FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Etnies Marana trainers are designed with a standard fit. While they offer good support, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on or checking customer reviews regarding fit for wider feet is recommended.
What is the primary purpose of the Marana trainers?
The Marana trainers are primarily designed for skateboarding, offering enhanced durability, grip, and impact protection. They are also suitable for general active wear and casual use.
How does Etnies contribute to sustainability?
Etnies is committed to environmental initiatives and has planted over 2.3 million trees. Purchasing their products supports these ongoing efforts.
What does 'Skateboarder owned since 1986' mean for the product?
This signifies that the brand's roots and expertise are deeply embedded in skateboarding culture, meaning the products are designed with authentic needs and performance requirements of skateboarders in mind.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the materials are durable, they are not waterproof. They can withstand light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water is not recommended and may affect performance and longevity.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers for skateboarding?
The Marana series is known for its exceptional durability, often outlasting other skate shoes. However, the exact lifespan depends heavily on the intensity and frequency of skateboarding, as well as individual skating style.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Soles showing signs of excessive wear quickly
Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (skateboarding and active wear). For skateboarding, specific techniques can reduce sole abrasion. Regular cleaning can also help maintain the sole's integrity.
Material scuffing or tearing
Given the durability focus, some scuffing is expected with heavy use, especially in skateboarding. For significant tears, check warranty information or consider professional shoe repair if outside of warranty.
