FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
The Nike SB Chron 2 Canvas is designed for classic skate style and casual wear, offering good board feel for light to moderate skateboarding. For professional or very aggressive skateboarding, shoes with more advanced cushioning and durable materials might be preferable.
How do I determine my correct shoe size?
Refer to Nike's official sizing chart, typically available on their website, and measure your foot length. For the Chron 2 Canvas, ensure a snug but comfortable fit, as skate shoes often require good foot control.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash canvas shoes, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the main advantage of the gum sole?
The gum sole provides excellent grip and traction on various surfaces, which is essential for skateboarding and everyday stability.
How durable is the canvas material for skating?
The canvas offers good durability for casual skating and everyday wear. For intense skateboarding sessions involving frequent friction and impact, it may show wear more quickly than shoes made from more robust materials like suede or leather.
What is the difference between the Chron 2 Canvas and other SB models?
The Chron 2 Canvas focuses on a classic, minimalist skate aesthetic with a canvas upper, prioritizing comfort and style for casual use and lighter skating. Other SB models might feature different materials, enhanced cushioning, or more robust construction for advanced skateboarding needs.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness upon first wear
Wear the shoes around the house for a short period to break them in. Gentle flexing of the shoe can also help.
Canvas scuff marks
Use a damp cloth or a mild eraser designed for canvas shoes. For tougher scuffs, a mixture of mild soap and water with a soft brush can be used.
Slippery sole on wet surfaces
The gum sole offers good traction on dry surfaces. Exercise caution on wet or slippery conditions as with any footwear.
