Size & Fit
Emerica footwear is built to fit true to size, so your usual size is the best place to start. Because skate shoes are designed for board feel, control, and support, a snug fit out of the box is normal and will ease up slightly after a few sessions.
For exact measurements, check our Size Guide.

Care & Maintenance
Built to skate and made to last, Emerica footwear will hold up best with regular, low-effort care. Brush off dirt after sessions, spot clean gently with a soft cloth or brush, and let your shoes air dry naturally.
Store them in a cool, dry place between wears, and avoid direct heat or harsh washing methods. A little maintenance goes a long way in preserving the fit, feel, and life of your pair.

Comfortable shoe with lots of space in the toe box. Good cushion and arch support. Would love these in a white leather and a gum rubber sole with blue or green accents on the logo!

Surprisingly comfortable right out of the box, great board feel and solid impact cushioning. And they’re super stylish which doesn’t hurt. Great shoe, Spanky!
HI Nico,
Thank you so much for your awesome review. We’re stoked to hear that you love how they skate.
At Emerica, impact protection and board feel are just as important as the look, and we’re glad to hear you prioritize the same things. Wishing you plenty of clean kickflips in those shoes!
Please don’t hesitate to reach out again on the review page anytime.
Cheers,

These shoes are excellent! Comfortable and skateable right out of the box, stock insole is thick and soft. These are what skate shoes should look and feel like. Some people are saying to order half a size down - I wouldn't go that far, but if you're between sizes go with the smaller size (I have a suede pair, not sure if this is true for the leathers). Seriously, great shoe, please keep this one around for a while.
Hi Gumby,
Thank you so much for your review. The more sizing information we have, the easier it is for customers to choose the right fit, so we really appreciate you sharing your experience. We put a lot of effort into the KSL III, and we’re glad to hear that you like it too!
Thanks again, and feel free to come back and leave another review anytime.

Tts fit. Took a few weeks to break in and had to deal with hotspots on my pinkie toes during break in. I suspect you won’t have to deal with that with the suede pairs of this shoe, but this pair was too clean to pass up. Hardly any wear with daily skating 3 weeks in. Very happy with this purchase.

Best Skate Shoe I've had in a long time. This is my second pair now of the all black and I love how the shoe has no break in time. Put it on and it's ready to go. Non-stop flip tricks with this toe. The cusole adds just enough protection while allowing a lot of board feel still. I also really dig the padding around the ankles. Please don't stop making the all black colorway!

I fell in love with these shoes when I saw the promotional video and viewed them on the Emerica website. When they finally arrived at my home, I immediately felt super comfortable! I had been searching for a pair of shoes like this for a long time. They remind me of my favorite shoes from when I was a kid!
Hi Riccardo,
Wow! So cool to hear that you love your new KSL III. I totally agree about the fit, they’re incredibly comfortable from the first wear to the last. Thank you for choosing KSL III and leaving an awesome review. Happy shreeding!

I’d Recommend order a half size down if you’re able to. Nice wide toe box. Great quality materials. Broken in right out of the box.

The Accel Slim and Reynolds G6 are the best shoes I’ve experienced from the fka Soletech. These are miles ahead. They remind me of the Reynolds 2 which I love. But they’re not bulky, while feeling protective. Whatever they have going on to lock in your heel works to perfection. The compound for the sole is something that’s kept me away from the three E’s for a while. They felt dead from day one. These are on par with all the big boys. Plenty of grip, but the flick is chef’s kiss. Sole feels great. I wish the midsole went all the way through, but the execution makes me forget about it. My impact days are long behind me, so take that with a grain of salt. They have good board feel and don’t hurt my feet. The padding is perfect for me. Enough to feel protected, but also gives you feedback. So 2 thumbs way up from me. Please do more of this. It’s been too long since I’ve enjoyed a shoe from a brand I’ve supported more than any other brand in nearly 30 years. You’re onto something with this one. Keep them coming.
Hey Frank,
This feedback is absolutely gold! Two thumbs up is a huge compliment, and we promise to keep them coming! We make quality products to support legends like you, thanks for being a loyal customer of Emerica. Have a good one!

Just to be clear, this is a cupsole, not a vulc (some websites have the word “vulcanized” in the description). A really good shoe. True to size, short break in time, midsole and insole feel comfortable and offer protection, but there’s still plenty of boardfeel. Probably my new favorite shoe.
Hi Jussi!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for our KSL III shoe. We're glad to hear that you're enjoying it and that it has quickly become your favorite. We just wanted to clarify that it is indeed a cupsole, not a vulc as some websites may have labeled it. We appreciate your feedback and hope you continue to love our shoe!
Happy skating!

They look great and are very comfortable. I'm usually a vulc person, but I wanted to try some cups to give my feet a break and these are doing a great job of that without being too stiff. I'd love a mid variation

Good show indeed, I like that you can splay your toes out all the way in these. My only problem was that the insoles made my foot sit too high and it caused heel slip, I put in other insoles though and it solved that issue.
