Product Information

Full details

The key benefit is their streamlined, low-profile design that allows for precise movement and better control during technical skate sessions.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for beginners?

Yes, while designed for pro-level quality, their durable construction and good board feel can benefit skaters of all levels, especially those focusing on learning tricks.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a suede-specific cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and allow the shoes to air dry.

What is the main advantage of the low-profile design?

The low-profile design enhances board feel, allowing skaters to have more precise control and a better connection with their skateboard during tricks.

Can I wear these shoes for everyday casual use?

Yes, the Converse As-1 Pro Low Shoes are also suitable for casual wear, offering a stylish and comfortable option.

Do these shoes offer good ankle support?

These are low-top shoes, meaning they offer minimal ankle support. They prioritize mobility and board feel. If significant ankle support is a priority, a mid or high-top skate shoe might be more suitable.

What are the primary materials used in construction?

The primary material for the upper is durable suede, with a rubber sole typical for skate shoes.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks dirty or stained

Gently brush away loose dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a slightly damp cloth, blotting gently. Allow to air dry completely.

Laces are wearing out quickly

Ensure laces are not rubbing excessively against the eyelets or shoe material. Consider using reinforced skate laces for increased durability.

Sole feels too thin for rough terrain

These shoes are designed for board feel. For sessions requiring more cushioning on rough terrain, consider adding an aftermarket insole or choosing a shoe with a thicker sole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent board feel due to low-profile design
  • Durable suede construction withstands skate wear
  • Aids in technical skateboarding maneuvers
  • Streamlined shape for precise movement

Cons

  • Suede material may require specific cleaning and care
  • Low-profile design might offer less ankle support for some users
  • May wear faster with very aggressive skating styles if not properly cared for

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring they fit comfortably. For optimal performance, ensure laces are tied securely but not overly tight to allow for natural foot movement.

Compatibility: Designed for skateboarding, these shoes are compatible with all types of skateboards.

Care:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Drying: Air dry naturally. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can damage the suede.
  • Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, though this may slightly alter the texture.
