FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the suede upper and ruin the adhesive bonds; always spot clean by hand.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though the extra padding may make the fit feel slightly more snug initially.
Can I use these for actual skateboarding?
While inspired by skate culture, they are designed primarily as casual trainers rather than professional-grade skate shoes.
How do I protect the suede from water?
Apply a high-quality suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before first use.
Is the sole non-marking?
The white rubber sole is designed to be versatile, but like all rubber, we recommend testing on delicate flooring if concerned.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Use a double-knot or ensure the laces are pulled through the eyelets evenly to balance the tension.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material in a back-and-forth motion.
Squeaking sounds on smooth surfaces
Wipe the rubber soles with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dust or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure the laces are adjusted to accommodate the padded tongue without putting too much pressure on the top of the foot. Since these trainers are crafted from suede, avoid exposing them to heavy rain or muddy conditions, as water and dirt can stain the fabric. If they get dirty, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dust. For deeper stains, employ a suede-safe cleaner and a soft-bristled brush. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from hardening.
