Full details
These Etnies Scout trainers in Grey/Brown are designed for adult males seeking comfort and performance for everyday wear or light athletic activities.

FAQs
What type of activities are these trainers best suited for?
The Etnies Scout trainers are ideal for casual everyday wear, walking, commuting, and light recreational activities. They are not designed for intense athletic training.
How do I convert the heel to a drop-top style?
The elastic heel support allows you to push the heel down with your foot to convert the trainer into a slip-on or slide style. The material is designed to withstand this conversion.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are made from materials like polyester and lycra, which can absorb water. They are best suited for dry conditions.
What is the primary material of the shoe?
The description mentions a polyester material for the upper and a fully lined lycra spandex interior for comfort.
Can I wear these with orthotic insoles?
The trainers feature a Foam Lite 1 insole, which may offer some cushioning. If you need to use custom orthotics, you might be able to remove the existing insole to accommodate them, depending on the thickness of your orthotics.
What is the main difference between the Scout and other Etnies models?
The Scout series typically emphasizes lightweight comfort and a relaxed fit, often featuring the Foam Lite insole and STI Evolution foam outsole, making them distinct from more performance-oriented or skate-specific models.
How should I clean the STI Evolution foam outsole?
The outsole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it is dry before wearing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly snug, wear with thin socks for a short period to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. The lycra lining may offer some stretch.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the rubber pods on the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
Odour development
Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out completely. Use a shoe deodoriser or baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Regular cleaning and airing can help prevent this.
Heel collapses unintentionally
Ensure the heel area is positioned correctly. The elastic support is designed for intentional conversion; if it feels loose, the material may have stretched over time.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the exterior. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Insoles: If removable, the insoles can be taken out and hand-washed with mild soap and cold water. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
