FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions for adult footwear.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended, as machine washing can compromise the glue and the shape of the shoe.
Are these suitable for skateboarding?
While they are part of the brand's skate heritage, the 44 DX is more focused on the original aesthetic; modern skaters often prefer models with more technical padding.
Do I need to treat the canvas?
Using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for fabric can help keep them looking new for longer.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from high-quality canvas, while the sole is made from the signature vulcanized rubber.
Troubleshooting
Canvas becoming stained
Use a specialized canvas cleaner and a soft brush to gently scrub the area; allow to air dry.
Insole comfort level
Since these are heritage designs, consider adding a thin, third-party aftermarket insole if you require more arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No specialized setup is required; simply lace them up to your desired tension. To ensure longevity, keep the canvas clean by wiping away dust with a dry brush. If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature, as direct high heat can damage the bonding agents. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush, but avoid machine washing to maintain the structural integrity of the rubber foxing.
