FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?

What is the difference between the Old Skool and the Old Skool Pro?
The Pro version includes performance-focused upgrades like reinforced Duracap layers, better impact cushioning, and improved rubber compounds.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The reinforced suede upper requires a short break-in period; wear them for shorter sessions until the materials adapt to your foot shape.
Tongue shifting during wear
Ensure your laces are threaded through the tongue-centering loops and that the internal tongue straps are positioned flat against the top of your foot.
Grip feels reduced after heavy use
Check the waffle tread for debris or buildup and clean with a damp brush to restore traction.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure the tongue straps are centered over your midfoot to prevent slipping. Since the exterior is crafted from high-quality suede, it is essential to avoid machine washing or heavy saturation with water. Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a dedicated suede eraser for localized stains. For the white rubber foxing, a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush will help maintain the finish. Always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials.
