FAQs
Are these shoes good for beginners?
Yes, the supportive cupsole and impact protection make them suitable for beginners who need durable shoes that can withstand learning and minor impacts.
How does the ABZORB midsole benefit my skating?
The ABZORB midsole provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption, which helps to protect your feet and joints from the impact of landings during tricks.
Will the rubber underlays make the shoes too stiff?
The rubber underlays are strategically placed to enhance durability in high-wear areas without significantly compromising the shoe's flexibility or comfort.
How often should I replace these shoes?
The lifespan depends on skating frequency and style. The durable construction with rubber underlays and suede suggests they will last longer than many vulcanized alternatives, but heavy use will eventually lead to wear.
Can these shoes be worn for casual use, or only for skating?
While designed for skateboarding, their comfort and style also make them suitable for casual everyday wear.
What is the difference between this cupsole version and a vulcanized 306?
The cupsole construction offers more inherent support and durability, along with better impact protection. Vulcanized shoes are typically more flexible and offer a better board feel but less cushioning and durability.
What is the material of the shoe?
The shoe features a combination of suede overlays for durability and a mesh base for breathability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or small
As advised, these shoes run small. Try purchasing a half-size larger. If the current pair is already owned, consider wearing thinner socks or attempting to stretch them gently with appropriate shoe stretchers.
Suede material looks dirty or scuffed
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water on suede unless absolutely necessary and always allow to air dry.
Laces are fraying or breaking
Replace with durable skate-specific laces. Consider a slightly thicker lace material for added longevity.
Sole feels stiff initially
This is normal for cupsole skate shoes. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration to break them in. Skating will naturally help to soften the sole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Sizing Advice: These shoes are noted to run small. It is recommended to purchase a half-size larger than your usual shoe size for optimal fit. If you are unsure, consult the brand's sizing chart or contact customer support for assistance.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For suede and mesh areas, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For stubborn marks on suede, a suede eraser can be used. For mesh, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring not to saturate the material. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Cleaning the Sole: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with paper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry completely.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the materials and prevent deformation.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for skateboarding, these trainers are compatible with standard skateboard griptape. They are suitable for adult users.
