Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Refer to the sizing chart to ensure you have selected the correct UK adult foot size. Consider the type of fit you prefer (snug vs. relaxed) and if thick socks are typically worn.
Reduced grip on the board
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from excessive dirt or debris. Wear may also reduce grip; consider replacement if the tread is significantly worn.
Stitching appears to be fraying
Inspect the stitching. For minor fraying, carefully trim loose threads. If significant seams are coming undone, this may indicate excessive wear and the shoes may need replacement for heavy skate use.
