FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

How do I determine my correct UK size?

It is not recommended to machine wash Vans trainers as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.

How durable are the soles?
The soles are made from durable rubber with a waffle pattern designed for wear resistance and grip, suitable for regular use.
What kind of socks are best with Sk8-Hi trainers?
Mid-length or crew socks are generally recommended to provide a comfortable fit and prevent chafing against the ankle collar.

Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing pattern or tightness to your preference. Ensure the knot is secure but not overly strained.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the soles are clean and free from excessive debris. The non-slip features are most effective on dry, clean surfaces. The waffle pattern may offer less grip on very wet or oily surfaces.
Discomfort during initial wear.
This is common with new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. The shoes will conform to your foot shape over time.
Scuffs and marks on the upper material.
Use a damp cloth and mild soap or a specialized shoe cleaner to gently remove marks. For stubborn scuffs, a magic eraser can be used cautiously on rubber parts.
