Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for walking or daily wear?

Yes, they are highly durable for daily use, though their primary design focus is on skateboarding performance and impact protection.

Does the Michelin outsole really make a difference?

Yes, it is significantly more abrasion-resistant than standard rubber soles, allowing the tread to last longer even with heavy skateboarding.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for dry cleaning. Avoid heavy water exposure, as it can stiffen the suede fabric.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the shoes are made of suede and are not waterproof. They should not be worn in heavy rain.

Do I need to buy a different size for skating?

Most users find the Marana fits true to size. If you prefer a very tight fit for extra board control, some skaters prefer half a size down, but standard sizing is generally recommended.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot

Loosen the laces significantly starting from the bottom eyelets and allow the leather to stretch naturally over a few sessions.

Excessive dirt buildup on the outsole

Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the deep tread grooves of debris to restore full traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior outsole longevity thanks to Michelin rubber technology
  • Enhanced protection in high-wear areas via the injected rubber toe cap
  • Excellent impact absorption for landing tricks
  • Durable suede upper stands up to aggressive griptape friction

Cons

  • May feel slightly stiff during the first few days of use
  • Heavier than minimal canvas skate shoes due to reinforced materials
  • Limited ventilation compared to mesh-heavy athletic footwear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best performance, ensure you select your correct size to minimize heel lift. These trainers are true to size for most foot shapes, though the internal padding may feel snug initially. To maintain your Marana shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Use a dry brush or suede-specific brush to remove loose dirt and dust from the suede upper.
  2. Stain Removal: For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap; do not submerge the shoes in water as it can damage the glue bonds.
  3. Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources to prevent the suede from becoming brittle or the rubber from warping.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to ensure the longevity of the materials.
