FAQs
What is the primary intended use for these shoes?
The Etnies Dory Skate Shoe is designed for everyday casual wear, offering comfort and a skate-inspired style. They are also suitable for light skateboarding activities.
How do I clean the leather parts of the shoe?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used, followed by conditioning.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
These shoes are built on a narrow last, which means they might feel snug on wider feet. They are best suited for individuals with average to narrow foot shapes.
Can the insole be removed?
Yes, the Foam Lite 1 insole is typically removable, allowing for easier cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics if needed.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper of this particular Etnies Dory Skate Shoe model is made of leather, contributing to its durability and aesthetic appeal.
What does 'cupsole construction' mean?
Cupsole construction refers to a method where the sole is molded into a cup shape and then stitched or cemented to the upper. This generally provides better durability and cushioning compared to vulcanized soles.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Due to the narrow last, try wearing thinner socks or allow a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, these may not be the best fit for your foot shape.
Leather appears dry or scuffed.
Apply a leather conditioner or a suitable shoe polish to restore moisture and cover minor scuffs. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. If the slipperiness is due to wear, consider replacement of the sole by a professional cobbler for extended use.
