Product Information
Full details
The Etnies Kingpin is an ideal choice for skateboarders and daily commuters who value a balance between board feel and structural durability. Featuring a robust suede upper and a classic aesthetic, these trainers offer reliable performance for active wear; however, users should note that the cushioned insole design is tailored specifically for skate-oriented support rather than high-mileage running.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Etnies Kingpin generally fits true to standard UK sizing for adults.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can cause the suede to harden and the glue to loosen. Always clean by hand.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from durable suede, paired with a resilient rubber sole.
Is this shoe suitable for heavy impact skating?
The cushioned insole provides impact protection, though it is best suited for street skating and daily cruising.
Does the black colour fade easily?
Like all dark suede, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight may lead to fading. Using a suede protector can help maintain the colour depth.
Troubleshooting
Stiff feel upon first wear
The suede and insole will soften with natural wear; try walking in them for short periods at home to accelerate the break-in process.
Surface dirt accumulation
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently buff away debris. Do not use soap or water directly on the suede material.
Pros and Cons

- Excellent grip provided by the rubber outsole

- Versatile design suitable for various casual environments
Cons

- Available in limited material options compared to synthetic counterparts
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Etnies Kingpin trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: The suede may feel stiff initially; wear them for short durations to allow the material to contour to your feet.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture and weaken the adhesive bonds.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the black suede from fading.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically formulated for suede to add a layer of water and stain resistance.
