FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Nike SB Vertebrae generally fits true to your standard UK shoe size.
Can I use these for running?
These are designed as skate trainers and offer a flat sole, which may not provide the necessary cushioning for distance running.
How do I clean the white accents?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth to gently wipe the white areas.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The design features a standard width; if you have very wide feet, you may find them slightly snug initially.
Is the material waterproof?
The materials are durable but not waterproof. We recommend using a water-repellent spray if you plan on wearing them in damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Material becomes stiff after cleaning
Once dry, gently flex the shoe by hand to loosen the materials.
Laces coming undone frequently
Replace standard laces with textured skate-specific laces or double-knot your current set.
Accumulated dirt in the sole
Use a toothpick or a small stiff-bristled brush to dislodge debris from the tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal use, ensure the laces are tightened to provide a secure lockdown across the midfoot. These trainers are standard fit; if you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider testing your fit carefully. To maintain the appearance and structural integrity of the shoes, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the exterior. If the material gets wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or stiffening.
