FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

Yes, the Centennial 85 Low ADV includes features like reinforced toe protection and high-impact EVA cushioning specifically for skate performance.

How do I choose the right size?

The Centennial 85 Low ADV generally fits true to UK sizing. We recommend selecting your standard sneaker size.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can destroy the suede upper and compromise the structural glue of the cupsole.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The shoe features a high-quality suede upper designed for both aesthetic appeal and durability.

Is the sockliner removable?

Yes, the moulded EVA sockliner is designed to be removable if you wish to replace it with a personal orthotic.

Does the cupsole make the shoe heavy?

While cupsole shoes are sturdier than vulcanized models, the use of EVA materials ensures the weight remains reasonable for all-day comfort.

Troubleshooting

The suede is showing water marks or stains.

Use a suede-specific cleaning kit or a dry eraser to gently buff away the discoloration. Never soak the suede in water.

The shoe feels too stiff out of the box.

The cupsole construction requires a break-in period. Wear them for short walks over several days to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot.

Reduced traction on the outsole.

Check the outsole for pebbles or debris embedded in the tread. Wipe the gum rubber with a damp cloth to restore grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-level impact protection via EVA sockliner
  • Excellent durability due to reinforced toe and stitching
  • Stable cupsole provides consistent support
  • Superior grip for skate performance or casual walking
  • Distinctive, high-quality suede aesthetic

Cons

  • Suede material is prone to staining if not protected
  • Requires a brief break-in period for maximum comfort
  • Low-top design offers minimal ankle protection

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Centennial 85 Low ADV shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Suede Protection: Before wearing them outside for the first time, apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede.
  2. Cleaning: Use a dry soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede eraser rather than water, which can damage the nap of the material.
  3. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the purple dye from fading.
  4. Compatibility: These shoes fit true to size. If you plan to use custom orthotics, the moulded EVA sockliner is removable, though it is recommended to keep the original for optimal performance design balance.
