Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied tightly using a secure knot. Consider double-knotting if necessary.
Material appears dirty after light use
Wipe down the leather and Flyknit with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Ensure the cloth is not overly wet.
Reduced grip on the board
Check the outsole for excessive wear or debris. Clean the rubber sole with a brush to restore traction. Skateboarding use naturally wears down outsoles over time.
Discomfort during wear
Ensure the correct size is being worn and laces are adjusted properly. Break-in period may be required for new shoes.
