FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Etnies Scout trainers are designed for comfort and casual wear, offering good cushioning and traction. However, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running and may lack the specialized support and stability required for intense running activities.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or Etnies. Generally, UK sizing is standard, but it's always recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the brand's size guide. The listed UK size is 6.5.
Can the insoles be replaced with custom orthotics?
Yes, the Foam Lite 1 insole is typically removable, allowing space for custom orthotics if needed. Ensure your orthotics fit comfortably within the shoe.
What is the benefit of the elastic heel support?
The elastic heel support allows for a flexible fit and enables the shoe to be worn in a 'drop-top' manner, making it easier to slip on and off and offering a more relaxed feel.
How durable is the STI Evolution foam outsole?
STI Evolution foam is known for its durability and lightweight properties, designed to withstand regular wear while maintaining its cushioning and structural integrity for extended periods.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for general wear and offer some resistance to light moisture but should not be submerged in water.
What other colors are available?
While this guide focuses on the brown variant, the Etnies Scout series is often available in other colors such as Black, Black/Green, and Grey/Brown.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially, or consider stretching the shoes using appropriate methods. The lycra spandex interior should adapt over time with wear.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While rubber pods offer good grip, performance on very wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris for optimal traction. For extremely slick conditions, consider specialized footwear.
Discoloration of the brown material
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with a damp cloth as recommended. For significant discoloration, professional shoe cleaning services might offer solutions.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly with a soft brush, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the shoes 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 for separate cleaning or airing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
