Troubleshooting
Laces loosening during skating
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing standard laces with speed-lacing systems or lace locks for a more robust hold.
Reduced grip on the skateboard
Check the outsole for excessive wear or accumulated debris. Clean the sole with a brush and water. If the outsole is significantly worn, consider replacement.
Discomfort or pressure points
Adjust the lacing to relieve pressure. Ensure you have selected the correct size. Trying the shoes on before purchase or consulting the size chart is recommended.
Squeaking noises from the shoes
This can sometimes occur with new shoes or due to moisture. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe or to the tongue area. Ensure shoes are completely dry.
