Troubleshooting
Laces fraying quickly
Consider replacing with more durable skate-specific laces. Ensure knots are not excessively tight.
Sole separating from upper
This indicates significant wear. For minor separation, a strong adhesive designed for footwear may offer a temporary fix. For extensive separation, replacement may be necessary.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The tread pattern is optimized for dry grip. For wet conditions, exercise caution or consider shoes with a more aggressive tread pattern.
Inner lining wearing out
Ensure proper fit to prevent excessive friction. Consider wearing thicker socks or using heel grips if the wear is localized.
