Product Information

Full details

The Etnies Kingpin Skate Shoes are designed for adult males seeking a durable and stylish skate shoe that has proven its longevity in the market. Its key benefit is its long-standing popularity and reliable performance, offering a comfortable fit with a classic aesthetic. A potential consideration is that this is a well-established model, so while reliable, it may not feature the very latest in skate shoe technology. Key features include a suede upper, padded tongue and collar for comfort, an internal EVA midsole for support, and a stitched rubber outsole for durability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear the shoes with medium-thickness socks for a few hours to allow them to stretch slightly. If they remain too tight, consider if a larger size is needed or if the lacing can be adjusted to provide more volume.

Suede looks worn or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the material. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product instructions. Protectants can help prevent future stains.

Outsole losing grip

Clean the outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove any dirt or debris that may be hindering traction. Ensure the rubber has not become overly worn down from extensive use.

  • Comfortable fit due to padded tongue and collar.
  • Reliable grip and traction from the rubber outsole.
  • Classic and timeless skate shoe aesthetic.
  • Long-standing presence in the market indicates sustained popularity and quality.

Cons

  • May not incorporate the newest technological advancements found in newer skate shoe models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Etnies Kingpin Skate Shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. There is no specific setup required.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for skateboarding and general casual wear. They are compatible with most skateboarding equipment.

Care:

  • Cleaning Suede: For the suede upper, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth, being careful not to saturate the material. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
  • Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with water and a mild soap if necessary. Ensure no debris is stuck in the tread.
  • Lining: If the interior becomes soiled, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the shoe's structure and materials.
