Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially.
This is normal for new, durable skate shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to break them in. Gentle flexing can also help.
Tread wear on the outsole.
Some wear is expected with heavy skateboarding. Ensure you are using them for intended purposes. For excessive wear, check for consistent friction points or improper technique.
Laces fraying or breaking.
Replace frayed laces with new, durable skate laces. Ensure knots are not tied too tightly, which can stress the lace material.
