Troubleshooting
Reduced grip or traction
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a brush and water to remove accumulated dirt and debris. Ensure the surface you are skating on is also clean.
Discomfort during impact
The Zoom Air unit in the heel provides cushioning. If discomfort persists, ensure the shoes fit correctly and consider insoles designed for skateboarding for additional support.
Leather creasing or scuffing
Minor creasing is normal with leather. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a specific leather cleaning product. Protect the shoes during strenuous skateboarding activities to minimize damage.
