FAQs
How should I size these shoes?
These shoes run small. We recommend ordering one size larger than your typical footwear size.
Are these suitable for daily casual wear?
Yes, their clean-cut, low-profile aesthetic makes them a great choice for casual outfits.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality suede for durability and style.
Does the tongue slide while skating?
No, the shoes feature elasticated tongue straps that lock the tongue in place during activity.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
We do not recommend machine washing, as it can damage the suede material and weaken the vulcanized sole bonding.
Is this shoe good for high-impact skating?
While it features a reinforced heel, the low-profile nature is better suited for technical skating rather than extreme stair-counting or high-impact drops.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Ensure the elasticated tongue straps are properly aligned and not twisted; if they remain tight, consider thinning out your socks or allowing the suede to stretch slightly through wear.
Surface dirt on the white suede
Use a dry, soft-bristle brush to gently lift dirt; for tougher marks, use a white eraser or a specialized suede cleaning block.
Sole losing grip
If the outsole becomes clogged with debris or wax, use a damp cloth to wipe the gum rubber and restore natural friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers run small, ensure you account for a thicker skate sock when determining your final size. For care, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after every session to maintain the integrity of the material. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture and weaken the adhesives used in the vulcanized sole. If stains occur, use a specialized suede cleaner and dab gently rather than scrubbing aggressively. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from shrinking or cracking.
