Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is common with durable skate shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace with durable skate laces. Consider using a lace protection method or ensuring knots are not excessively tight.
Tread losing grip over time
While the 300 NBS rubber is durable, grip can diminish with heavy use. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris that might be impacting traction. For extreme wear, consider replacement.
