These shoes offer exceptional durability and impact protection, making them ideal for high-intensity skate sessions, though the specialized structure may feel stiffer than standard lifestyle sneakers until properly broken in.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, they provide good support, though they are specifically built for the impact and movement patterns of skateboarding.
Do I need to size up for the SB Vertebrae?
They generally fit true to size, but skate shoes are designed for a snug, secure fit to maximize control.
How do I maintain the white color?
Regularly wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and consider using a leather-safe protectant spray to repel dirt.
Can I use these for other sports?
They are specifically engineered for skateboarding. We do not recommend them for running or court sports.
Are these durable enough for daily skating?
The SB Vertebrae is built with high-quality materials specifically to resist the wear caused by griptape.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness during first use
Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to allow the materials to flex and conform to your foot shape.
Griptape marks on the upper
Use a specialized rubber eraser block to gently lift dirt and marks from the material surface without damaging the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike SB Vertebrae trainers last, lace them firmly to lock the foot in place, which prevents internal slippage during movement. For sizing, these follow standard adult UK sizing; if you prefer a looser fit for casual wear, consider how you intend to use them, as skate shoes are ideally worn snug to prevent movement. To clean, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the outsole. For the white leather or synthetic upper, wipe down with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can degrade the specialized bonding adhesives used in skate shoe manufacturing.
