FAQs
Are these shoes good for professional skateboarding?
While designed with skateboarding in mind ('SB'), they are best suited for casual skating and daily wear. For highly aggressive or professional skateboarding, specialized shoes with enhanced durability and cushioning might be preferred.
How do I clean the white canvas?
Gently brush off loose dirt, then use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Blot the area clean and allow to air dry.
What is the purpose of the 'SB' designation?
The 'SB' (Skateboarding) designation means the shoe has been designed with features beneficial for skateboarding, such as improved grip, board feel, and durability in key areas.
Can these shoes be worn by women?
Yes, the 'White Gum' colorway is listed as unisex, making them suitable for anyone regardless of gender.
What is the main benefit of the gum sole?
The gum sole provides excellent traction and grip, which is essential for control on a skateboard and stability on various surfaces.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
The shoes provide basic cushioning and support suitable for general wear and skateboarding. For users requiring significant arch support, consider using aftermarket insoles.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size chart and check your UK shoe size. The listed size (e.g., UK 9) corresponds to the specific product variant.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight on first wear
Canvas shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they mold to your feet.
Gum sole is scuffed or dirty
Use a damp cloth or a magic eraser to gently clean scuff marks from the gum sole. Ensure the sole is dry before use.
Canvas material appears worn after skating
This is normal wear for skate shoes. For extended durability, consider reinforcing high-wear areas with skate patches or tape if necessary.
