Etnies Kids Marana Trainers - Black - 10 UK

The Etnies Marana trainers tend to have a standard to slightly narrow fit. If your child has particularly wide feet, they might be more comfortable in a different model or by trying a size up, though this may affect the fit elsewhere.

The rubber printed toe cap is designed to be highly durable and resistant to abrasion, significantly outlasting standard canvas or synthetic toe areas, especially during skateboarding.

Yes, they are durable enough for everyday wear and offer good support. However, their design is performance-oriented, so consider if the level of grip and padding is necessary for typical school activities.

The main benefit is superior grip and traction, which is essential for skateboarding and provides stability during various physical activities. It's also designed for enhanced durability.

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

STI refers to 'Standard Industrial Footwear', and Comfort Level 1 indicates the basic level of cushioning and impact protection provided by the insole, suitable for general wear and light sports.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. For a slightly tighter initial fit, wear with thinner socks or try loosening the laces considerably before putting them on and then re-lacing them snugly.

Check that the hidden lace loops are being used correctly to keep laces secure. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with a more durable pair.

Ensure the tyre tread outsole is clean and free of excessive mud or debris. The specialized grip is designed for skateboarding and may perform differently on very smooth or wet surfaces.

While the rubber toe cap offers protection, aggressive use can still cause scuffs. Embrace the wear and tear as a sign of a well-used skate shoe, or consider applying a protective spray designed for footwear if appearance is a high priority.
