FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, if you are between sizes, many users prefer to size up for a slightly more relaxed fit.
Are these suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, the Old Skool design is a classic choice for skating, featuring a durable upper and a high-grip rubber waffle outsole.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, high heat can damage the glue holding the sole to the upper and may shrink or deform the materials.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the canvas material is not waterproof and may absorb moisture if worn in heavy rain.
How do I keep the black color looking vibrant?
Keep the shoes out of direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use to prevent color fading, and brush away dust regularly.
Troubleshooting
White rubber sole showing scuff marks
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff away surface marks.
Shoes feeling too tight after wearing
Canvas material often breaks in after a few wears; if discomfort persists, ensure laces are adjusted for a customized fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. To maintain their appearance, wipe the rubber foxing (the white strip along the side) with a damp cloth or a specialized sneaker cleaning solution to remove scuffs. For the canvas upper, a soft-bristled brush can be used to remove loose dirt. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the adhesive and the structural integrity of the shoe. If they become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
