Product Information
Full details
The Nike SB Vertebrae is designed for adults seeking a blend of durability, performance, and everyday comfort. These trainers provide excellent support through a stable, flat-heel construction, making them ideal for both skateboarding and casual daily wear. While they offer a secure and adjustable fit, users should note that the stiff structural design may require a brief break-in period to reach maximum comfort.

FAQs
Are the Nike SB Vertebrae true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard Nike sizing; however, if you prefer a looser feel, consider sizing up by a half-size.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
These are designed for skateboarding and lifestyle use, not for distance running. They lack the specific cushioning required for high-mileage impact.
How do I keep the white sections clean?
Use a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush to spot-clean the white areas, then pat dry immediately.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
The support is neutral and focused on stability. If you require specific orthotic arch support, you may replace the stock insoles with custom ones.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally with a shoe tree or stuffed with paper to maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the top of the foot
Adjust the lacing pattern to a 'parallel' or 'loose' style to reduce pressure on the bridge of the foot.
Stiffness causing discomfort during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the materials to soften and break in naturally.
Scuffing on the side panels
Use a specialized rubber eraser or suede brush to gently buff out surface marks from the black material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike SB Vertebrae trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Setup: Start by loosening the laces fully before sliding your foot into the shoe. Adjust the tension from the bottom eyelets upward to ensure even pressure across the midfoot.
- Compatibility: These are unisex-style trainers suitable for any casual or skate-focused activity. They pair well with technical skate trousers or standard jeans.
- Care: Wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat dryers, as this can degrade the bonding agents and structural integrity of the shoe. Air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the black color finish.
