Can I wear these shoes for other sports besides skateboarding?

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.

Tongue or collar feels stiff

Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. The padded tongue and collar are designed for support and will become more flexible with use.
