FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear, not just skating?
Yes, the Etnies Marana Skate Shoes are designed with comfort and durability in mind, making them suitable for everyday wear for active children.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing provided (UK 2 in this case). It's recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the brand's sizing chart if available, or ensure there is a little room for growth without being too loose.
Can these shoes be washed in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
What is the benefit of the rubber printed toe cap?
The rubber printed toe cap significantly increases the shoe's durability and resistance to abrasion, especially in areas prone to wear from skateboarding tricks like flicking the board.
How does the tyre tread outsole help?
The tyre-inspired tread offers enhanced grip and traction, which is crucial for stability and control when riding a skateboard or performing other activities.
What does 'STI Comfort Level 1 insole' mean?
STI stands for 'Sammy Typical Insole,' a proprietary cushioning technology from Etnies. Level 1 indicates a standard level of cushioning designed for comfort and support during skateboarding and general use.
Are there other colors available in this model and size?
The Etnies Marana series comes in various colors. While this specific listing is for the Black - 2 UK, other colors like Grey/White, Yellow, Blue/Red, and Royal/White may be available in different size or model variations.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. For initial stiffness, wear the shoes around the house for a short period to break them in. The laces can be adjusted for a more personalized fit.
Grip seems reduced
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting traction. Ensure the shoes are dry before use.
Laces fraying quickly
Consider using replacement laces designed for skate shoes, which are often more durable. Utilize the hidden lace loops to protect laces from excessive friction.
