Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If slightly tight, wear them for short periods to break them in. If too loose, consider using thicker socks or an aftermarket insole.
Outsole showing signs of wear quickly
This can be normal with heavy skateboarding use. For premature wear, check if the grip tape on your board is excessively rough or if your skating style involves a lot of foot drag.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace with durable skate-specific laces. Ensure laces are tied securely but not excessively tight to avoid unnecessary stress.
