FAQs
What age group is this shoe designed for?
This shoe is designed for kids, specifically within the 'kids' age group, suitable for active play and skateboarding.
How durable is the toe cap?
The toe cap features a rubber print designed for enhanced durability, providing extra protection against abrasion common in skateboarding.
Is this shoe suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable for general wear due to its padding and insole, its design and durable features are optimized for skateboarding and active pursuits.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the Etnies sizing chart. Pay close attention to the UK sizing provided (e.g., 6C UK).
Can the insole be replaced?
The STI Comfort Level 1 insole provides cushioning. While not explicitly designed for removal, it may be possible to replace it with a custom orthotic if needed, though this could affect the shoe's intended fit and feel.
What makes the outsole durable?
The outsole is made from durable rubber with deep flex grooves designed for both longevity and flexibility, providing excellent grip for skateboarding.
Troubleshooting
Laces keep coming undone.
Ensure laces are tied securely. Utilize the hidden lace loops to tuck and secure the ends of the laces, preventing them from loosening.
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Verify the correct size has been selected. The padded collar and tongue may require a short break-in period. Loosen the laces slightly and re-tighten to find a comfortable fit.
Tread is losing grip.
Clean the outsole with water to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be affecting traction. The deep flex grooves are designed for grip, but they can become clogged.
