FAQs
What makes the sole durable?
The sole is made from durable rubber with a tread pattern inspired by tyre treads, designed for longevity and grip.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
These shoes are designed with a standard fit. If your child has particularly wide feet, it may be worth considering trying them on first or looking at models known for a wider last.
How do I clean the grey and white colorway?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap if necessary. Avoid bleach or harsh detergents. Allow to air dry.
Can my child wear these for sports other than skateboarding?
Yes, the cushioning and support make them suitable for general athletic activities and everyday casual wear.
What is the benefit of the rubber printed toe cap?
The rubber printed toe cap provides extra durability and protection against abrasion, which is common during skateboarding.
How do the hidden lace loops work?
These loops are integrated into the shoe's design to hold the laces in place, preventing them from flapping loose during activity.
Troubleshooting
Tread wear seems excessive.
Ensure the child is using the shoes for their intended purpose. Skateboarding inherently causes wear; consider rotating shoes or using a different pair for intense skating sessions.
Laces keep coming undone.
Double-knot the laces. Utilize the hidden lace loops to keep them secured and out of the way.
Insole feels flat after prolonged use.
The EVA insole provides initial cushioning. For extended wear or increased support needs, consider replacing the insole with a compatible aftermarket option.
