FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

While designed with skate-inspired features and a durable Vibram® outsole, they are best suited for casual skateboarding and everyday wear rather than extreme or professional skateboarding which requires specialized technical footwear.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the product sizing information provided. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the brand's sizing chart, as Vans sizing can vary slightly.

Can the leather knots be removed or replaced?

The leather knots are integrated into the design for aesthetic and structural purposes and are not designed to be removed or replaced.

What makes the Vibram® outsole special?

The Vibram® outsole is renowned for its exceptional durability, superior grip, and reliable traction, featuring a unique tank tread pattern designed for confident performance on diverse surfaces.

Is the suede material treated to be water-resistant?

The suede material is not inherently water-resistant. It is recommended to use a suede protectant spray to provide some level of water repellency and stain resistance, and to clean them according to care instructions.

What is the benefit of the Ortholite® insole?

The Ortholite® insole provides long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, contributing to overall comfort and foot health during extended wear.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, construction, and adhesive. Hand cleaning according to the care instructions is the appropriate method.

Troubleshooting

Laces are difficult to tie with knot details.

Gently adjust the position of the leather knots to allow for easier lacing. Ensure laces are not overly tight before knotting.

Suede appears dirty or matted.

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. For stubborn marks, consult specialized suede cleaning guides.

Reduced grip on the outsole.

Clean the Vibram® outsole tread with water and a stiff brush to remove any embedded debris or mud that may be hindering traction.

Discomfort after initial wear.

Allow a break-in period. The leather footbed and cushioning will adapt to your foot's shape over time. Wear them for short durations initially.
