FAQs
How do I convert my women's shoe size to this product's size?
This product uses US unisex sizing. For women, subtract 1.5 from your standard women's US size to find the equivalent size (e.g., Women's US 8 = Men's US 6.5).
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
Yes, the enhanced durability, grip, and comfort features make them suitable for skaters of all levels, including beginners looking for a resilient shoe.
How durable is the Duracap reinforcement?
Duracap is a rubber underlayment designed to withstand the high-wear and tear associated with skateboarding, significantly increasing the shoe's lifespan in critical areas.
What is the benefit of Pop Cush footbeds?
Pop Cush footbeds provide advanced cushioning to absorb impact during landings and offer energy return, reducing foot fatigue during long skating sessions.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, especially the suede, and compromise the shoe's structure. Spot cleaning and specialized cleaners are advised.
What does the 'Stub' in Skate Era Stub refer to?
The 'Stub' refers to the shoe's stubby toe silhouette, a design choice that contributes to its unique aesthetic and potentially offers enhanced protection.
How does the deeper tread depth help?
The deeper tread depth is engineered to provide a longer lifespan for the sole, meaning the shoes will maintain their grip and structural integrity for more skating sessions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period. Skateboarding activities will naturally mold the shoes to your feet. Ensure correct sizing conversion from women's to men's US sizing if applicable.
Reduced grip on the board
Ensure the Sickstick traction rubber on the outsole is clean. Dirt and debris can accumulate and reduce grip. Wipe with a damp cloth.
Suede material looks dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions. Avoid washing with water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes are ready for use straight out of the box, designed for immediate performance on and off the skateboard. The internal heel stiffeners and tongue straps contribute to a secure, out-of-the-box fit.
Compatibility:
- Sizing: These shoes use US sizing (unisex). Women should size down 1.5 sizes from their usual women's size for the equivalent fit (e.g., a women's US 8 would be a men's US 6.5).
- Board Feel: The vulcanized construction offers excellent board feel, making them compatible with all types of skateboarding.
Care:
- Suede: To clean suede, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid getting suede wet, as it can stain and alter the texture.
- Canvas: Canvas sections can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry completely.
- Outsole: Wipe down the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and maintain traction.
