# My shoes feel too small or too tight, what do I do?

Before you make a hasty decision and return the shoes, we would like to give you some tips and tricks concerning the skate shoes we offer.

**When trying on new skate shoes, ** it is very common you experience them as too tight at first. Quality Skateboard shoes are made from a stiffer suede, which makes them extra sturdy for skateboarding. In the beginning they are a bit tight, but after wearing them in for a couple of hours, they will adjust to your foot, widen and fit perfectly.

**Optimal fitting:**
Make sure the shoes fit well lengthwise, if necessary walk around with them at home on a clean surface to make sure the sole does not get damaged or dirty. There's a good chance the shoe will start adjusting to your foot within half an hour, so it will fit properly.

**Need another size:**
Is the shoe too big or too small lengthwise? Then order the right size via our website and register a return for this pair. This way you do not have to wait for the processing of your return and can quickly enjoy your new shoes.
