FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?

Yes, they are based on the original 70s skate design and feature the signature durable sole for board control.

Do these shoes fit true to size?

Yes, the Authentic 44 series generally fits true to standard UK adult sizing.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended, as machine washing can damage the adhesive and the shape of the shoe. Use hand cleaning methods instead.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the design is gender-neutral and fits both men and women.

Do they provide good arch support?

They feature a flat-sole design which offers minimal arch support. Many users choose to add their own orthotic insoles for extra comfort.

Troubleshooting

Canvas becoming dirty

Use a soft brush and mild soapy water to spot clean the fabric, then air dry.

Stiff fit during first wear

Wear them with thicker socks for short periods indoors to gradually soften the cotton canvas.

Loss of grip on the outsole

Wipe the rubber soles with a clean, damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or dirt that may reduce traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless, minimalist design fits various outfits
  • Sturdy construction holds up well to daily use
  • High-grip rubber sole offers reliable traction
  • Lightweight and comfortable for walking

Cons

  • Minimal arch support for long-distance walking
  • Cotton canvas can be susceptible to staining
  • Requires a break-in period for optimal comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. To ensure they last, maintain them by wiping the rubber midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove scuffs. Avoid machine washing the shoes, as this can degrade the glue bonding the sole to the canvas. If the cotton canvas gets wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the rubber. Ensure you choose the correct UK adult sizing to prevent unnecessary friction and canvas stretching during the initial break-in phase.
