FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
While these shoes draw design inspiration from skate archives, they are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers and do not contain the specialized technical features required for professional-level skate performance.
How should I clean the blue suede upper?
Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn spots, use a specialized suede eraser or a cloth lightly dampened with a suede-safe cleaner, moving in the direction of the grain.
Are these unisex shoes?
Yes, these trainers are designed as unisex footwear, though it is recommended to check the specific UK sizing to ensure the best fit for your foot dimensions.
What does the EVA midsole do?
The injection EVA midsole acts as a shock-absorbing layer that makes the shoe lightweight and provides cushioned support for all-day comfort.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Suede is sensitive to moisture and can absorb water easily, which may lead to discoloration or damage to the material. Always use a protective spray to minimize risk.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dusty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the fibers and restore the original texture.
Minor scuffing on the rubber toe cap
Wipe the rubber surface with a damp cloth and mild soap; the toe cap is designed to be durable and resistant to most surface markings.
Creasing near the toe box
This is a natural occurrence with suede trainers; use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, these unisex trainers should be worn with mid-weight athletic socks to account for the internal cushioning. Because the upper is primarily suede, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to guard against moisture. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt or surface dust in the direction of the suede nap. Avoid machine washing or submersing the shoes in water, as this can damage the structural adhesive and ruin the suede texture. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the material to fade or warp.
