Product Information
Full details
The Etnies Barge LS is designed for adult male skateboarders and casual wearers who value a slim, understated aesthetic without sacrificing durability. Its primary benefit is the combination of a reinforced vulcanized construction for board feel and long-lasting wear, though users should note that the slim fit may feel restrictive for those with exceptionally wide feet.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Barge LS features a slim silhouette, which may feel tight if you have wider feet. It is recommended to size up by half a size if you prefer more room.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the STI Comfort Level 1 insole can be removed if you prefer to use your own custom orthotic inserts.
Are these shoes vegan?
Etnies uses a mix of materials for the Barge LS series; please check the specific material tag on your pair to confirm if they contain leather or suede.
How should I clean the white foxing tape?
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to scrub the rubber tape, which helps restore the white appearance.
Are these good for walking long distances?
They offer standard comfort for casual wear, but they are primarily designed for skateboarding and lack the high-level arch support found in specialized walking or running sneakers.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during the first few wears
The canvas and suede materials require a short break-in period to stretch and mold to your foot shape; wear them for shorter sessions initially.
Laces coming undone frequently
Consider using a double knot or replacing the stock laces with high-friction waxed laces if you require a more secure fit for skating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Barge LS shoes last, keep them dry and avoid submerging them in water, which can degrade the vulcanized rubber. If the shoes get dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth, allowing them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. Because these feature a slim silhouette, they are best paired with slim or straight-cut trousers to complement the overall profile of the shoe.
