FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?

Yes, while designed for skating, the cushioning and support make them comfortable for casual wear as well.

Does the Michelin sole wear out faster than standard rubber?

No, the Michelin sole is specifically engineered for superior durability and longevity compared to standard skate shoe rubber.

How do I clean the suede upper safely?

Use a dry, soft brush to remove dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede-specific eraser. Do not use water or soap.

What is the purpose of the hidden lace loops?

They are designed to protect your laces from being shredded by the sandpaper-like texture of your skateboard's griptape.

Can I remove the STI Performance Level 1 insole?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to clean them or replace them with custom orthotics if required.

Are these true to size?

The Serin Michelin generally fits true to size, though the cupsole construction may feel snug at first before breaking in.

Troubleshooting

Tongue feels loose or shifts during skating

Ensure the elasticated tongue straps are properly positioned against the top of your foot and adjust lacing tension to secure the midfoot.

Suede upper looks worn or dusty

Use a soft-bristled brush or a dedicated suede cleaning eraser to lift dirt and restore the nap of the material.

Laces snapping frequently

Verify that your laces are routed through the hidden lace loops provided in the design to keep them away from direct contact with the griptape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional durability provided by the Michelin rubber outsole
  • Enhanced breathability via System Flo2 technology
  • Secure fit ensured by elasticated tongue straps
  • Added protection for laces with hidden loops
  • Solid impact cushioning with STI Performance Level 1 insoles

Cons

  • Suede material requires specific care to prevent staining
  • May feel rigid initially due to the durable cupsole construction
  • Limited to specific skate-focused aesthetic preferences

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Serin Michelin trainers, always ensure the laces are pulled through the hidden loops correctly during initial setup to maximize the protective benefit. Because the upper is constructed from suede, it is recommended to use a suede-specific brush to remove dust and debris after every session. Avoid submerging the shoes in water; if they become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can cause the suede to stiffen and the adhesives to weaken. For a secure fit, adjust the laces to accommodate the elasticated tongue straps without over-tightening, which can interfere with the shoe's natural flex.
