Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

While they feature a robust Vibram outsole, they are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear rather than high-impact skate performance.

How do I clean the Vibram outsole?

Scrub the tread with a stiff brush and warm, soapy water to remove embedded mud or grit.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Yes, they follow standard Vans sizing; however, the premium leather may feel slightly tighter initially compared to canvas models until broken in.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, standard laces can be used, but note that the intricate knot design is integrated into the shoe and cannot be removed.

Are they waterproof?

They are water-resistant due to the leather construction, but they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in deep water.

Troubleshooting

Knot detailing collecting debris

Use a can of compressed air or a fine, soft-bristled toothbrush to gently dislodge dirt trapped within the knots.

Leather appearing dry or stiff

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior grip provided by the Vibram tank tread outsole
  • Durable leather upper construction
  • Distinctive design elements that set them apart from standard models
  • Improved comfort through high-quality internal lining

Cons

  • Knot detailing may be difficult to clean compared to smooth panels
  • Heavier feel than traditional canvas Old Skool sneakers
  • Leather material requires specific conditioning to maintain appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers are crafted from leather, it is important to treat them before the first wear with a leather-appropriate protective spray to repel moisture and dirt. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preference, noting that the knot detailing can make the area around the eyelets slightly stiffer. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the knots and a damp cloth for the leather panels. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage both the leather integrity and the adhesion of the specialized Vibram outsole. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking over time.
