FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
Yes, the supportive and durable design makes them a good option for beginners looking for a reliable skate shoe.
What is the difference between cup sole and vulcanized construction?
Cup sole construction (found in these shoes) typically offers more cushioning and support. Vulcanized construction, common in many skate shoes, provides excellent board feel but can sometimes offer less impact protection.
How do I maintain the black and green color?
Keep the suede clean using appropriate methods. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors over time.
Can these trainers be worn for casual everyday use?
Yes, they offer comfort and style for casual wear, but be mindful that their primary design is for skateboarding, so heavy wear might show faster than on casual-specific shoes.
What is the expected lifespan for these trainers?
The lifespan depends heavily on the frequency and intensity of use. For dedicated skaters, they are built for durability but will eventually show wear. For casual use, they should last considerably longer.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, suede and mesh materials are not inherently waterproof. While they offer some resistance, they are not designed to be submerged in water.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or scuffed
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid wet cleaning methods.
Laces wear out quickly
Replace with durable skate-specific laces, often made from synthetic materials that resist abrasion better.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris. The rubber compound is designed for grip, but dirt can impede traction. If the issue persists on smooth surfaces, it may be a characteristic of the material.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Suede: To clean suede, use a specialized suede brush or a dry toothbrush to gently remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be used. Avoid using water, as it can damage the suede.
- Protecting from Elements: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can cause the suede to shrink or become stiff.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag to protect them from dust.
