FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though the wider toe box provides a slightly more accommodating fit than traditional narrow-fit sneakers.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the leather, degrade the adhesive, and warp the shoe structure.
What is the best way to clean the grey leather?
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft-bristled brush and a damp cloth. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first.
Are these suitable for high-impact skating?
They are designed for general skateboarding use, featuring firm panels that offer stability and durability for board feel and tricks.
Do I need to treat the leather with a protector?
Applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather can help protect the shoes from the elements and keep them looking fresh longer.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to help them retain their shape and minimize deep creases.
Reduced grip on the board
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust or debris, which can accumulate and reduce traction.
Shoe feels too tight in the toe area
Ensure you are using the correct lacing technique to maximize width; avoid overtightening the eyelets closest to the toes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Skateboarding shoes last, follow these maintenance tips. As they are constructed from leather, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemical detergents. Clean surface dirt with a soft brush, and use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or harden. For the best performance, ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight to allow for natural foot swelling during active use. Check the soles periodically for embedded debris to maintain optimal grip.
