FAQs
Are these shoes specifically for skateboarding?
While designed with skateboarding performance in mind, including durable suede and excellent board feel, the Cons One Star Pro Low-Top is also a stylish and comfortable option for everyday casual wear due to its robust construction and classic design.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Converse typically runs true to size for most individuals. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit, especially if you plan to use them for skateboarding, where a secure and precise fit is crucial for performance.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
Suede is not naturally water-resistant and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water. We recommend applying a suede protector spray for light moisture resistance and avoiding heavy rain or puddles to preserve the material.
What makes these 'Pro'?
The 'Pro' designation indicates features enhanced for skateboarding. This includes more durable materials like the robust suede, improved board feel, and sometimes additional cushioning or reinforced stitching for the demands of skating compared to standard One Star models.
How often should I clean the suede?
Clean your suede shoes as needed. For general maintenance, a quick brush after each wear can help prevent dirt buildup. For stains, clean them as soon as possible to prevent them from setting and becoming harder to remove.
Is the sole durable for skateboarding?
Yes, the vulcanized rubber sole is specifically designed for durability and optimal grip. It provides the necessary traction and resilience to withstand the wear and tear of skateboarding, offering a consistent connection to your board.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or scuffed after use
Gently clean the affected area with a specialized suede brush to lift dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede cleaner product designed for the material, following its instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Like many high-quality shoes, a break-in period is often required. Wear them for short durations around the house before longer excursions or intense activities to allow the material to mold to your feet.
Poor grip or feel on the skateboard
Ensure your laces are tied snugly to prevent foot slippage inside the shoe. Check your grip tape condition; worn grip tape can significantly reduce board feel regardless of shoe quality.
Suede is discolored or damaged by water
Suede is not waterproof. If exposed to water, stuff the shoes with newspaper and let them air dry naturally. For future protection, apply a water and stain repellent spray designed for suede before wear.
Laces frequently come untied during activity
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. You can also consider replacing the laces with a slightly different material or texture that holds knots more securely.

Compatibility: These shoes are compatible with standard skateboarding gear, including various grip tapes and board types. Their timeless design makes them suitable for a wide range of casual apparel, from jeans and shorts to more styled streetwear.
Care: To maximize the lifespan and maintain the appearance of your suede shoes:
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner product designed for this material, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first use and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains. This significantly extends the life and appearance of the suede.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper or shoe trees to absorb moisture and help maintain their original shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage suede.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
