FAQs

Is the Etnies Barge LS suitable for heavy skating?

Yes, it is designed for skating, though it is a slim-fit model, so it is best for those who prioritize board feel over high-impact protection.

How should I clean the suede upper?

Use a dry suede brush or a suede-specific eraser to clean the surface. Avoid liquid soaps and water.

Does this shoe provide good arch support?

The Barge LS uses Comfort Level 1 insoles, which provide standard support; however, they are not specialized orthopedic insoles.

Are these shoes true to size?

They generally fit true to size for UK measurements, but the slim profile means they will feel more snug than standard running trainers.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing will damage the suede material and weaken the vulcanized glue construction.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

Suede will naturally stretch slightly with wear. Wear them indoors for short periods to break in the material before extended use.

Dirt buildup on suede

Allow dirt to dry completely and then use a soft-bristled brush to gently lift and remove debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Slim, low-profile silhouette ideal for casual and skate wear
  • Reinforced one-piece toe design increases lifespan
  • Vulcanized construction offers excellent grip and board feel
  • Stylish black and gold aesthetic
  • Armored collar adds necessary ankle stability

Cons

  • Minimalist padding may be less comfortable for all-day walking
  • Suede material requires specific care to maintain appearance
  • Less shock absorption compared to technical skate shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers feature suede uppers, proper maintenance is essential to ensure longevity. Avoid getting the shoes excessively wet, as water can stiffen and degrade suede. Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt after use. If stains occur, use a mild suede cleaner rather than machine washing, which can compromise the vulcanized bonding. Ensure you are ordering the correct UK size, as the slim fit of the Barge LS is designed to be snug; if you prefer a looser fit or use aftermarket orthotics, you may consider sizing up.
