FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions for adult unisex footwear.
Can I use these for skateboarding?
While inspired by skate-archive designs, these are primarily fashion trainers; they may not provide the same durability as professional-grade technical skate shoes.
How do I maintain the blue color?
Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh UV sunlight and use leather conditioners that are specifically formulated not to alter the color of the material.
Are they water-resistant?
No, they are made of leather and are not intended for heavy rain or wet conditions. We recommend applying a water-repellent spray for light protection.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the insole can typically be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Leather creasing is normal with wear. Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather retain its shape.
Sole feels slippery on smooth surfaces
The rubber sole may require a break-in period to gain optimal traction; walk on varied outdoor surfaces to increase grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Reebok x BBC Board Flip trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Breaking-in: The leather upper will naturally soften with wear. If the fit feels slightly snug at first, wear them for short periods during the first week to allow the material to contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a dry, soft brush to remove surface dust. For minor stains on the leather, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Never machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the leather and the adhesive bonding.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant Pale Cerulean color from fading over time.
- Weather Protection: Consider applying a protective leather spray suitable for fashion sneakers to help repel water and prevent minor scuffs.
