FAQs
What type of material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of leather.
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
While they have skate-inspired details, they are primarily designed for everyday casual wear and may not offer the specialized features or durability required for serious skateboarding.
How do I clean the platform sole?
You can clean the platform sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
What is the fit like?
The shoes feature a regular fit, and this specific pair is a UK size 10. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. The shoes should be allowed to dry naturally if they get wet.
What is the main difference from the classic Grand Court?
The GC Alpha SK8 updates the Grand Court profile with skate-inspired details and a mid-height platform, offering a more contemporary and slightly edgier aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight upon first wear.
Leather will stretch and mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. If persistent discomfort occurs, consider if the size is appropriate or if thicker socks are being used.
Platform feels unstable.
The mid-height platform provides a unique feel. Ensure you are walking naturally and allow time to adjust. If the instability persists, ensure the shoe fits correctly and there are no obstructions.
Leather appears dull or scuffed.
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a leather cleaner or polish suitable for grey leather can help restore the appearance. Periodic conditioning will maintain the leather's luster.
