Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is common for new skate shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to break them in. Gentle flexing of the shoe can also help.
Soles separating from the upper
While designed for durability, extreme stress can cause separation. For minor separation, a specialized shoe adhesive can be used. Contact customer support if the issue is severe or occurs soon after purchase.
Reduced grip on the sole
Check the sole for debris or wear. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If the tread is significantly worn down, it may be time to consider replacement.
