Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thinner socks initially. If they are still too tight after a break-in period, they may be the wrong size.
Suede appears scuffed or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, consult a specialized suede cleaner.
Sole losing grip
Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with a durable alternative, such as waxed skate laces, to prevent premature wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for a proper fit.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for skateboarding, these shoes are compatible with skateboards. Their casual style also makes them suitable for general athletic and everyday wear.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush or a dry cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly, following product instructions. Avoid using water directly on suede.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, though test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Sole Care: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and maintain grip.
