Troubleshooting
Sizing appears incorrect
Refer to a standard UK adult foot sizing chart for comparison. Ensure feet are measured correctly, typically in the afternoon when feet are at their largest.
Initial stiffness
New trainers can feel stiff. Wear them for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. The materials will soften with use.
Tread wear after heavy use
Normal wear and tear on the sole is expected with significant skateboarding. For extended durability, consider rotating footwear or performing lighter tricks.
