FAQs
What makes the Vibram® outsole special?
The Vibram® outsole is renowned for its durability, superior grip, and traction on a wide variety of surfaces, ensuring confident footing.
Are these shoes suitable for heavy skateboarding?
While inspired by skate culture, the upgraded features and unique design make them ideal for casual wear and light skateboarding. For intense skateboarding, dedicated skate shoes might offer more resilience.
How should I clean the leather knots?
Gently wipe the leather knots with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the Vibram® sole offers good grip, the suede and canvas materials are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
What is the main difference between these and standard Old Skool models?
These feature a premium heavyweight canvas and suede upper, unique leather knot detailing, an upgraded leather footbed with cushioning, and a specialized Vibram® outsole for enhanced grip and durability.
What type of insole do these sneakers have?
They come with an Ortholite® insole, which provides cushioning and moisture-wicking properties for enhanced comfort.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt. For persistent stains, use a suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Protect from moisture.
Laces are worn or dirty
Laces can be replaced with standard shoe laces. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild detergent and air drying.
Sole is losing grip
Clean the Vibram® outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing traction.
Discomfort in the footbed
Ensure the Ortholite® insole is properly seated. If persistent discomfort occurs, consider adding a third-party insole designed for cushioning, ensuring it fits within the shoe's volume.
