FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Zoom Air unit?
The Zoom Air unit in the heel provides responsive cushioning and impact protection, making landings more comfortable and reducing fatigue.
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
Yes, the Janoski OG offers good board feel and durability, making them a solid choice for skaters of all levels.
How durable is the canvas and suede upper?
The combination of canvas and suede is chosen for its balance of breathability, flexibility, and resistance to abrasion, typical for skateboarding footwear.
What is the benefit of a vulcanized sole?
A vulcanized sole offers excellent board feel and flexibility, allowing for more precise control and a closer connection to the skateboard.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials and construction. Spot cleaning and hand washing are preferred methods.
What does 'OG' stand for in the product name?
OG typically refers to 'Original' or 'Original Gangster', indicating that this model is a faithful reissue or representation of the original Janoski design.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too stiff
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. Skateboarding activity will naturally soften the materials.
Reduced grip on the board
Clean the sole of the shoe with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris that may be affecting traction.
Suede shows water marks
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Consider using a suede protector spray for future prevention.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. Ensure the lacing is adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit, not too tight to restrict blood flow, and not too loose to affect stability.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for skateboarding, these shoes are compatible with most skateboard decks. They are suitable for adult male users.
Care:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner or eraser can be used sparingly. Avoid excessive water.
- Cleaning Canvas: Wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Laces: Hand wash laces separately if they become dirty. Ensure they are completely dry before re-lacing.
- Sole: Clean the sole with a damp cloth to maintain grip. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
