FAQs

What makes the Vibram® outsole beneficial?

The Vibram® outsole is renowned for its exceptional durability and superior traction, providing a confident grip on a wide range of surfaces, including wet or uneven terrain.

How should I care for the leather cord knots?

Gently wipe the leather knots with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the leather.

Are these suitable for actual skateboarding?

While inspired by skate culture and featuring a durable construction and excellent grip, they are best suited for casual skating or as everyday trainers. For professional-level skateboarding, dedicated skate shoes might offer enhanced features.

What is the benefit of the upgraded interior construction?

The upgraded interior includes a leather footbed with added cushioning, designed to provide enhanced comfort and support for all-day wear.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

The Vibram® outsole offers good grip, but the suede and canvas upper can be susceptible to water damage. It is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and to treat the suede with a water-repellent spray if frequently wearing in damp conditions.

What does 'high foxing tape' refer to?

High foxing tape is a rubber band that runs along the sides of the shoe, above the sole. It adds to the shoe's durability and provides a classic aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a grippier material if slippage persists.

Discomfort after initial wear

Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. The leather footbed and cushioning will conform to your foot over time.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner sparingly and follow instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

These are adult male trainers designed for general footwear use. They are compatible with casual attire and can be worn in various settings where stylish, durable trainers are appropriate.

Care Instructions:

  • Leather Knots: Gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing, which could damage the leather cord.
