Yes, they generally follow standard UK adult sizing, though the leather may feel snug initially.
No. Machine washing can ruin the leather upper and weaken the vulcanized soles.
While leather is naturally water-resistant to a degree, it is not waterproof. Use a repellent spray for added protection.
The Authentic 44 series features a flat-sole design. If you require significant arch support, you may consider adding an aftermarket insole.
Yes, they are designed with skate-specific features like durable soles for board control.
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors before committing to long walks.
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a lightly dampened cloth to buff out superficial marks.
Scuff the bottom of the soles lightly with sandpaper or simply wear them on pavement for a short period to increase traction.
Because these shoes are made of leather, it is recommended to apply a leather protector spray before your first wear to guard against moisture and dirt. If the shoes become dirty, gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth; avoid machine washing, as this can damage the leather finish and adhesive bonds. Ensure you lace them snugly to accommodate the natural flexibility of the upper, which will soften and mold to the unique shape of your foot after a few days of consistent wear.
