FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The SK8-Hi Reissue CAP generally follows a standard width. While they offer some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on or checking customer reviews regarding width can be helpful.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Refer to the Vans size chart and measure your foot length. Comparing this measurement to the UK sizing provided is recommended. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for more room, especially with thicker socks.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the materials offer some resistance, these are not waterproof shoes. They are best suited for dry conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to water penetration and potential damage to the materials.
What is the difference between SK8-Hi and SK8-Hi Reissue CAP?
The 'Reissue CAP' typically refers to updated versions or specific collaborations that might include minor material or design tweaks while maintaining the core SK8-Hi silhouette and features. The CAP designation sometimes relates to specific design elements or construction updates.
How long do the soles typically last?
The durability of the soles depends heavily on usage. For regular skateboarding, expect wear and tear consistent with the sport. For casual walking, the durable rubber soles are designed to last a significant amount of time.
Are these shoes good for running?
These high-top trainers are not designed for running. Their primary function is support and durability for skateboarding and casual wear, not the cushioning and flexibility required for running.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if removable.
Laces come undone easily
Ensure laces are tied securely. Consider using a double knot or trying different lacing techniques for a tighter hold.
Discomfort or rubbing
The shoes may need a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. Ensure the correct size is being worn, as an incorrect fit is a common cause of discomfort.
Color transfer onto socks
Some color bleeding can occur with new shoes, especially in darker colors. This usually subsides after a few wears and washes of the socks. Washing socks separately for the first few times is recommended.
