FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear or just skateboarding?
While designed for skateboarding, their comfort and weather-resistant features make them suitable for everyday wear, especially in cooler or damp conditions.
How often should I reapply the water-resistant treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. It is generally recommended to reapply every few months or when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface.
What is the primary benefit of the 3M Thinsulate lining?
The 3M Thinsulate lining provides excellent thermal insulation, keeping your feet warmer in cold weather without adding excessive bulk.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, insulation, and water-resistant treatment. Clean with a damp cloth instead.
What does 'MTW' stand for?
MTW typically stands for 'Mid Top Winterized' or similar, indicating features designed for colder weather and potentially a mid-top cut for ankle support, though this specific model appears to be a low-top with winter features.
How does the reverse lug tread improve traction?
The reverse lug tread pattern is designed to create more points of contact and grip surfaces effectively, providing stability and control during skateboarding.
What size foot does UK 10.5 correspond to?
UK 10.5 is a standard men's UK shoe size, designed for adults with feet measuring approximately 28.5 cm (11.2 inches) in length.

Feet feel too warm
