FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
While they feature durable rubber soles and iconic styling, they are best suited for casual riding rather than high-impact technical skating.
How do I clean the white midsole?
A magic eraser or a cloth dipped in a mixture of baking soda and water can effectively remove scuffs from the rubber edges.
Do I need to wear socks with these?
Yes, wearing socks is recommended to prevent friction and to help keep the interior foam lining clean and odor-free.
Is the canvas material waterproof?
No, the cotton canvas is naturally porous. It is highly recommended to use a protective spray to make them water-resistant.
How should I store them to maintain their shape?
Store them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees or stuff them with tissue paper when not in use to maintain the silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage while walking
Ensure the laces are tightened properly through the top eyelet to secure the padded collar against the heel.
Insole feels too firm
The Sola Foam ADC insole will soften with body heat and regular wear over the first few days.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK adult foot size, as these run true to size. To keep your Era 95 DST trainers in top condition:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleans, spot-treat with a mild detergent and cold water, avoiding full submersion.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the rubber.
- Protection: Apply a canvas-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to maintain the black colour depth and protect against moisture.
