FAQs
Are these shoes good for beginners?
While designed for pro-level skating, their durability and board feel can benefit beginners looking for a long-lasting and responsive shoe. However, the focus on board feel might mean less cushioning than some beginner-oriented shoes.

How long can I expect these shoes to last?
Durability varies greatly depending on skating frequency and style. The reinforced areas are designed to extend their lifespan, but heavy use will naturally wear them down over time.

Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces and wear the shoes around for a while to allow them to break in. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the soles are clean and free of excessive dirt or debris. New shoes may have a slightly slicker feel initially until they wear in.
Accelerated wear on ollie/kickflip area
While reinforced, extreme use can still cause wear. Rotate between multiple pairs of skate shoes if possible, or consider using skate lace protectors.
Difficulty with board feel
Ensure laces are tied correctly and not too tight, which can impede feel. The low-profile design is intended to maximize board feel, so adjust expectations if accustomed to thicker-soled shoes.
