Troubleshooting

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace with new SB laces. Consider waxed laces for increased durability.

Leather creasing excessively

This is normal for leather shoes, especially after skateboarding. Use shoe trees when not in use to help retain shape. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Discoloration on the purple upper

Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. For stubborn marks, consult a specialist leather cleaner.

Slight discomfort on first wear

Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Ensure laces are not too tight, and the fit is correct for your foot size.
