The Barge LS features a slim-style design, which can be quite snug; those with wider feet may find it beneficial to try a half-size up.
Yes, the vulcanized construction and reinforced suede upper are specifically designed for the demands of skateboarding.
Use a suede brush for dirt and a dedicated suede eraser or cleaner for localized stains. Avoid submerging them in water.
Vulcanized soles are thinner and more flexible than cupsole shoes, providing better 'board feel' and grip.
The Barge LS is a minimalist skate shoe, so it prioritizes board feel over heavy arch support.
The suede and canvas will naturally stretch and conform to your foot shape after a few days of consistent wear.
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material by brushing in one direction.
The Foam Lite 1 insole is removable; consider replacing it with an aftermarket orthotic if you require extra arch support.
To ensure your Etnies Barge LS lasts, proper maintenance is key. Since these trainers feature suede panels, avoid machine washing them, as water and heat can damage the material. Instead, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a very lightly dampened cloth, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. Because of the slim fit, consider breaking them in with thinner socks if you find the initial fit to be snug. The shoes feature a standard lace-up system that allows you to adjust the tension across the mid-foot to match your preference for tightness or flexibility.
