Can I remove the hook-and-loop strap permanently?

Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, the inclusion of the DC Pill Pattern outsole and TPR reinforcement makes them well-suited for skate performance.
What is the primary material used?

How do I maintain the leather?

Troubleshooting

Loosen the laces and adjust the removable hook-and-loop strap to a slightly wider position.

Wipe the Super Rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and restore the grip pattern.

Pros and Cons

- Reliable traction on multiple surfaces due to the signature DC Pill Pattern outsole.
- Added structural integrity with TPR tongue and heel stabilizers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your JS 1 shoes last, keep these care instructions in mind:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild leather-safe cleaner, but avoid soaking the material.
- Strap Adjustment: Use the removable hook-and-loop strap to dial in your desired tension; ensure it is aligned correctly with the TPU eyelets to avoid snagging.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the leather to crack or the glue to weaken.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the colour and material flexibility.
