Can I use these for skateboarding?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to allow the materials to soften and conform to your feet.
Stains appearing on the fabric
Use a dry eraser or soft brush for surface dirt; avoid soaking the shoe in water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are lace-up trainers, ensure the tension is adjusted to match your preferred fit; keep them slightly looser for a relaxed feel or tighter for extra stability. They are highly compatible with casual wear, ranging from shorts to chinos. To care for your shoes, avoid machine washing as this can damage the structural integrity and glue. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or mud. For tougher stains, use a specialized sneaker cleaner and a damp cloth. It is highly recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray before the first use to protect the blue and black fabric surfaces.
