FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, their durable construction and grippy soles make them an excellent choice for daily walking and casual wear.
How do I ensure I get the correct size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing; if you typically wear a size 5 UK in similar skate styles, you should order the same size here.
Can these be put in the washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to hand-clean them to protect the materials and the bonding agents used in construction.
Is this shoe designed specifically for men?
While listed for men, the Skate Old Skool is a unisex design and can be worn by anyone fitting the provided size range.
What should I do if the suede gets wet?
Pat them dry with a clean cloth and allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature; never use a heater or hairdryer.
Are they effective for actual skateboarding?
Absolutely, the 'Skate' series is specifically engineered with high-impact durability and board feel for skaters.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Wear them for short periods around the house to help the materials stretch and break in naturally.
Surface scuffs on the suede
Use a dedicated suede eraser or a soft suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the material nap.
Laces coming undone
Double-knot the laces or replace them with higher-friction cotton laces if the standard ones are too smooth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size. Because these are performance-oriented, the shoes may feel snug out of the box; they will naturally contour to your feet after several hours of wear. To maintain your shoes: remove loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush, and use specialized suede cleaners for stains. Avoid machine washing, as excessive water exposure can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the shoes. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
