Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?

Yes, the Sk8-Mid 83 features the classic rubber waffle outsole designed for grip and board feel, making them suitable for light to moderate skating.

How do I find my size?

The product is based on standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual size, keeping in mind they may feel slightly snug initially.

Can these be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can compromise the glue and material quality. Stick to spot cleaning.

Does the mid-top offer ankle support?

The mid-top design provides more stability than a low-top sneaker while remaining more flexible than a traditional high-top.

What materials are used for the exterior?

The Sk8-Mid 83 uses durable materials designed for daily wear, including premium leather components on many variants in this series.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff upon first use

Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to allow the materials to soften and break in naturally.

Surface dirt accumulation on the red material

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp, lint-free cloth and mild detergent, then allow to air dry away from heat sources.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure the laces are threaded properly and double-knot them if you require additional security during active use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers arrive ready to wear right out of the box, though a brief period of wear is recommended to allow the materials to contour to your foot shape. When it comes to care, spot cleaning with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution is the most effective way to remove dirt or surface stains. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes fully in water, as this can weaken the adhesive bonds and damage the structural integrity of the materials. To ensure longevity, keep them stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Since these are standard UK sizing, ensure you verify your measurement before purchase to guarantee an accurate fit.
