FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

While based on the original skate silhouette, the wool construction and delicate embellishments make these better suited for lifestyle and fashion wear.

How should I clean the Harris Tweed material?

Use a dry, soft brush to remove dust. Do not machine wash or submerge the wool in water.

Do these fit true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adult UK sizing for the Vans series.

Can I remove the studs and crystal embellishments?

No, these are integrated into the design. Removing them may damage the upper fabric.

Why does the sole look distressed?

The distressed gum sole is a intentional design choice to provide a worn-in, vintage aesthetic right out of the box.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty cleaning the wool upper

Avoid water-based cleaners; use a dry soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt from the fibers.

Crystals or studs becoming loose

Avoid dragging the shoe against abrasive surfaces and check embellishments periodically for tightness.

Creasing at the toe box

Insert shoe trees when not in use to help the fabric retain its shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-end material construction with hand-woven wool
  • Sophisticated design that bridges skate culture and high fashion
  • Improved comfort features compared to the original Style 36
  • Unique visual details like crystals and studs for a custom appearance

Cons

  • Wool material requires protection from heavy rain and staining
  • Embellishments require careful handling during cleaning
  • Less rugged for intense skateboarding compared to canvas models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the upper is crafted from premium wool, you should avoid machine washing or soaking these shoes. To maintain the integrity of the Harris Tweed, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt or debris. If the wool gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent shrinkage or warping of the fabric. The front lace-up closure allows for a customizable fit, ensuring the shoe stays secure during daily movement. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to maintain the shape of the toe cap.
