FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

The Nike FC Standard SB is designed with skate-inspired features and is suitable for casual skateboarding, light park use, and daily wear. For professional or highly technical skateboarding, specialized performance shoes might offer more advanced features.

How do I clean the 'Summit White Gum' colorway?

For the white suede, use a suede brush for dry dirt and a suede eraser or slightly damp cloth for stains. For the gum sole, a damp cloth is usually sufficient to remove dirt and restore grip.

What is the main advantage of the non-slip sole?

The non-slip sole is designed to provide enhanced traction and stability on various surfaces, which is beneficial for both skateboarding and everyday walking to prevent slips.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

While the shoes offer some durability, suede is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain their condition and longevity.

What does 'SB' stand for in the product name?

'SB' stands for Nike's Skateboarding division. Shoes with this designation often incorporate features and design elements tailored for skateboarding.

How does the fit typically run?

The fit can vary, but many users find Nike SB shoes to be true to size. However, personal preference for tightness or looseness can influence the perceived fit. Trying them on is recommended if possible.

What is the recommended break-in period for these shoes?

Like most casual and skate-inspired shoes, the Nike FC Standard SB may require a short break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot shape, typically a few wears.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing to find a more secure or comfortable fit. Consider using thicker or thinner socks. If the fit is fundamentally wrong, it may be a sizing issue, and exchanging for a different size might be necessary.

Suede material is dirty or stained

Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, followed by air drying. Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced grip on the sole

Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt and debris that can affect traction. Ensure the surface you are skating on is also clean and dry.

Discoloration of the white upper

Avoid exposure to excessive dirt, mud, or staining agents. Clean promptly with appropriate suede cleaning methods as outlined in the care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: The Nike FC Standard SB is designed for versatile use. It is compatible with casual attire for everyday wear. For skateboarding, it is best suited for beginner to intermediate levels or light park skating. It is not designed for extreme skateboarding disciplines that require highly specialized footwear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Lining and Insoles: Spot clean the interior with a mild soap and water solution if necessary. Ensure they are air-dried completely.
  3. Sole: Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth to maintain grip. Harsh chemicals can damage the rubber.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape.
