FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede material is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive water exposure. It is recommended to protect them from rain and wet conditions.
How do I clean the neon Citron accents?
For the neon Citron accents, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing, as this could damage the color or material.
What is the main advantage of the Zoom Air unit?
The Zoom Air unit provides responsive cushioning and enhanced impact protection, making them ideal for skateboarding and reducing stress on your feet during landings.
Can these shoes be worn for running?
While they offer good cushioning, these shoes are primarily designed for skateboarding. They may not provide the specific support or features needed for optimal running performance.
What is the expected lifespan of these shoes for skateboarding?
The lifespan varies greatly depending on the intensity and style of skateboarding. For regular use, expect them to last several months to a year before significant wear and tear compromises performance.
Does the suede material stretch over time?
Suede can mold to the foot with wear and may feel slightly more comfortable over time. However, significant stretching is not typical, and maintaining the correct fit is important.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser for light marks. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a soft cloth, working from the outside of the stain inward. Allow to air dry completely.
Reduced grip on the skateboard deck
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and debris that may be affecting traction. Ensure the skateboard deck grip tape is also clean.
Laces fraying or breaking
Inspect laces regularly. Replace frayed or broken laces with new ones of a similar length and material to maintain shoe integrity and appearance.
Discomfort during high-impact landings
Ensure the shoes are properly laced to provide adequate support. The Zoom Air unit offers cushioning, but for extreme impacts, consider that the shoe's intended use is skateboarding.
