Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size by referring to the Etnies sizing chart. Consider using thicker or thinner socks to adjust fit. For initial stiffness, wear them for short periods to break them in.
Reduced grip on the skateboard.
Check the outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If the rubber is significantly worn, replacement may be necessary.
Discomfort after extended wear.
Verify the correct size and ensure laces are not tied too tightly. The EVA insole provides cushioning, but if persistent discomfort occurs, consider aftermarket insoles designed for added support.
Leather or suede material appears scuffed or dirty.
Follow the specific care instructions for leather or suede. For leather, use a damp cloth and leather conditioner. For suede, use a suede brush and appropriate cleaner.
