FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for general athletic use, or specifically for skateboarding?
The Osiris Clone shoes are specifically designed with features like abrasion-resistant outsoles, impact-absorbing insoles, and enhanced durability, making them ideal for skateboarding. While they can be worn casually, their primary design intent is for skate performance.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the product sizing chart, typically found on the retailer's website. Measure your foot length and compare it to the provided UK sizing guide for Osiris shoes.
What is the FLX VLK sole construction?
FLX VLK sole construction is Osiris's technology designed to provide a balance of flexibility for natural foot movement and enhanced grip, crucial for skateboarding control and board feel.
How durable is the synthetic leather?
The synthetic leather is combined with double-stitched panelling to enhance durability, making it resistant to the wear and tear associated with skateboarding.
Can I put these in a washing machine?
No, washing machines are not recommended for cleaning skate shoes. This can damage the adhesives, materials, and overall structure of the shoe. Spot clean with a damp cloth instead.
What is the warranty on these shoes?
Please refer to the specific retailer's policy for warranty information, as it can vary. Typically, footwear warranties cover manufacturing defects.
Will these shoes provide good cushioning for impact?
Yes, they feature a compression-moulded EVA drop-in insole specifically designed to offer maximum impact protection, which is beneficial for skateboarding landings.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear the shoes with medium-thickness socks for a few hours each day to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Loosen the laces slightly.
Laces keep coming undone
Ensure you are tying a secure knot. Consider using the combination lacing system by threading the laces through the additional eyelets or loops provided for a tighter hold.
Sole appears to be separating slightly
For minor separation, a flexible shoe adhesive designed for footwear can be carefully applied. If the separation is significant, contact customer support.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris, mud, or oil. Skateboarding surfaces can vary in grip; clean soles perform best.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes arrive ready to wear and require no specific setup. They are compatible with standard skateboarding equipment like skateboards and protective gear. To care for your Osiris Clone shoes, we recommend the following:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and scuffs. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the material.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
- Laces: Check laces regularly for wear and replace them if necessary to ensure a secure fit.
