FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for beginners?

While designed for pro-level performance, the durable construction and board feel can also benefit beginners learning technical skills. However, some may prefer more ankle support initially.

How do I maintain the brown suede color?

Regular brushing with a suede brush helps maintain the nap and color. Use a suede protector spray to guard against UV fading and stains. Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Can I wear these for casual use, not just skating?

Yes, the Converse Cons As-1 Pro Suede trainers are also suitable for casual wear, offering style and comfort. However, to preserve their skate-specific performance features, it's best to avoid excessive wear in non-skate environments.

What is the primary benefit of the low-profile design?

The low-profile design minimizes bulk, allowing for greater agility and precision in foot movements, which is crucial for executing complex skateboarding tricks.

How does the suede material hold up to skate abuse?

The suede is chosen for its durability and ability to withstand the abrasion typically caused by skateboard griptape and rough surfaces during skating.

What is the expected lifespan of these shoes for regular skateboarding?

The lifespan depends on the frequency and intensity of skating. The durable suede and construction are designed for longevity in skate conditions, but regular, heavy use will naturally wear down any shoe.

Troubleshooting

Suede showing water marks

Allow the shoes to air dry completely. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent marks, a suede eraser may help. Consider applying a suede protector spray to prevent future water stains.

Reduced grip on the board

Ensure the sole is clean from dirt and debris. If the sole appears worn, it may be time to consider replacement for optimal performance.

Stiffness after getting wet

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Do not use artificial heat sources. Once fully dry, flex the shoe gently to regain suppleness. Brush the suede to restore texture.

Scuff marks on the suede

Use a suede eraser to gently lift scuff marks. For deeper marks, a suede brush may help blend the area. Be cautious not to scrub too aggressively.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Suede: To clean, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying away from direct heat. Avoid using water excessively. A suede eraser can also be effective for spot cleaning.
  • Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
