FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
These shoes are designed for comfort and light skateboarding. For professional-level skateboarding requiring maximum durability and board feel, you might consider shoes with more robust construction.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand cleaning with a soft brush or damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the primary benefit of the STI Evolution foam outsole?
The STI Evolution foam outsole provides lightweight cushioning, shock absorption, and increased durability compared to standard EVA foam.
How does the elastic heel support affect the fit?
The elastic heel support helps to keep the shoe securely on your foot and also allows for the shoe to be worn in a 'drop-top' or slip-on style, making them easier to put on and take off.
What type of socks are best with these shoes?
These shoes work well with most types of socks. Thin to medium-thickness socks are generally recommended to maintain the intended snug fit from the lycra lining.
