FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
The Etnies Scout Skate Shoe offers good traction and cushioning, making them suitable for casual skateboarding and park riding. For highly technical or professional skateboarding that requires maximum impact protection and board feel, other specialized skate shoes might be more appropriate.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, the fully lined Lycra spandex interior is designed for comfort and can be worn without socks. However, wearing socks is generally recommended for hygiene and to prevent potential friction.
How do I convert them to a drop-top access style?
The elastic heel support allows you to comfortably fold the heel down, converting the shoe into a slip-on style. Simply push the heel counter inwards.
What is STI Evolution foam?
STI Evolution foam is a proprietary cushioning technology by Etnies that provides superior shock absorption, is lightweight, and offers enhanced durability compared to traditional EVA foam.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
What does 'Dark Vintage WASH' refer to?
This refers to the aesthetic treatment of the shoe's material, giving it a worn-in, vintage look through a washing process.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the issue persists, the shoe's internal lining or specific fit may not be ideal for your foot shape. Consider trying on different Etnies models or brands.
Reduced traction on surfaces
Clean the rubber pods on the outsole with a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be hindering grip.
Interior lining feels abrasive
Wear the shoes with appropriate socks. The Lycra lining is designed for a snug fit; if it feels uncomfortable, it may be best to try a different shoe model.
