FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
The Etnies Scout Skate Shoe is designed with skateboarding in mind and offers durability and performance features suitable for many skaters. However, professional skateboarding often requires specialized footwear tailored to specific demands and preferences.
How does Etnies contribute to sustainability?
Etnies is committed to environmental responsibility and has planted over 2.3 million trees with the support of its community, aiming to make a positive environmental impact.
What does 'Skateboarder owned since 1986' mean for the product?
This signifies that the brand's foundation and decision-making are deeply rooted in skateboarding culture, ensuring that products are developed with an authentic understanding of the sport's needs and aesthetics.
How do I know if UK size 9 is the right fit?
UK size 9 is a standard men's fit. For the best assurance, measure your foot length and compare it to Etnies' sizing chart or try them on in person if possible. The Etnies Scout Skate Shoe in Brown is specifically this size.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
While the shoes are durable, they are not waterproof. They can handle light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or water may affect the materials and comfort. Allow them to air dry thoroughly if they get wet.
What is the warranty on Etnies shoes?
Etnies typically offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Specific warranty periods and terms can vary, so it is best to check the official Etnies website or the product packaging for details or contact customer support.
Where are these shoes designed?
The Etnies Scout Skate Shoe is designed in Lake Forest, California, ensuring a focus on quality and innovation.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. Break them in gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. If persistent discomfort, consider if the fit is suitable for your foot shape.
Sole appears to be separating from the upper.
For minor separation, a strong adhesive designed for footwear or shoe repair kits may help. If the separation is significant or occurs shortly after purchase, contact customer support as it may indicate a manufacturing defect.
Excessive wear on specific areas of the shoe.
This is often normal for skateboarding. For extended life, consider using skate wax on the edges or learning techniques that reduce friction on key areas. For general wear, ensure proper fit and avoid activities that cause undue stress.
Discoloration or staining on the brown upper.
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, consult specific shoe cleaning guides for suede or synthetic materials. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your Etnies Scout Skate Shoes:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the upper and sole. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
