Product Information
Full details
The Etnies Marana trainers are designed for dedicated skateboarders and casual wearers who prioritize durability and impact protection in their footwear. A standout feature of this collaboration with Michelin is the high-performance rubber outsole that offers superior grip and longevity, though the robust construction means the shoes may require a short break-in period to achieve maximum flexibility.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, the Pro Foam 1 insoles provide sufficient cushioning and support for extended walking and daily use.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
Is the Michelin partnership just for branding?
No, the outsole is directly inspired by Michelin tire design, specifically engineered for superior grip and durability.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing for adults.
Are they waterproof?
They are not waterproof. Due to the suede construction, they are best suited for dry conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight around the bridge
Loosen the laces fully and re-tie them with slightly less tension to allow the padding to settle into your foot shape.
Loss of grip on the outsole
Wipe the bottom of the soles with a damp cloth to remove collected dust and debris, restoring the original traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK sizing as the padded collar and tongue offer a snug, secure feel. Since the upper is made of suede, it is recommended to avoid getting them excessively wet, as this can degrade the material over time. To clean, use a soft brush to remove dirt and dust, and apply a suede-specific cleaner if needed to maintain the nap of the material. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to preserve the foam midsoles.
