Product Information
Full details
The Etnies Locut 2K is a heritage-inspired low-top trainer designed for adult male skateboarders and casual users who need a blend of classic style and modern functional performance. It offers excellent impact protection and durability through its cupsole construction and suede build, though its supportive padding may feel slightly bulky for those accustomed to minimal, thin-soled shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Etnies Locut 2K generally fits standard UK sizes. If you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider a half-size increase.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and weaken the adhesive used in the cupsole construction.
What does 400 NBS rubber mean?
400 NBS is a specific rubber density rating used by Etnies that offers a high balance of abrasion resistance and traction.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
While the rubber outsole provides good grip, the suede upper is absorbent and can be damaged by water, so they are best suited for dry conditions.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the STI Foam Lite Level 1 footbed is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Ensure the elastic tongue straps are positioned correctly to prevent tongue slip, which often causes laces to loosen.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to gently brush the nap in one direction to restore the original texture.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
Remove the STI Foam Lite footbed after heavy use and allow the shoes to air dry in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Etnies Locut 2K trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines. Since the upper is made of suede, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. If the shoes become dusty or muddy, allow the dirt to dry completely, then use a specialized suede brush to remove debris gently. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a clean, dry cloth. To maintain the structural integrity, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To ensure the best fit, utilize the provided elastic tongue straps to tighten the midfoot lockdown, adjusting the laces to your preference without overtightening.
