FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
The Etnies Scout Skate Shoe is primarily designed for casual wear and light skating. For professional skateboarding that involves high-impact tricks, shoes with more advanced support and durability features might be more appropriate.
How do I use the drop-top heel feature?
The elastic heel support allows you to push down the heel collar, converting the shoe into a slip-on or sandal-like style. This is achieved by simply folding the back of the shoe inward.
What material is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of durable rubber pods integrated with STI Evolution foam for a balance of grip, cushioning, and lightweight performance.
How should I clean the grey and brown exterior?
Spot clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing to preserve the material.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, the fully lined Lycra spandex interior is designed for comfort and can be worn with or without socks. However, wearing socks can help manage moisture and prevent odor.
What is the primary benefit of the Foam Lite 1 insole?
The Foam Lite 1 insole provides significant cushioning, enhancing comfort for extended periods of wear and reducing foot fatigue.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Wear the shoes with thinner socks initially. The Lycra lining will stretch slightly with wear. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct for your foot width.
Reduced traction over time
Clean the rubber pods on the outsole with water and a brush to remove accumulated dirt and debris that may be affecting grip.
Insole uncomfortable after extended use
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the weather and activity. For enhanced support, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for added cushioning.
