FAQs
Can I remove the support strap?
Yes, the support strap is designed to be fully detachable, allowing you to customize the look and feel of the shoe.
Are these shoes true to size?
The JS 1 series generally follows standard sizing, though the thick padding may make them feel slightly more snug than thinner canvas trainers.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a suede-specific eraser. Do not use soap and water, as this can damage the suede.
Is the sole non-marking?
The rubber compound used is designed for high grip in skate environments, which is generally suitable for most surfaces.
What is the primary function of the TPR heel stabilizer?
The TPR heel stabilizer provides rigid support at the back of the shoe to prevent heel slippage and improve overall foot stability.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming loose frequently
Ensure you are threading the laces through all provided leather lace loops to distribute tension evenly across the midfoot.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material by brushing in a single, consistent direction.
Shoes feel too tight with the strap
If the strap feels restrictive, detach it and wear the shoes with standard lacing for a more relaxed, flexible fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your JS 1s, ensure you lace them through the leather loops to achieve your desired tightness; start from the bottom and work your way up to ensure consistent pressure. If you prefer a locked-in feeling for physical activity, attach the included strap across the midfoot. For care, since the primary upper material is suede, avoid fully immersing the shoes in water. Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for stubborn scuffs. To maintain shape, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and consider using shoe trees if they get wet from rain to prevent the leather from warping as it dries.
