wash according to instructions on product page for style. If hand wash, use cold water and air dry in shade. Do not place in dryer and do not leave out in the sun.

Shoes Not Marked as Machine Washable: To maintain the quality of your purchase of our shoes, we do not recommend machine washing. We suggest the following steps for any minor cleaning to our shoes:

1. Remove excess dirt from the upper and outsole by using a small brush or towel.

2. Create a soapy mixture by combining warm water and a small amount (a few drops) laundry detergent.

3. Dip the brush or cloth into the soapy mixture. Wipe down the affected area. Apply a small amount of clean, warm water with the brush or cloth and brush/wipe off the excess soap.

4. Allow shoes to air dry.

Leather Shoes: Apply a protectant such as Skechers Water Proofer Spray to protect the shoes from water and stains before wearing in wet conditions. Use a leather cleaning lotion or spray such as Skechers Athletic Cleanser to clean. Apply a leather lotion or oil periodically to keep the leather supple. Do not machine wash leather shoes.

Suede or Nubuck Shoes: Brush dry suede/nubuck shoes with a soft brush or dry rubber sponge to remove any clinging dirt. Regular use of a soft brush will keep the nap of the suede free from dust. Stubborn stains should be removed with a commercial stain remover suitable for suede. DO NOT put in the washing machine or dryer. DO NOT immerse in water. Apply a protectant such as Skechers Water Proofer Spray to protect the shoes from water and stains before wearing in wet conditions. Use a suede/nubuck cleaning product to clean shoes. Brush with a suede brush for best results. 

Light-Up Shoes: Machine washing light-up shoes is not advised as it may damage the lights.  Clean with mild soap, warm water and a soft cloth.

Keeping Shoes Fresh: Apply a deodorizing spray such as Skechers Odor Eliminator Spray to keep shoes fresh and odor-free.

We're sorry for the inconvenience, however, we do not sell or stock replacement laces at this time. Our shoes fit any standard laces you can find at your local merchants, such as sporting goods or retail stores, that carry shoe accessories. You can also try your nearest Skechers store as we may have extras available.

Pay close attention to the care instructions provided with each article of Skechers clothing. Following the care instructions will help maintain the fit and feel, as well as extend the life of your clothing.

Always wash and iron your Skechers clothing inside out to protect the printed graphics and embroidery from damage.

To return an item(s) purchased at a Skechers Retail Store, bring the unworn item(s) back to the store of purchase with the original receipt and box. You will have the option to exchange the item(s) or return your purchase for a full refund/credit.

  3. information obtained for a reference person that we may contact in the context of your hiring process (as required and in accordance with local laws). 

How we will use information about you

Your personal data may be stored and processed by Skechers prior to entering a contractual relationship with you in order to:

• consider the application that you provided to us and assess your capabilities and qualifications for the job to which you apply; and 
• communicate with you and provide you with updates on the recruitment process, potential interviews, information you requested about the job and our activities, and if your application is retained, providing you with a job offer. 

Skechers may also have the legal obligation to process your personal data, in order to perform appropriate formalities required by applicable law or regulation, for instance if any verifications of your right to work in the relevant country are required. 

In the event that you do not provide the information necessary for our contractual relationship and/or which are required under the applicable legislation, we may not be able to further pursue the assessment of your job application, and we might not be able to hire you.

Skechers will also process your personal data when it is justified by our legitimate business interests (or the legitimate interests of one or more of our affiliates), and in particular:

• organising your registration on our Careers page and using its features to allow you to search and apply for jobs at Skechers in order to ensure that the recruitment process is efficient and that appropriate candidates for a job are effectively identified;
• sharing information relating to your application with other affiliates of the Skechers Group in order to maintain consistent practices and procedures with respect to the recruitment of personnel across the Skechers Group;
• monitoring your use of the Careers page in order to protect the security and stability of the Careers page;
• where necessary, exercising appropriate legal actions and remedies for the establishment, exercise and defence of Skecher’s legal claims;
• where necessary, enabling due diligences operations carried out by a third party, and more generally the operations relating to the transfer of our activities in a context of transactions or operations on Skecher’s assets or activities which are performed to ensure the group’s profitability and viability.

Please note, if your application is successful and you are subsequently offered and accept employment at Skechers, the information we collect during the application and recruitment process will be used for the purpose of the hiring process and mandatory formalities, and it will also become part of your employment record. 

If your application is not successful, we may retain your application data for up to two years after the end of the recruitment process so that we can notify you of relevant future job vacancies. We rely on our legitimate interest in identifying and contacting suitable candidates for future opportunities. You may object to this processing at any time by contacting us in accordance with the “Contacting us” section below.

How we use particularly sensitive personal information 

Where appropriate we will use your particularly sensitive personal information in the following ways:

• We use information about disability to consider whether we need to provide appropriate adjustments during the recruitment process, for example whether adjustments need to be made during an interview.
• We use information about racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, disability or sexual orientation to ensure meaningful equal opportunity monitoring and reporting. 

Automated decision-making and profiling

You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making. We use third party software tools  to assist in processing candidate data and to provide ratings and scores to assist in recruitment decisions but do not make autonomous hiring decisions without human review.  The providers of any third party tools act as a data processor on behalf of Skechers, processing candidate data to provide services such as candidate matching, scoring, and recruitment analytics.

Please note that where third-party tools use artificial intelligence ("AI”) to assist us in the recruitment process, this helps us with certain processing activities including to:

• match candidates or prospective candidates to open vacancies; and
• enable more effective review of candidates’ or prospective candidates’ profiles if permitted by applicable law.

The processing of your data by AI will involve profiling operations concerning you. Profiling involves analysing the data we have collected about a given individual in order to evaluate certain personal aspects, such as performance at work. The AI tools we use will analyse the content of the information provided as part of your application and categorise your application to assess how well it matches the position you are applying for. This categorisation will help guide HR managers in reviewing the applications they receive. 

Through the implementation of this profiling, we pursue our legitimate interest in efficiently managing the large volume of applications we regularly receive. You may object at any time to the processing of your data for profiling purposes by submitting a request to the service indicated in the 'Contact us' section below.

Data sharing

Why might you share my personal information with third parties?

We may disclose your personal information to our affiliates for the purposes of:

• the management and administration of our business and our affiliates’ business;
• complying with the functions that each of them may perform relating to regional or global HR decisions;
• assessing compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, and internal policies and procedures across our business and our affiliates’ businesses; and
• performing contractual obligations with third-parties; and 
• the administration and maintenance of the databases storing personal information relating to candidates.

We will take steps to ensure that the personal information is accessed only by employees of our affiliates that have a need to do so for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice and that they are subject to appropriate confidentiality and only use the data for purposes described in this Privacy Notice.

We may also share your personal information to third parties outside of our corporate group for the following purposes:

• if we sell any of our business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal information to the prospective buyer for due diligence purposes;
• if we are acquired by a third party, in which case personal information held by us about you will be disclosed to the third party buyer;
• to process candidate data and provide analysis including ratings and scores to assist in recruiting decisions;
• to third party agents and contractors for the purposes of providing services to us, including, IT and communications providers, law firms, accountants and auditors. These third parties will be subject to confidentiality requirements and they will only use your personal information as described in this privacy notice; and
• to the extent required by law, for example if we are under a duty to disclose your personal information in order to comply with any legal obligation, establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.

All our third-party service providers and other entities in the group are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information in line with our policies. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal information for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal information for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need-to-know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. 

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

Data retention

How long will you use my information for?

The length of time that we hold your personal data will vary. The retention period will be determined by the following criteria:

• if your application is successful:
  1. as long as necessary in relation to your employment with Skechers; and 
  2. after your employment has ended, as long as Skechers is subject to respective legal obligations because (laws or regulation may set a minimum period for which we have to store your personal data; and
• if your application is unsuccessful: we will keep your data for a maximum period of two years from the end of the recruitment process so that we can inform you of future vacancies unless you ask us to delete your data and/or object to their processing for this purpose (as further described below).

After this period, we will securely destroy your personal information in accordance with our data retention policy.

Transfers of personal information outside the European Economic Area

Your personal information may be transferred to our international affiliates and the various entities that make up our international network and accessed by personnel authorised by us, and in limited circumstances to our third-party contacts, outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) as well as within it, for the purposes identified above. Specifically, your personal information is shared with Skechers U.S.A. Inc. in the United States and Skechers S.a.r.l. in Switzerland to administer your potential employment contract and manage our potential employment relationship with you.  Those entities provide corporate shared services to Skechers subsidiaries located around the world. To provide these services, it is sometimes necessary for Skechers subsidiaries to share data about the subsidiaries’ candidates with the parent companies. Where we transfer your personal information outside the EEA, it will be protected in a manner that is consistent with how your personal information will be protected by us in the EEA. This can be done in a number of different ways, for instance:

• the country to which we send the data is approved by the European Commission as offering an adequate level of protection of your personal information; 
• the recipient may have adhered to binding corporate rules (only for intragroup transfers); or
• the recipient has signed a contract based on model contractual clauses as approved by the European Commission or other data protection authority, obliging them to protect your personal information.

The personal information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, destinations outside the EEA. It may also be processed by individuals operating outside of the EEA who work for our affiliates or for one of our suppliers. 

In all cases, however, we will ensure that any transfer of your personal information is compliant with the applicable data protection law. 

You can obtain more details about the protection given to your personal information when it is transferred (including a copy of the standard data protection clauses which we have entered into with recipients of your personal information) by contacting us in accordance with the “Contacting us” section below.

Rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction and data portability 

Your rights in connection with personal information

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information (commonly known as making a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
• Request rectification of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
• Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
• Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
• Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
• Receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and/or request the transfer of your personal information to another party. 
• Lodge a complaint with the data protection regulator (details of which are provided below) if you think that any of your rights have been infringed by us.

You can exercise your rights by contacting us using the details set out in the “Contacting us” section below.

Further information about your rights may be obtained by contacting the Dutch Data Protection Authority here[KH2] .

What these terms cover. These are the terms and conditions on which we offer, sell and supply products to you through the www.skechers.com website. 

Why you should read them. Please read these terms carefully before you submit your order to us. These terms tell you who we are, how we will provide products to you, what to do if there is a problem and other important information. 

Information about us and how to contact us

Who we are. We are Skechers USA Benelux BV a company registered in Netherlands. Our company registration number is 18068748 and our registered office is at Cartografenweg 16, 5141 MT, Waalwijk, Nederland. Our registered VAT number is NL811125531B01.

How to contact us. You can contact us by email at info.nl@skechers.com, telephoning our customer service team at +31 416 673 160 or by writing to us at Skechers USA Benelux BV, Cartografenweg 16, 5141 MT, Waalwijk, Nederland.

How we may contact you. If we have to contact you we will do so by telephone or by writing to you at the email address or postal address you provided to us in your order. 

Our contract with you

How we will accept your order. You agree that your order is an offer to buy, under these Terms, all products and services listed in your order. All orders must be accepted by us or we will not be obligated to sell the products or services to you. We may choose not to accept orders at our sole discretion.  Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us. 

If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the product. Examples of reasons why we may be unable to accept your order are because: the product is out of stock; your billing information is not correct or verifiable; we have identified an error in the price or description of the product; or we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

Goods Not for Resale or Export. You represent and warrant that you are buying products or services from the Site for your own personal or household use only, and not for resale or export. 

Price and payment

Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes applicable taxes such as VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. All prices, discounts, and promotions posted on this Site are subject to change without notice.  

What happens if we got the price wrong. We strive to display accurate price information.  However, it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time and to cancel any orders arising from such occurrences.  We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any products provided to you.

When you must pay and how you must pay. You must pay for the products before we dispatch them. We accept payment with MasterCard, Visa, and PayPal.   You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you supply to us is true, correct and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use such credit card for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company, and (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes, if any, regardless of the amount quoted on the Site at the time of your order.

Providing the products

Delivery costs. The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website.  Posted prices do not include charges for shipping and handling. All such charges will be added to your merchandise total, and will be itemized in your shopping cart and in your order confirmation email. 

When we will provide the products. During the order process we will let you know when we will provide the products to you.

We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received. 

If you do not re-arrange delivery. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the products cannot be posted through your letterbox, we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the products from a local depot. If, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot, we may end the contract.

Your legal rights if we deliver products late. You have legal rights if we deliver any products late. If we miss the delivery deadline for any products then you may treat the contract as at an end straight away if any of the following apply:

1. we have refused to deliver the products;

2. delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or

3. you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.

Responsibility and ownership of the products

When you become responsible for the products. The products will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the products to the address you gave us.

When you own the products. You own the products once we have received payment in full.

The products must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. If your goods are not as described, fit for purpose or of satisfactory quality:

Deductions from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind we may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the products, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the products and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.

When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you within fourteen (14) days from the day on which we receive the products back from you.

Our rights to end the contract

We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you if:

No Waivers
