FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adult men.
Can I use these for running?
While they are comfortable, they are engineered specifically for skateboarding and lack the cushioning technology found in dedicated running trainers.
How do I keep the white sections clean?
Spot clean the white areas with a specialized sneaker cleaner or mild soapy water using a soft-bristled brush.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
The materials are durable but not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect the longevity of the adhesives.
What is the primary material used?
The SB Vertebrae series utilizes high-quality, durable synthetic and leather-based materials designed for maximum abrasion resistance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
This is normal for performance skate shoes. Wear them casually for a few days to allow the material to flex.
Visible surface stains
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild detergent to gently spot clean the exterior.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or a secure loop technique, as skate shoe laces are designed to be tightened for maximum stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Nike SB Vertebrae trainers, ensure you choose the correct UK size, as the fit is designed to be secure for performance. New shoes may feel rigid; it is recommended to wear them for short periods during light activity before long-duration sessions. For care, avoid machine washing to maintain the structural integrity of the materials. Instead, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping or becoming brittle.
