FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Etnies Barge LS typically follows standard UK sizing conventions for adult men. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick socks, some users recommend going up a half size.
Can I use these for professional skateboarding?
Yes, they are designed with skate-specific features like gum rubber soles for grip, although they are categorized as a lifestyle skate shoe.
How do I clean the white rubber trim?
A magic eraser or a cloth dipped in a mixture of baking soda and water works well for cleaning the rubber foxing tape around the shoe.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The canvas material is not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.
What is the secondary color on these shoes?
This specific model features brown accents which complement the primary black canvas, offering a refined aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Canvas becoming dusty or graying
Use a specialized black fabric restorer or gently brush with a slightly damp microfiber cloth.
Insoles feel thin after extended wear
Consider replacing the factory insoles with aftermarket cushioned inserts for increased arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Etnies Barge LS trainers stay in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the canvas surface. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; do not machine wash, as this can degrade the adhesive in the soles.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the canvas to stiffen or the rubber to warp.
- Protection: Apply a water-repellent spray designed for canvas materials to protect the black fabric from moisture and light stains.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the black fabric from fading over time.
