Product Information
Full details
The Osiris Clone trainers are designed for adult males seeking a durable and stylish skate shoe with enhanced grip and impact protection. While offering a classic high-top silhouette with modern construction for skateboarding, the primary caveat is that they are specifically styled for skate performance and may not be ideal for all-day casual wear for those prioritizing plush comfort over board feel. Key features include a double-stitched synthetic leather upper, a secure lacing system, lightweight padding, and a FLX VLK sole for superior grip and flexibility.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for beginners in skateboarding?
Yes, the Osiris Clone trainers offer good grip, durability, and impact protection, making them a solid choice for beginner skaters.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart and ensure there is a snug fit without being too tight. There should be minimal heel lift when walking, and your toes should not feel cramped when standing.
Can I wear these for sports other than skateboarding?
While designed for skateboarding, their durable construction and grip make them suitable for casual wear. However, they may not provide the specific support or cushioning needed for high-impact sports like basketball or running.
How does the 'FLX VLK' sole construction benefit me?
The FLX VLK sole is designed to enhance flexibility and grip, giving you better board feel and control while skateboarding. It allows your foot to move more naturally and securely connect with the board.
What is the primary benefit of the EVA drop-in insole?
The compression-moulded EVA drop-in insole provides significant impact protection, helping to absorb shock during landings and reducing stress on your feet and joints.
How do I clean the red and holo-grey details?
For the synthetic leather parts with color details, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For the holo-grey elements, gentle wiping should suffice to maintain their reflective quality.
What is the difference between these high tops and Osiris Clone low shoes?
The primary difference is the ankle cut. High tops offer more ankle support and protection, while low shoes provide more freedom of movement around the ankle. Both share the core technology and design principles of the Osiris Clone series.
Troubleshooting
Laces break frequently
Ensure the combination lacing system is not overtightened. Inspect eyelets for sharp edges. Consider using reinforced skate laces for maximum durability.
Reduced grip on the board
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a brush and water to remove accumulated dirt and dust. Ensure the grip tape on your skateboard is in good condition.
Foot fatigue after skating sessions
Check if the EVA drop-in insole is properly seated. Ensure the shoes are laced correctly for adequate support. Consider trying aftermarket insoles if more cushioning is desired for extended sessions.
Material scuffs easily
Synthetic leather can scuff. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth can often remove superficial marks. For deeper scuffs, specific leather care products might be used cautiously, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
