FAQs

Are the Osiris D3 E suitable for beginners?

Yes, the D3 E offers excellent impact protection and support, which can be beneficial for beginner skaters learning new tricks and dealing with potential falls.

How do I clean the black nubuck uppers?

Use a soft brush or a suede eraser specifically designed for nubuck. For general dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.

What is the main difference between the D3 and D3 E models?

The 'E' in D3 E typically signifies variations in materials or construction details aimed at enhancing specific performance aspects or updating the classic design. The core iconic style and impact protection remain.

Can I wear these shoes for activities other than skateboarding?

While designed for skateboarding, their comfortable cushioning and durable build make them suitable for casual wear and other light activities. However, they may not be optimal for high-impact sports other than skating.

How does the combination lacing system work?

It combines traditional eyelets with additional lacing loops, allowing for a more secure lockdown around the ankle and midfoot, and offering flexibility in how you tie your shoes for a personalized fit.

What size should I order if I usually wear a US men's size 9?

Please refer to the specific Osiris sizing chart available from the retailer. Shoe sizes can vary between brands, and checking the chart against your foot measurements is the most accurate way to determine your size.

Troubleshooting

Laces breaking easily

Ensure laces are not overly tightened, especially around high-stress areas. Consider replacing with more durable skate-specific laces.

Reduced grip over time

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove accumulated dirt and debris. Ensure the surface you are skating on is clean.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure the lacing system is adjusted correctly for your foot shape. The EVA insole provides cushioning, but consider aftermarket insoles if further support is needed.

Material scuffing or tearing

While designed for durability, heavy or prolonged friction can cause wear. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help prolong the life of the materials.

Pros and Cons

  • Combination lacing system may require initial adjustment for optimal fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Osiris D3 E features a traditional lacing system combined with eyelets for a secure and customizable fit. Ensure laces are tied snugly but not too tight to allow for natural foot movement. The padded tongue and collar offer immediate comfort.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed primarily for skateboarding. They are compatible with most standard skateboards and can be worn for various skate disciplines including street, park, and ramp skating. They are also suitable for casual wear.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Osiris D3 E shoes:

  1. Cleaning Uppers: For nubuck and synthetic panels, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Cleaning Sole: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
