FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
The Locut Vulc is designed for skating, though it is best suited for street skating where board feel is more critical than heavy-impact cushioning.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing will damage the suede material and compromise the bond of the vulcanized sole.
How do I maintain the gold accent color?
Keep the shoes clean and dry. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may discolor or bleed into the navy suede.
Are these trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adults.
Is the sole non-slip?
The rubber outsole provides excellent grip on skateboards and standard surfaces, but exercise caution on wet or oily terrain.
Troubleshooting
Stiff sole when first wearing
The vulcanized rubber is designed to be flexible. Gently bend the sole at the arch area by hand to help break it in.
Surface dirt on suede
Use a dry, clean suede brush or a soft-bristled eraser to gently lift dirt away from the nap of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Etnies Locut Vulc trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: These shoes have a relatively quick break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors for the first few days to allow the suede to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the suede texture.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the navy and gold dyes from fading.
- Sizing: These shoes fit standard UK adult sizing. If you prefer to wear thicker socks for skating, consider this when selecting your fit.
