FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
The Nike SB Chron 2 Canvas trainers are designed with skateboarding in mind and offer good grip and durability for recreational and intermediate skaters. For highly demanding professional use, skaters might prefer models with more advanced cushioning or reinforced areas.
How do I clean the white canvas material?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is the primary difference between this and other Nike trainers?
The 'SB' designation signifies that these trainers are specifically tailored for skateboarding, featuring enhanced durability and grip compared to general-purpose trainers. The Chron 2 model emphasizes a classic, streamlined design.
Will these shoes provide good support for long walks?
These trainers offer moderate cushioning for comfort during casual wear and light activities. For extended walking or if you require significant arch support, consider using insoles or opting for shoes with more specialized support features.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The canvas material offers minimal water resistance. While they can handle light splashes, they are not designed for significant exposure to rain or wet conditions and may become saturated.
What does 'UK 13' refer to?
UK 13 refers to the UK sizing standard for adult men's footwear. It is important to confirm your foot measurements against Nike's official size chart to ensure the best fit.
How durable is the gum outsole?
The gum rubber outsole is designed for durability and provides excellent traction. However, like all rubber soles, it will show signs of wear over time, especially with consistent skateboarding use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear the shoes around the house for a short period to break them in. Laces can be adjusted for a more personalized fit.
Traction seems poor on certain surfaces
Clean the gum outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be hindering grip. Ensure the surface itself is not wet or excessively smooth.
Canvas material showing significant wear or scuffs
For minor scuffs, try a gentle cleaning method. For more substantial wear, consider using specialized shoe repair products for canvas, or acknowledge this as normal wear for skateboarding.
Soles feel stiff initially
New trainers, especially those designed for performance, often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially until they conform to your feet.
