FAQs
Are these shoes good for beginners in skateboarding?
Yes, the enhanced grip, cushioning, and durability make them suitable for beginners learning the basics and progressing in skateboarding.
How do the Duracap™ reinforcements work?
Duracap™ is a proprietary reinforcement layer built into the high-wear areas of the shoes, specifically designed to withstand the abuse of skateboarding and extend the shoe's lifespan.
What is the difference between Sickstick™ and Popcush™?
Sickstick™ refers to the rubber compound used for the outsole, providing superior grip. Popcush™ is the insole technology, offering advanced cushioning and impact protection.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials, especially the suede, and compromise the shoe's construction.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Lace the shoes up securely, ensuring they are snug but not uncomfortably tight. The padded collar should provide support without digging into your ankle.
What is the benefit of the vulcanized sole?
A vulcanized sole offers a thinner, more flexible construction that improves board feel, allowing skaters to better sense the board under their feet, while also providing durability.
How do I care for the suede and canvas upper?
Use a suede brush for suede and a damp cloth with mild soap for canvas. For stubborn stains, use specialized cleaning products designed for these materials. Always air dry.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on the sole
Clean the Sickstick™ rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that may be affecting traction.
Discomfort or pressure points
Adjust the lace-up closure for a more personalized fit. Ensure the padded collar is sitting comfortably around the ankle.
Suede material looks worn or dirty
Use a suede brush to clean and restore the nap. For stains, consult specific suede cleaning product instructions.
Shoes feel stiff initially
The vulcanized sole and materials will break in with use. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your foot.
