FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, you should not machine wash these shoes as it will damage the leather and potentially dislodge the decorative crystals and studs.
How do I maintain the leather finish?
Use a soft dry cloth for daily cleaning and a dedicated leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
Is the sizing consistent with standard Vans?
Yes, these follow standard adult sizing, but keep in mind that leather may have slightly less stretch than canvas during the initial break-in period.
Can I use these for actual skateboarding?
While based on skate silhouettes, the decorative crystals and leather construction are primarily intended for fashion and daily wear rather than high-impact skate performance.
What is Sola Foam ADC?
Sola Foam ADC is a specialized insole technology integrated into this model to provide better impact cushioning and long-term comfort compared to standard foam insoles.
Troubleshooting
Crystals or studs becoming loose
Avoid cleaning with abrasive brushes or submerging in water, which can weaken the settings over time.
Leather showing scuff marks
Gently buff the affected area with a soft leather conditioner or a specialized black leather cream to restore the finish.
Insole comfort declining
Ensure the Sola Foam ADC insole is correctly seated and flat; if necessary, remove and replace with a standard supportive insert if the original wears down.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are made from premium leather, proper care is essential to maintain their finish. Avoid machine washing, which can damage the leather and loosen the decorative studs. Instead, wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush. Keep the shoes away from prolonged direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the integrity of the adhesive used for the crystals and studs.
