FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear, or just skateboarding?
While specifically designed with skateboarding performance in mind, the Osiris D3 2001's comfort features like the padded tongue, collar, and impact protection make them very comfortable and suitable for daily casual wear.
How do I ensure the best fit with the combination lacing system?
The combination lacing system allows for customization. Experiment with different tensions across the foot and ankle areas. You can tighten specific sections more than others to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit that supports your foot during activity.
What kind of protection do these shoes offer against impacts?
The D3 2001 features a 3/4 cup sole construction with a PU midsole and an integrated airbag, specifically engineered to provide maximum impact protection and absorb shock from landings.
Can I replace the insole?
The shoes come with a Blown EVA RE-UP insole with a full latex covering designed for improved fit and comfort. While you can typically replace insoles in most shoes, we recommend trying the original insole first as it is integral to the shoe's designed comfort and support system.
What does 'reinforced high abrasion areas' mean for durability?
This means specific parts of the shoe, like the toe box and side panels, which are most prone to wear and tear from skateboarding (e.g., friction with grip tape), have extra layers or stronger materials to significantly increase the shoe's lifespan and resistance to damage.
How do I clean the black leather of my D3 2001 shoes?
For black leather, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a small amount of mild leather cleaner to a soft cloth and gently wipe. Always allow the shoes to air dry and consider using a black leather conditioner to maintain their color and suppleness.
Troubleshooting
My shoes feel stiff and uncomfortable initially.
The D3 2001 has a robust construction, and leather may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot. Adjust the lacing for a more relaxed fit if needed.
The leather is starting to scuff or show wear quickly.
Scuffing is common with active use, especially in skate shoes. Regularly clean and condition the leather. For significant scuffs, a leather polish or restorer in a matching color may help. Consider using protective sprays for added resistance to abrasion.
I experience foot fatigue after extended use or hard landings.
While the D3 2001 offers maximum impact protection, ensure your lacing provides a secure, supportive fit. For persistent fatigue, ensure the shoe size is correct and consider aftermarket insoles for additional arch support or cushioning, though the RE-UP insole is already designed for improved fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Osiris D3 2001 shoes come ready to wear. The combination lacing system allows for personalized adjustment. Experiment with different lacing patterns and tension to find the most comfortable and secure fit for your feet and skateboarding style. Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent tripping hazards during use.
Compatibility
These shoes are primarily designed for skateboarding, offering features like impact protection, durability, and grip essential for the sport. However, their robust construction and comfortable padding also make them suitable for casual daily wear for those who appreciate their distinctive style and comfort.
Care
Given the leather material of your Osiris D3 2001 shoes, proper care is essential to maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan:
- Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, wipe the shoes with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Apply the cleaner with a soft cloth and gently rub.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can dry out and crack the leather.
- Conditioning: Regularly apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Follow the product instructions for application.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather to add an extra layer of protection against the elements.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the leather and overall shape. Do not store in damp conditions.
