Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Etnies Locut Vulc trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them around the house for a few hours before heading to the skatepark to allow the vulcanized rubber to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the upper. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water to maintain the integrity of the vulcanized bonding.
- Lacing: Use the elastic tongue straps to ensure the tongue does not slide to the side, which helps in maintaining a balanced fit across the bridge of your foot.
- Storage: Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can weaken the vulcanization adhesive.
