FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The Etnies Scout trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. While they offer good cushioning and a lightweight feel, they may not provide the specialized support and durability required for marathon running.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the fully lined lycra spandex interior is designed for comfort and can be worn without socks. The material is breathable and helps manage moisture.
How do I clean mud or dirt from the trainers?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the affected areas and wipe clean. Allow to air dry naturally.
What does 'convertible drop-top access' mean?
This refers to the elastic heel support, which allows you to easily fold down the heel counter, converting the trainers into a slip-on shoe for convenience.
What is the primary material of the outsole?
The outsole is primarily made of STI Evolution foam, with strategically placed rubber pods for enhanced traction and durability.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the Etnies Scout trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials and are suitable for dry to moderately damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
The lycra interior may loosen slightly with wear. Try wearing them with thinner socks initially, or consult the care instructions for gentle stretching methods if necessary.
Traction feels reduced
Check the rubber pods on the outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the pods gently with a brush and water. If significantly worn, consider replacement.
Interior lining feels slippery
Ensure feet are dry before wearing. If the issue persists, a light dusting of talcum powder inside the shoe might help, but use sparingly.
