Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight.

Ensure you have the correct size. Consider loosening the laces or wearing thinner socks. If the issue persists, the shoes may need to be broken in or a larger size may be necessary.

Outsole grip is wearing down.

This is normal with skateboarding. Replace the shoes when the grip is significantly reduced to maintain board feel and control.

The insole feels compacted.

The Abzorb insole provides impact protection, but it may compress over time. You may consider replacing the insoles for additional cushioning and comfort.

Compatibility:

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Clean your shoes regularly using a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution.
