FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, individual foot shape can affect the fit, so refer to your standard UK shoe size.
Can these be used for skateboarding?
Yes, the Authentic series is built with a durable construction and the signature waffle outsole, making them a popular choice for light to moderate skating.
Do they provide good arch support?
The Authentic series provides standard, minimal support. For those requiring significant arch support, adding an aftermarket orthotic insole is recommended.
Are they water-resistant?
These trainers are primarily made of canvas and are not inherently waterproof. Using a fabric protector spray can help improve water resistance.
How should I clean the rubber midsole?
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away scuffs and dirt from the rubber sections.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the top
Loosen the lacing system completely and re-lace with more slack to accommodate foot volume.
Visible dirt on canvas
Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth with a mild detergent; avoid soaking the shoe to prevent staining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are lace-up trainers, ensure you adjust the laces to match your foot's width for a secure fit. For care, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the fabric and color. Avoid machine washing, which can damage the adhesive and material structure. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the canvas and rubber components.
