Product Information
Full details

Featuring a robust black nubuck upper and a signature pill pattern tread, these shoes offer excellent stability for daily wear or light skating, though the high-top design may feel restrictive to those accustomed to low-profile footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skating?
Yes, the Pure High Top WC features a durable cupsole and grip-heavy outsole that provides the stability required for casual and mid-level skate use.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but the extra padding around the ankle may make them feel slightly more snug than a low-top trainer.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and degrade the leather/nubuck materials. Spot cleaning is the preferred method.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality nubuck and synthetic materials for durability.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
The EVA sock liner provides basic cushioning, though users with specific arch support needs may choose to replace it with a custom orthotic.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly come untied
Try a double knot or replace with slightly longer, textured laces for better friction.
Shoes feel too tight across the bridge
Loosen the laces significantly starting from the bottom eyelets and re-thread them to accommodate more volume.
Insole sliding during wear
Ensure the EVA sock liner is pushed completely flat against the base of the shoe before inserting your foot.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent ankle support due to high-top construction
- Highly durable nubuck and leather materials
- Reliable grip on most surfaces
- Classic, versatile aesthetic suitable for casual settings
Cons
- High-top design requires more time to lace and remove
- May feel heavy compared to minimal trainers
- Less breathable than pure mesh running shoes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Initial Fit: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your comfort level before tying; the high-top nature allows for varying degrees of tightness at the ankle.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the nubuck surface. For deeper stains, use a specialized leather or nubuck cleaner, avoiding harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the material colors from fading.
- Moisture Control: If the interior becomes damp, remove the EVA sock liner and allow the shoe to air dry naturally, avoiding direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
