FAQs
Are these shoes good for beginners learning to skate?
Yes, the durable construction, reinforced toe cap, and excellent grip make them a solid choice for beginners who need protective and reliable footwear.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight, with no excessive heel slippage.
Can these shoes be washed in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is the purpose of the hidden lace loops?
The hidden lace loops are designed to keep your laces securely in place and prevent them from snagging on obstacles or getting damaged during skateboarding tricks.
How does the STI Comfort Level 1 insole contribute to performance?
The STI Comfort Level 1 insole provides essential cushioning and shock absorption, reducing impact on the feet during landings and providing comfort for extended wear both on and off the board.
What makes the tyre tread durable?
The tread is made from a durable rubber compound, similar to that used in tires, designed to withstand the high abrasion and stress of skateboarding while providing superior grip.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or narrow
Ensure the correct size has been selected. For a slightly looser fit, try unlacing the shoe further down and re-lacing loosely, then gradually tighten. Wearing thinner socks may also help.
Traction seems reduced on the board
Clean the sole with a brush and water to remove dirt and debris that may be impacting grip. Check for excessive wear on the tread pattern.
Laces are fraying quickly
Consider replacing standard laces with more durable, skate-specific laces. Ensure the hidden lace loops are used to minimize excessive friction.
