Troubleshooting

Laces wear out quickly

Replace laces with durable, skate-specific laces. Ensure laces are not overly tightened to reduce friction.

Velvet material looks matted or dirty

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently brush the velvet in its natural direction. For stains, use a damp cloth with a minimal amount of mild soap and spot clean carefully. Always allow to air dry.

Sole starts to detach

Minor sole detachment can sometimes be repaired with specialized shoe adhesive designed for footwear. For significant detachment, professional repair may be necessary or replacement.

Uncomfortable fit after initial wear

Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for your foot shape. Skate shoes often require a break-in period; wear them for short periods initially.
