Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted properly, not too tight.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth or brush to remove accumulated dirt and debris that may be affecting grip.
Leather upper shows creases or scuffs
Minor creases are normal with leather. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or cleaner appropriate for white leather. These are skateboarding shoes and some wear is expected.
Tongue shifts during wear
Ensure the laces are threaded through the tongue loop if available, or lace them tightly to keep the tongue in place. Adjusting the lacing pattern can also help.
