Can I wear these for skateboarding?
The cupsole construction offers some support and durability suitable for light skateboarding. However, they are primarily designed as casual trainers.

How should I store my Etnies Dory shoes when not in use?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
The Etnies Dory is built on a narrow last. If they feel too tight, try wearing them with thinner socks or consider if a wider-fit shoe would be more appropriate. Leather can stretch slightly over time with wear.
Leather shows scuffs or marks
Minor scuffs on leather can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For more significant marks, a leather cleaner or a color-matched shoe polish may be used, followed by conditioning.
Insole feels flat after extended wear
The Foam Lite 1 insole provides initial cushioning. If significant compression occurs, consider replacing the insole with a new one for renewed comfort. Replacement insoles are readily available.
