Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Allow for a break-in period of a few skate sessions. Wear them with thin socks initially and gradually switch to thicker ones if needed.
Reduced traction over time
Clean the rubber pods on the outsole with water and a brush to remove accumulated dirt and restore grip.
Interior lining feels rough
Ensure socks are worn to prevent direct skin contact. If the issue persists, check for any internal stitching imperfections and contact customer support if necessary.
Heel support feels loose when worn as slip-on
The drop-top feature is designed for convenience; for performance skating, ensure the heel is fully upright and secured for maximum support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Etnies Scout X TFTF Skate Shoe requires no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred tightness. The drop-top heel feature can be utilized by folding the heel counter down, transforming them into a slip-on style.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for skateboarding and general athletic use. They are compatible with most skateboards and are suitable for men with UK size 7.5 feet.
Care: To maintain the shoe's condition:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent material degradation.
