FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, the SK8-HI is a heritage skate shoe, though the leather construction provides a different feel compared to traditional canvas models.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers follow standard adult UK sizing. We recommend choosing your usual athletic shoe size.
Is the leather upper easy to clean?
Leather is generally easier to clean than fabric; a damp cloth and mild soap are usually sufficient for routine maintenance.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
They offer standard flat-sole support common in vulcanized sneakers. Those requiring significant arch support may consider adding an aftermarket insole.
Are they water-resistant?
While the leather upper is more water-resistant than canvas, the shoes are not waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff after initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors with thick socks to help soften the leather gradually.
Scuffs on the white leather surface
Use a specialized leather eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff out minor surface scuffs.
Laces becoming loose during activity
Ensure the laces are threaded through the top eyelets securely and consider a double knot if walking for extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are made of leather, proper care is essential to maintain their finish. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt from the surface. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather-safe cleaner with a microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals that may strip the color. To ensure the best fit, ensure your socks are of medium thickness during the first few wears, as this helps mold the leather to your foot shape. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
