Product Information
Full details
The Etnies Marana Michelin is a high-performance trainer engineered for skateboarders and active adults who prioritize extreme durability and board control. Designed in California, this shoe features a reinforced tread pattern inspired by high-performance car tires, providing exceptional grip and longevity. While the shoe offers superior impact protection and robust construction, new users may find the stiff suede upper requires a short break-in period to achieve maximum flexibility.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing, though the internal padding creates a snug, supportive fit.
Can these be washed in a machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede and the bonding agents in the sole. Always clean by hand.
What is the benefit of the Michelin collaboration?
The partnership integrates actual automotive tire technology into the rubber outsole for unmatched durability and grip.
Are these suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the combination of the Sti Evolution Foam Midsole and Pro Foam 1 insole provides significant support for all-day comfort.
Does the shoe come with extra laces?
Package contents vary by specific retailer, but the shoes come factory-laced with durable, skate-ready laces.
Troubleshooting
Suede upper appears discolored or stained
Use a dry suede eraser or a soft brush to lift dirt from the nap of the material.
Shoes feel too tight during the first few wears
Loosen the laces throughout the eyelets and wear thinner socks until the foam footbed conforms to your foot.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Use a damp cloth to wipe dust and debris from the Michelin rubber tread to restore maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Etnies Marana sneakers, keep them clean by gently brushing off loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush after each session. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede cleaner and avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the suede material. To break them in, wear them for shorter sessions initially to allow the foam insole and upper material to contour to the unique shape of your foot. Ensure you match the UK sizing accurately, as the padded interior creates a snug, secure fit.
