Troubleshooting
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with durable, skate-specific laces. Avoid overtightening laces during wear.
Sole becoming detached
For minor separation, a strong adhesive designed for footwear may provide a temporary fix. For significant detachment, professional repair or replacement might be necessary.
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Try using aftermarket insoles for added cushioning or support. Break in the shoes gradually.
Reduced grip on the outsole
