FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though preferences for snugness in slip-ons can vary.

Can I use these for running?

These are designed for skateboarding and lifestyle use; they do not provide the arch support or cushioning required for running.

How do I maintain the checkerboard pattern?

Gently clean with a soft brush and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that may cause the pattern to fade.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

They are primarily canvas-based and not waterproof, so it is best to avoid heavy rain to maintain the material.

Do I need to break them in?

Yes, as with most skate shoes, they may feel stiff out of the box but will become more comfortable after consistent use.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

Canvas material often stretches slightly after a few wears; ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for skating.

Heel slipping while walking

Ensure the shoe size is correct and consider using a thin insole if extra volume is needed in the heel area.

Sole losing grip over time

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp brush to remove grit and dust, which can accumulate and reduce friction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic and timeless checkerboard design
  • Highly durable construction for longevity
  • Excellent grip for board control
  • Easy to take on and off
  • Versatile style for casual or skate use

Cons

  • Lack of laces means less adjustable fit
  • May require a break-in period for maximum comfort
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic activities beyond skating

Setup, Compatibility & Care

There is no complex setup required; simply slide the shoes on and ensure the heel is seated comfortably. For care, keep the shoes clean by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the adhesives and structural integrity of the rubber and canvas. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent material stiffening.
