FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very cold winter weather?
Yes, the 3M Thinsulate lining and aluminium stroble board are designed for excellent thermal retention, making them suitable for cold conditions. However, they are not fully waterproof and extreme conditions may require additional waterproofing measures.
How do I reapply the water-resistant treatment?
You can use a spray-on waterproofing treatment designed for footwear. Apply evenly to the upper and allow it to dry completely according to the product instructions. Reapply as needed, typically after cleaning or heavy use.
Can these trainers be used for activities other than skateboarding?
While designed with skateboarding in mind, their comfort and traction make them suitable for general casual wear in cooler or damp weather. They are not recommended for high-impact sports that require specialized support.
What is the lifespan of the 400NBS rubber outsole?
The 400NBS rubber is known for its durability. Lifespan depends on the intensity and frequency of use, particularly skateboarding, which can cause significant wear.
How should I clean the suede upper?
For light cleaning, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid soaking the shoe. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Does the gusseted tongue significantly affect fit?
The gusseted tongue is designed to keep debris out and provide a more secure, snug fit. It may feel slightly different initially but generally enhances comfort and performance during skating.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel cold despite insulation.
Ensure laces are tied snugly to maximize the effectiveness of the thermal lining and stroble board. Check for any gaps where cold air might enter.
Water seeping through the upper.
The water-resistant treatment may have worn off. Consider applying a suitable waterproofing spray designed for footwear. Avoid prolonged submersion in water.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any mud or debris that might be affecting grip. The reverse lug tread is designed for traction, but needs to be free of obstructions.
Insole feels uncomfortable after extended wear.
Allow the shoes time to break in, as the Foam Lite 2 insole will mold to your foot over time. If discomfort persists, consider using aftermarket insoles.
