Troubleshooting
Sole separation after heavy use.
While reinforced, extreme impacts can stress the sole. Contact customer support to inquire about warranty or repair options.
Reduced grip over time.
Clean the outsole with water and a brush to remove dirt and debris that may be hindering grip. For worn-out outsoles, replacement may be necessary.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed primarily for skateboarding and casual wear. They are compatible with standard skateboard decks and protective gear.
Care:
