FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

Yes, the Authentic 44 series is inspired by 70s skate heritage and features the durable soles and material construction required for board control.

How do I ensure I pick the right size?

The Authentic 44 trainers generally follow standard adult sizing. If you are between sizes, consider the thickness of the socks you typically wear.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash leather shoes as it can damage the material and weaken the sole adhesive.

What material are the uppers made from?

The uppers are crafted from high-quality leather, which provides a balance of durability and style.

Are these trainers waterproof?

While leather provides more natural protection than canvas, they are not fully waterproof. We recommend using a leather-safe water repellent spray if you live in a rainy climate.

Troubleshooting

Stiff sole out of the box

The thick sole is designed for durability and will soften with consistent wear; try wearing them for short durations initially.

Dirt buildup on leather

Use a soft brush to remove loose debris, followed by a gentle wipe-down with a slightly damp cloth.

Creasing in the leather

Leather creasing is normal during use; using shoe trees when not wearing them can help the shoe retain its shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather construction
  • Classic vintage design from the 70s
  • Excellent board control for skaters
  • Versatile style for casual wear

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for the thick sole
  • Leather requires specific cleaning techniques
  • Limited arch support compared to athletic running shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are designed for a standard fit. To care for your shoes, wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt and use a dedicated leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. Avoid submerging them in water, as this can affect the bond of the vulcanized sole. If they become wet, allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources to preserve the structural integrity of the leather.
