FAQs

Are these shoes water-resistant?

While the leather upper offers more protection than canvas, they are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather-safe water repellent spray.

Do the Authentic 44s run true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though the leather may feel snug initially before molding to your foot.

Can I replace the insoles?

The Sola Foam ADC insoles are designed for optimal comfort, but they can be removed if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.

What is the best way to clean the green leather?

Wipe with a damp cloth and use a dedicated leather cleaner. Avoid harsh soaps or bleach.

Are these suitable for professional skateboarding?

Yes, the durable sole and leather construction are designed to withstand the wear and tear associated with skateboarding.

Troubleshooting

Stiff leather when first wearing the shoes

Wear them indoors with thick socks for short periods to gently stretch and break in the leather.

Outsole losing traction due to debris

Use a soft brush to remove dirt or small pebbles trapped in the waffle tread pattern to restore grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather construction
  • Excellent grip from the signature waffle sole
  • High-quality foam cushioning for all-day comfort
  • Timeless, versatile design

Cons

  • Leather requires specific maintenance compared to canvas
  • Minimal arch support typical of skate shoes
  • Requires a break-in period for the leather upper

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure the laces are loosened entirely before sliding your foot in to avoid stressing the leather heel counter. Because these are made of leather, avoid machine washing; instead, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Use a leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking and keep the material supple. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the green finish and prevent premature aging.
