FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy-duty sports?
These are lifestyle skate shoes, not high-performance athletic trainers, and are best suited for casual wear or skateboarding.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can weaken the adhesive in the vulcanized foxing tape and damage the shoe's structure.
How does the size fit?
The Etnies Barge LS generally fits true to size for UK adult standards.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from durable canvas.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the STI Comfort Level 1 insoles can typically be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too stiff when brand new.
Wear the shoes indoors for short periods to allow the canvas and the insole to mold to your foot shape.
Soles losing grip due to debris.
Wipe the bottom of the gum rubber soles with a damp cloth to clear out dust and dirt buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Etnies Barge LS trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the canvas. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry your trainers at room temperature. Never place them in a tumble dryer or directly on a heat source, as this can degrade the rubber and distort the shape.
- Fit: These trainers are standard UK sizing. If you prefer to wear thick skate socks, you may want to ensure you have accounted for that space when selecting your size.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the canvas color from fading over time.
