FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for professional skateboarding?

While the Sk8-Hi Reconstruct features durable construction, they are primarily designed for casual wear and light skateboarding. For professional use, dedicated skate shoes with specific performance features might be more suitable.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the product size options and ensure you select the UK size that corresponds to your foot measurement. Comparing with a previously well-fitting shoe can also be helpful.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

These trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended and may affect the materials.

What is the main difference between Sk8-Hi and Sk8-Hi Reconstruct?

The 'Reconstruct' series often implies updated materials or construction methods, potentially focusing on enhanced durability or unique aesthetic details compared to the original Sk8-Hi model.

How should I care for the blue colour?

To maintain the vibrancy of the blue colour, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not wearing them. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, and allow to air dry.

Do these trainers come in other colours?

The Vans Sk8-Hi series is available in a wide range of colours and designs. Please check other product listings for alternative colour options.

Troubleshooting

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure you are tying a secure knot. Consider using different lacing techniques or lace locks if the issue persists.

Slight stiffness during initial wear

This is normal for new trainers. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Wearing thicker socks can also help during the break-in phase.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the waffle outsole is clean. For particularly smooth or wet surfaces, exercise caution as with any footwear.
