FAQs
How do I ensure I get the right size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length. If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
While durable, the Sk8-Hi trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They are not specialized athletic shoes for high-impact sports.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoes. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is the primary material of the trainers?
The trainers typically feature a combination of canvas and suede uppers, with a rubber sole.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoebox or breathable bag, away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain their condition.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The Sk8-Hi offers basic cushioning and ankle support. For enhanced arch support, consider using aftermarket insoles.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off.
Refer to the sizing guide and product description recommendation to choose the larger size if you are between sizes. Allow a short break-in period for the shoes to conform to your feet.
Dirt or stains on the red colour.
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede parts, use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser. Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces wear out.
Replacement laces can be purchased from shoe stores or online. Ensure you choose a length appropriate for high-top trainers.
