FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, they provide sufficient support and stability for daily walking, though they are specifically engineered with a firmer sole to meet the performance needs of skateboarders.
How do I determine my size?
The SB Vertebrae fits true to size, but since it is a performance trainer, a snug fit is recommended to prevent slippage during activity.
Can I put these shoes in the dryer?
No, you should never put your trainers in the dryer as the heat can damage the adhesives and cause the materials to shrink or warp.
What is the primary material used in the construction?
The SB Vertebrae utilizes durable, performance-focused materials chosen for their ability to resist wear and tear.
Are these unisex?
This model is marketed for adult males, though the sizing can be adapted based on foot measurements.
Do they provide arch support?
The shoes offer a standard athletic footbed profile that provides balanced support suitable for most foot types.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too stiff during the first wear.
The SB Vertebrae is designed for durability, which often includes a stiffer initial fit. Try wearing them for short periods around the house to help the materials break in naturally.
Surface scuffs appearing on the exterior.
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently buff away marks without damaging the material surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike SB Vertebrae trainers last as long as possible, start by ensuring you have selected your correct UK size for a snug, secure fit. When cleaning, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive breakdown. Keep the laces properly secured during use to maintain the intended support structure of the shoe.
