FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may find them snug initially.

Can I use these for actual skateboarding?

Yes, the Skate Slip-On series is specifically engineered with durability features to withstand the wear and tear of skateboarding.

Are these machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the construction and affect the glue used in the soles.

How do I clean the white rubber trim?

A gentle scrub with a sponge, mild soap, and water is usually sufficient to clean the white rubber parts of the shoe.

Do they have arch support?

The shoes feature a standard skate-style footbed, which provides minimal arch support compared to dedicated athletic running shoes.

Is the material canvas or leather?

The upper on the classic checkered Skate Slip-On is typically made of durable canvas material.

Troubleshooting

The shoe feels too tight at first

Canvas materials often require a short break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to stretch and conform to your foot.

Heel slipping while walking

Ensure you are using the correct size; if the size is correct, consider using a thin adhesive heel grip or thicker socks to improve the fit.

Outsole losing traction

Check the tread for debris or buildup of dirt; wipe the soles with a damp cloth to restore grip on smooth indoor surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effortless slip-on design for convenience
  • Iconic and timeless checkered aesthetic
  • Durable construction suitable for skate performance
  • Versatile style that fits many wardrobe choices

Cons

  • Lack of adjustable lacing may not fit all foot shapes perfectly
  • Minimal arch support typical of skate shoes
  • Requires a break-in period for optimal comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are slip-ons, there is no setup required; simply slide your foot in. To ensure a good fit, consider wearing socks that match the thickness you plan to use regularly. For care, keep the shoes clean by using a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the canvas and rubber surfaces. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution on a cloth, but avoid submerging the shoes or machine washing them, as this can degrade the adhesives and materials. Store them in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape and longevity of the materials.
