FAQs
Are these shoes good for beginners in skateboarding?
Yes, the Nike SB Chron 2 trainers offer a good balance of board feel and durability, making them suitable for beginners learning basic tricks and cruising.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary per individual, but generally, they become more comfortable after a few skate sessions or a week of casual wear.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash Nike SB trainers as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap instead.
What is the main difference between Chron 2 and other Nike SB models?
The Chron 2 is known for its low-profile design and vulcanized construction, offering excellent board feel. Other models might have different cushioning, support, or construction methods.
How do I ensure the best grip from the gum sole?
Keep the gum sole clean by wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid exposing the soles to excessive heat or chemicals, which can degrade the rubber over time.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Chron 2 has a standard fit. If you have significantly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on if possible or consider models known for a wider toe box.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and wear them for short periods to allow them to stretch naturally. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period if needed.
Grip on sole is reduced
Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt and debris that may be affecting traction.
Laces are fraying
Replace the laces with standard shoelaces from any footwear retailer. Ensure they are the appropriate length for the shoe.
Inner lining feels uncomfortable
Ensure socks are worn properly. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe size is correct or if the break-in period is still ongoing.
