FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skating?
While durable, the Authentic 44 range is primarily intended for lifestyle use rather than technical skateboarding.
How do I choose the right size?
The Authentic 44 generally runs true to size. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred sock thickness.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather upper and weaken the vulcanized bonding of the sole.
What is the benefit of the Vibram outsole?
Vibram outsoles are world-renowned for their exceptional grip, durability, and resistance to wear.
How should I store these trainers?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading and material degradation.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness in new leather
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to break in gradually.
Surface dirt accumulation
Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth to gently remove debris from the leather and outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are wearing socks of the thickness you intend to use daily when trying them on for the first time. To maintain the leather upper, avoid submerging the shoes in water. Instead, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack. Periodically apply a leather-specific conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent scuffing.
