FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of durable nubuck, with grey reflective detailing.
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
The Court Graffik SE are designed for general skateboarding and casual wear. While durable, they may not offer the highly specialized features required for professional-level street or vert skating.
How do I clean the nubuck material?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, specialized nubuck cleaners can be used. Always allow to air dry naturally.
Do these shoes have good ankle support?
They feature extra padding in the collar, offering a good level of comfort and moderate support suitable for skateboarding and daily activities.
What does 'SE' stand for in the product name?
While not explicitly defined in the product description, 'SE' often denotes a 'Special Edition' or a specific variation of a classic model.
How do I know if UK size 11.5 will fit me?
Sizing can vary between brands. It is recommended to check customer reviews for fit information or compare with shoes you currently own that fit well.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
While the nubuck can be treated for water resistance, they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are properly dried if they get wet.
Troubleshooting
Laces break easily
Replace laces with a more durable, skate-specific lace material. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can cause premature wear.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris. The tread pattern is designed for grip tape; performance on highly polished or wet surfaces may vary.
Padding feels too tight initially
The padding is designed to break in over time. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Compatibility: Compatible with most types of skateboarding, including street and park skating. Suitable for casual wear with a variety of outfits.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For general dirt, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the nubuck and sole. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Protection: Consider using a suede or nubuck protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially for the nubuck sections.
