FAQs
What type of skateboarding is the Osiris Clone best suited for?
The Osiris Clone is designed for general skateboarding, including street skating and skate park use, offering durability and impact protection for tricks and riding.
How do I clean the synthetic leather upper?
Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the shoe.
Will these shoes help protect against ankle injuries?
The shoes feature lightweight additional padding in the collar for support, which can offer some protection. However, they are not specialized ankle braces.
What is the primary benefit of the FLX VLK sole construction?
The FLX VLK sole construction is designed to enhance grip on the skateboard and provide increased flexibility for better board control and maneuverability.
Can I replace the EVA insole with a different one?
Yes, the EVA drop-in insole can typically be removed and replaced with aftermarket insoles if you prefer a different feel or level of cushioning, though the original is designed for optimal impact protection.
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
Yes, the durability, grip, and impact protection make them a solid choice for beginner skateboarders looking for a reliable shoe.
What do the 'holo-grey' details refer to?
The 'holo-grey' refers to specific design elements on the shoe that have a subtle holographic or iridescent finish, adding a visual detail to the black and red color scheme.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. Tighten or loosen the laces as needed, ensuring the combination lacing system is secured properly. If still uncomfortable, consider the fit may not be ideal for your foot shape.
Reduced grip on the skateboard
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from dirt, dust, or debris. If the sole appears worn down, it may be time to consider a replacement pair for optimal performance.
Stitching appears to be fraying
Minor fraying can occur with heavy use. For significant damage, consult a shoe repair specialist, though the double-stitched panelling is designed for durability.
Insole feels less cushioned over time
The compression-moulded EVA insole is designed for impact protection. While durable, cushioning may decrease with extensive use. Consider a replacement insole if significant impact protection is still desired.
