FAQs
What age group are these shoes designed for?
These shoes are designed for kids and are available in various UK children's sizes.
How durable is the rubber printed toe cap?
The rubber printed toe cap is designed for enhanced durability against abrasion, common in skateboarding tricks like flicking the board.
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
Yes, the grip and supportive design make them a good choice for beginner skaters.
Can these shoes be worn for everyday activities, not just skating?
Absolutely. The STI Comfort Level 1 insole and padded collar provide comfort for general daily wear.
How do I know if I'm ordering the correct size?
The sizing is provided in UK children's foot measurements. It's recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to a UK sizing chart.
What is the main benefit of the tyre tread outsole?
The tyre tread outsole offers superior grip and enhanced durability, designed to withstand the wear and tear of skateboarding.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too stiff
Wear the shoes for a few skating sessions or walks to break them in. The flex grooves will become more pronounced with use.
Laces are fraying quickly
Utilize the hidden lace loops to protect the laces during skating. Consider using more durable skate-specific laces if fraying persists.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush to remove any dirt or debris that may be stuck in the tyre tread pattern.
Insole feels too thin
If additional cushioning is desired, consider purchasing aftermarket insoles that can be placed over the existing STI Comfort Level 1 insole.
