FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
Yes, the One Star Academy Pro includes a durable rubber outsole and CX foam cushioning specifically designed to handle the impact and abrasion of skateboarding.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede upper and weaken the adhesive bonds in the rubber outsole. Always clean by hand.
How does the sizing run for this model?
These trainers generally fit true to size. If you plan to wear thick skate socks, some users prefer a half-size larger for extra room.
What is the primary material used in the construction?
The upper is constructed from premium suede, while the sole is made from high-traction, durable rubber.
Does this shoe provide good arch support?
While the CX foam provides significant comfort and impact protection, it is a flat-profile skate shoe and does not have dedicated orthopedic arch support.
Are the laces included?
Yes, every pair comes with high-quality laces that match the aesthetic of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slipping to the side during movement
Ensure the elastic internal gusset is pulled tight and centered before tying laces.
Suede looks matted or dull
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the fibers in a consistent direction to restore the nap.
Water spots or salt stains on the upper
Allow the shoe to dry completely, then use a suede eraser to gently rub away the affected area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure the elastic tongue is centered properly over the instep when lacing up the shoes. As the upper is made of suede, it is highly recommended to apply a protective suede waterproofing spray before the first use to prevent moisture damage and staining. When the shoes become dirty, avoid machine washing; instead, use a specialized suede brush or a soft, dry cloth to gently lift dirt particles. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink.
