FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for beginner skaters?
Yes, while designed with pro-level features, their durability and board feel make them a good option for beginners looking for a reliable skate shoe.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the size chart for accurate measurements. The Louie Lopez Pro 2 generally fits true to size, but consider trying them on if possible.
What is the primary advantage of the cupsole construction?
The cupsole offers a blend of durability and support, providing a more structured feel and protection compared to vulcanized soles, while still maintaining good board feel.
Can these shoes be used for other sports?
These shoes are specifically optimized for skateboarding. While they offer comfort, they may not provide the specific support or cushioning required for other high-impact sports.
How long can I expect these shoes to last with regular skating?
Durability varies with skating intensity and style, but the reinforced areas in the Louie Lopez Pro 2 are designed to offer extended wear compared to standard skate shoes.
Does the black color fade over time?
Like most footwear, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some fading. Proper care and storage can help maintain the color's vibrancy.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods during non-skating activities to help break them in. Flexing the shoe manually can also help speed up the process.
Laces fraying quickly
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly against abrasive surfaces like griptape or rough ledges. Consider using replacement laces made from more durable materials.
Slight discomfort on the heel
This can be common during the break-in phase. Try wearing thicker socks or using heel inserts for added cushioning until the shoe molds to your foot.
Tread wearing down faster than expected
Ensure you are not using the shoes for activities that involve excessive friction with hard surfaces, such as running or aggressive walking. Consistent skating on smooth surfaces will maximize tread life.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box, though a brief break-in period is recommended for optimal comfort and flexibility. Ensure the laces are tied securely for a snug fit during skating.
Compatibility: The Converse Louie Lopez Pro 2 is designed for skateboarding and is compatible with all types of skateboards. They are suitable for adult users across genders.
Care:
- Cleaning: For dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the upper. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the laces and eyelets for wear. Rotate your skate shoes if you have multiple pairs to allow them to rest and maintain their shape.
