Skechers next to compete with Crocs for 'fashion' footwear in Holby City?

“Doctors and nurses already love our Skechers work non-slip footwear products,” Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers, said in a statement. “This new medical apparel line perfectly complements our workplace footwear offerings and will be a fantastic extension to the Skechers brand and lifestyle within medical environments.” This release came about because Skechers has just released a line of clothing for medical staff – no we won't be stocking those ;-)

Cleaning your Skechers shoes - October 2009

For regular Skechers sneakers, please do not put them in the washer, as this can damage them. We recommend you hand wash the shoes in cold water with a mild detergent. Please allow them to air dry naturally after washing, as the heat from the dryer can also damage the sneakers.

For nylon/nylon mesh Skechers, these materials can be sprayed periodically with a silicone spray. This will protect the upper from gathering or clinging dirt, plus help the shoes to be somewhat water repellent. Do not put nylon/nylon mesh shoes in a washing machine or immerse in water.

For smooth leather Skechers, the shoes will need cleaning and care with shoe creams or polishes. Select a neutral shade or a color nearest to the color of the shoes. Remove all the dust with a damp cloth. Never polish wet shoes.

For scuff resistant leather Skechers, remove minor scuffs by simply rubbing them with your hand. The natural oil in your hand restores the original look of the leather. For deeper scrapes and scuffs, use a soft and neutral polish. This process moisturizes and replenishes the natural oil in the leather leaving a shiny coating that will prolong and sustain the wear of the leather.

For suede leather Skechers, when shoes are dry, brush with a dry rubber sponge or soft brush to eliminate 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 commercial stain remover suitable for suede. Do not put suede shoes in a washing machine or immerse in water.

For nubuck leather Skechers, when shoes are dry, brush with a dry rubber sponge or soft brush to eliminate any clinging dirt. Regular use or a soft brush will keep the nap of the nubuck free from dust. Stubborn stains should be removed with commercial stain remover suitable for nubuck. Do not put nubuck shoes in a washing machine or immerse in water.
