What shoes should I get to help me with skate tricks?

Tricks with Fallen Relapse Shoes

If you want to get better at skateboarding tricks, the Fallen Relapse may be the right version of Fallen Skate shoes for you. The reason being that they not only carry all the signature features of Fallen shoes like:

  • Leather or Heavy Duty Suede Upper
  • Foam Padded Tongue with extra Stabilizer Strapping
  • Extra Padded Heel Collar
  • Double stitched Eyelets that add extra strength and protect your laces
  • Gel heel Padding for impact cushioning
  • Triple stitching in the Toe Cap

What are the pros and cons of Fallen skate shoes?

Buying Fallen Shoes Online

Fallen shoes are a premium product so although you get the pros of special features, increased durability and improved impact protection, you may have to find a specialty skate shop if you want to buy them locally. This is why buying Fallen shoes online is probably a better bet, depending on where you live.

Try to find an online skate shop that has a good selection and an easy return policy. You'll probably love the shoes, but when you order online you run the risk of not getting the best fit right off the batt. No matter which pair of fallen shoes you get, you're bound to end up with a premium skate shoe that will look great and make your skating that much better.

Cleaning DVS Skate Shoes

  • You can machine wash canvas and fabric skate shoes in cool to warm water, depending on color.
  • Don't bleach or use laundry detergents or cleansers with any chlorine additives because they may cause yellow discoloration.

Cleaning Leather DVS Skate Shoes
  • Start by cleaning dust and any surface soils with a damp cloth.
  • You can spot clean more serious dirt with a gentle detergent or saddle soap. Avoid saturating the material but make sure you test the cleanser on a small area before washing the whole shoe.
  • Pat the leather with a clean soft cloth and dry slowly away from a heat source.

Cleaning Suede DVS Skate Shoes
  • First, you should treat your clean, dry suede skate shoes with waterproofing products.
  • When you need to clean them, gently brush the shoes with a wire brush. Spot clean any dirty surfaces with suede cleaner.
  • Do not saturate your suede skate shoes. Test any cleaners on a small area before proceeding further.
