FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, the STI Performance Level 1 insole provides enough cushioning for all-day comfort, though they are specifically engineered for the demands of skateboarding.
How do I clean the Michelin outsole?
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution and a soft brush to remove mud or grit.
Is the sizing true to fit?
The Serin Michelin follows standard UK sizing, but the slim fit may feel tighter than traditional chunky skate shoes.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the STI Performance Level 1 insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if needed.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed using suede, which offers a balance of durability, flexibility, and style.
How does the Michelin sole differ from standard rubber?
The Michelin outsole is specifically designed for enhanced grip and superior abrasion resistance, making it significantly more durable against high-friction skate surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slides to the side during use
Ensure the elasticated tongue straps are properly aligned and pulled tight across the midfoot.
Accumulated dirt on the suede
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris; avoid harsh chemicals or water.
Shoe feels too tight initially
The reinforced Force Shield construction may feel stiff; wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to mold to your feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, utilize the internal elastic tongue straps; ensure they are centered before tightening the laces. Because these are built with suede materials, it is recommended to use a suede-specific brush to remove dirt and dust after sessions. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the suede and affect the adhesive bonds. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping or cracking of the rubber outsole. Always ensure the insoles are properly seated after cleaning to maintain the intended cushioning performance.
