FAQs
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the leather material. Please use manual spot cleaning only.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, the addition of the Popcush insole makes these very comfortable for all-day wear and casual walking.
What is the best way to dry them if they get wet?
Air dry them naturally at room temperature. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources.
Do these fit true to size?
Generally, yes, but because of the reinforced padding, some users prefer a slightly snug fit that breaks in over time.
How does this version differ from the standard Old Skool?
The 36+ Skate version includes technical upgrades like the Popcush insole, Duracap reinforcements, and thicker foxing tape for durability.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly coming loose
Ensure the laces are threaded tightly through the metal eyelets and consider a double-knot for high-activity sessions.
Surface dirt on the leather
Use a dry soft cloth to wipe away loose dust, then use a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner for deeper stains.
Feeling too stiff out of the box
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally mold and soften to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, pull the laces firmly through the metal eyelets to secure your midfoot before tying. Because these shoes feature a leather upper, avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine, as this can damage the structural integrity and finish of the leather. If they become dirty, use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with specialized leather or suede cleaner to gently spot-treat the affected areas. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
