FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?

How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Use a leather-safe cleaner for more stubborn spots, and avoid submerging the shoes in water.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though the leather material may feel snug initially.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the shoe together. Always clean by hand.

Will the leather stretch?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear
Leather will soften with heat and movement; try wearing them for short periods around the house to facilitate a natural break-in.
Visible scuffs on leather surface
Use a leather conditioner or a mild suede eraser depending on the specific finish to buff out light scuffs.
Outsole loses traction
Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and debris that may cause slipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes are crafted from leather, proper care is essential to extend their life. It is recommended to use a leather-specific protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and dirt. If the shoes become soiled, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the leather or machine washing them, as this can degrade the material. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading. Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a secure fit, as leather tends to stretch slightly over time.
