FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
The Etnies Scout X TFTF are designed for comfort and light skate use. For professional-level skateboarding with high impact and frequent tricks, dedicated performance skate shoes with enhanced durability and board feel might be more appropriate.
How do I use the drop-top heel feature?
The elastic heel support allows you to fold the heel section down. This transforms the shoe into an easy slip-on style, ideal for quick wear without needing to tie laces.
What is the primary benefit of the STI Evolution foam outsole?
The STI Evolution foam outsole provides lightweight cushioning, shock absorption, and durability, contributing to the overall comfort of the shoe during extended wear.
Can these shoes be worn without socks?
Yes, the fully lined lycra spandex interior is designed to be comfortable against the skin, allowing for sockless wear. However, wearing socks can further enhance comfort and hygiene.
How should I clean the 'Bone' colored upper?
For the 'Bone' color, use a soft brush or a lightly dampened cloth to gently remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For tougher stains, a very mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth, and then air drying.
What makes the rubber pods on the outsole beneficial?
The rubber pods are strategically placed to enhance traction and grip on various surfaces, providing a more secure footing whether you are walking or performing light skate maneuvers.
What is the recommended use for the Scout X TFTF model?
This model is best suited for casual wear, everyday activities, travel, and light skateboarding due to its emphasis on comfort and versatility.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, wear with thinner socks or allow more time for the materials to break in. The convertible heel can also offer a looser fit when folded down.
Reduced traction on outsole
Clean the rubber pods on the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that may be hindering grip.
Interior feels uncomfortable or rough
Ensure the lycra lining is lying flat. If the issue persists, try wearing the shoes with socks. If there is a defect, contact customer support.
Shoe losing shape
Avoid prolonged exposure to heat. Use shoe trees or stuff with paper when not in use to help maintain their form.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the upper material. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Insole: The STI Comfort Level 1 insole can be removed for spot cleaning with a damp cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Wipe the rubber pods and outsole with a damp cloth to remove debris. Ensure the pods remain free of excessive dirt to maintain traction.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
