FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skating?
Yes, the Pure HIGH-TOP WC features a durable cupsole and abrasion-resistant rubber, making them well-suited for skateboarding.
Does the high-top design provide good ankle support?
Yes, the padded high-top collar is specifically designed to provide increased ankle stability and a secure fit.
How do I clean the suede portions of the shoe?
Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. Avoid water on suede as it can ruin the nap.
Can I remove the insoles?
While the shoes are designed with a fixed internal structure, the foam-padded collar and cushioned footbed provide ample support for most users.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though the foam padding means they may feel quite snug initially.
What is the best way to dry them if they get wet?
Always air dry them at room temperature. Stuffing them with paper towels can help draw out moisture and maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Stiff ankle collar during first use
Loosen the top two eyelets and wear the shoes for shorter durations to break in the foam padding.
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a small amount of leather conditioner to buff out marks.
Outsole losing grip
Clean the bottom of the rubber sole with a damp brush to remove packed-in dirt and debris.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-top design offers excellent ankle support
- Durable outer materials resist daily wear and tear
- Foam-padded collar and tongue maximize comfort
- Cupsole construction provides great board feel and impact protection
Cons
- High-top silhouette may feel restrictive for some users

- Less breathable than lightweight mesh performance runners
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK size, as the foam padding provides a snug, secure wrap around the foot. When breaking in your new trainers, wear them for shorter periods during the first week to allow the leather and internal foam to contour to your foot shape.
Care Instructions:
- Regularly brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush.
- Use a damp cloth and mild soap for spot cleaning the leather or suede areas.
- Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the glue and natural materials.
- Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
