FAQs

What makes the '36 Knot' version different from regular Old Skool sneakers?

The '36 Knot' designation refers to the unique, handcrafted leather cord knots integrated into the design on the jazz stripe, toe box, and heel, offering a distinctive aesthetic variation.

Is the Vibram® outsole suitable for actual skateboarding?

Yes, the Vibram® outsole is known for its exceptional durability and grip, making these sneakers suitable for casual skateboarding and providing confidence on the board.

How do I clean the leather knot details?

Gently wipe the leather knots with a slightly damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for delicate materials.

Are these shoes comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, they feature an upgraded internal construction with a leather footbed and cushioning, along with an Ortholite® insole, designed to provide comfort for extended periods.

What materials are used in the construction?

The shoes are constructed with a heavyweight canvas and suede upper, leather overlays, leather knots, a leather footbed, and a Vibram® vulcanized rubber outsole.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

While the Vibram® outsole offers good grip, the canvas, suede, and leather components are not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage to the materials.

What is the purpose of the high foxing tape?

The high foxing tape is a strip of rubber that runs along the sides of the shoe, adding extra durability and reinforcing the vulcanized construction, which is a hallmark of skate shoe design.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole to absorb moisture and reduce friction.

Reduced grip on outsole

Ensure the Vibram® outsole is clean. Remove any embedded debris or dirt using a brush and mild soap. If the outsole is heavily worn, consider professional inspection.

Discomfort or rubbing

Allow the shoes time to break in. Wear them for short periods initially. If the discomfort persists and is due to a specific pressure point, consider using thicker socks or seeking professional shoe stretching services.

Water damage to suede or leather

If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap of the suede and a leather conditioner for the leather elements.
