FAQs
Are these shoes good for beginners?
Yes, while designed with pro-level features, their durability and board feel also benefit beginners learning technical skills. However, beginners may prefer more cushioning or ankle support depending on their skating style.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight. There should be a little room for your toes. It's recommended to try them on if possible, or refer to Converse's sizing chart.
What makes these shoes different from regular Converse sneakers?
These are specifically engineered for skateboarding with reinforced materials, a durable cupsole, and a design focused on board feel and impact resistance, unlike casual Converse models.
How long can I expect these shoes to last?
Durability varies greatly depending on skating frequency, intensity, and style. The reinforced areas are designed for extended wear, but significant wear is expected with regular, hard use.
Can I wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these skate shoes. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain their structure and materials.
Do they come in other colors?
Yes, the Converse Louie Lopez Pro 2 series is available in various colors, including White and Black, in addition to this specific black model.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
This is normal as the shoes have a break-in period. Wear them for short sessions and gradually increase the duration. Natural foot movement will help soften the materials.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean. If the issue persists, consider that the rubber compound is designed for grip on a skateboard deck, and grip on other surfaces may vary.
Laces break easily
Consider replacing the standard laces with more durable skate-specific laces designed to withstand abrasion.
Wear on the toe or ollie area after a few sessions
While reinforced, extreme or continuous ollie practice can still cause wear. Focus on technique or consider using lace-saving methods if this is a frequent issue.
