FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they follow standard Vans unisex sizing conventions.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the Pop Cush insoles are removable and replaceable.

Are these good for walking?

The impact-resistant cushioning makes them very comfortable for extended walking compared to standard flat-bottom shoes.

How do I maintain the grip?

Regularly brush off dust and debris from the gum rubber sole to maintain maximum traction.

Are they water resistant?

While the nubuck is durable, it is not waterproof; avoid heavy rain to maintain the material quality.

Troubleshooting

Stiff fit during first wear

Wear them indoors for a few hours with thicker socks to naturally mold the nubuck to your foot shape.

Surface dirt on nubuck

Use a specialized suede or nubuck brush; avoid using excessive water or harsh detergents.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic 1999 retro aesthetic
  • Excellent grip on the skateboard deck
  • High-level impact cushioning
  • Reinforced durability features

Cons

  • May feel stiff during initial break-in
  • Nubuck material requires specific care

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your shoes last, avoid machine washing the nubuck material, as moisture can degrade the texture. Use a soft brush to remove dirt after skating. These shoes are standard unisex sizing and are fully compatible with any flat-pedal bicycle or standard skateboard grip tape. If you use custom orthotics, the Pop Cush insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them out if necessary.
