FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adult male footwear.
Can I use these for running?
While they are supportive, they are specifically designed for skateboarding and lifestyle use rather than distance running.
How do I clean white leather trainers?
Wipe the surface with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated leather cleaning solution.
Is the sole flexible?
The sole is designed for board control, meaning it is firmer initially to provide stability, but it becomes more flexible with regular use.
What is the primary material?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, durable leather.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is accommodating, but if you require a wider fit, you may want to ensure you have chosen the appropriate width option if available.
Troubleshooting
Stiff fit during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally break in and soften.
Surface scuffing on leather
Use a specialized leather conditioner or a soft eraser to gently buff out minor surface marks.
Reduced traction on sole
Check the outsole for trapped debris or dirt buildup and clean with a soft-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for an adult male fit and function best when paired with performance skate socks to manage moisture. To maintain the leather upper, it is recommended to wipe away dirt immediately after use with a soft cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather-safe cleaner and avoid machine washing, which can compromise the integrity of the materials. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack or the adhesives to weaken over time.
