All Skechers sandals and footwear come with a 2-year warranty. This means that within 2 years of purchasing your footwear, you can file a warranty claim.
The claim, if approved, entitles you to a free repair or a new pair of footwear as a replacement. But you have to follow the appropriate method of filing your claim to ensure the Company approves it.
To file a claim for your Sketchers footwear, you don’t officially file a claim on the Company’s site. Rather, you mail the shoe to the Company’s address, together with a proof of purchase.
This is the process in a nutshell. This post provides a step-to-step guide on the entire process. Also, you will learn other details like factors that can void your warranty claim.
Understanding How Skechers Warranty Entails
The warranty on Skechers sandals and footwear, directly and indirectly, attests to the quality of the process. It is the manufacturer’s way of taking responsibility for low-quality products.
All you need to do is to file a warranty claim for your footwear if you think the defect is a manufacturer’s defect. The Company will take responsibility for such defects.
It is best to mention at this stage that there is a limit to the warranty of Skechers products. In other words, there is a limit to the time and what the warranty covers.
How Long Does The Skechers Warranty Last?
As mentioned earlier, the Skechers warranty comes with a time limit. This is the timeframe you have to file a valid claim.
All Skechers sandals and footwear come with a 2 years warranty. The period starts counting from the day you purchase the footwear. From that day till the next 2 years, you can file a valid claim for any defect on the footwear.
How To Confirm If Skechers Footwear Is Still Under Warranty?
Since the Skechers warranty has a time limit, it is advisable to calculate the time frame before you file a claim. This is to ensure that the timeframe from when you bought the footwear to the time you file the claim is within two years.
First, check the purchase receipt to confirm the purchase date. Then calculate the present date from the purchase date to confirm it’s within the warranty timeframe.
What Does Skechers Warranty Cover?
The Skechers warranty covers the manufacturer’s defect. That is any defect that may have occurred in the product process of the footwear. That includes errors in the materials used for production and workmanship.
