FAQs
What makes the Etnies Scout X TFTF suitable for skateboarding?
The shoe features an STI Evolution foam outsole for shock absorption, rubber pods on the outsole for enhanced grip on the skateboard deck, and a snug interior lining for a secure fit during tricks.
How does the convertible heel work?
An elastic heel support allows the back of the shoe to be folded down, transforming the trainer into an easy slip-on shoe. Alternatively, it can be worn in the traditional manner for a more secure fit.
What is the primary benefit of the STI Comfort Level 1 insole?
The STI Comfort Level 1 insole is designed to provide superior cushioning and support, enhancing comfort during extended wear.
Can I wear these shoes for activities other than skateboarding?
Yes, the comfort and cushioning make them suitable for general casual wear and various light activities.
How should I clean the beige colorway?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to clean the exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the material. Allow to air dry.
What is the material of the interior lining?
The interior is fully lined with Lycra spandex, designed to provide a comfortable, snug, and sock-like fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing if applicable. The lycra spandex interior provides a snug fit, but ensure the laces are not overly tightened or loosened. The convertible heel can also offer a slightly different fit when folded down.
Reduced grip on the outsole.
Clean the rubber pods on the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be hindering traction.
Discomfort during long wear.
Ensure the shoe is the correct size. The STI Comfort Level 1 insole is designed for comfort; if discomfort persists, check that the insole is properly seated and consider if the convertible heel design is suitable for your preferred wear style.

Care: To maintain the shoes:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Insole Care: The STI Comfort Level 1 insole can be removed for separate cleaning if needed. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before reinserting.
