Product Information
Full details
The Etnies Barge LS is a versatile low-profile trainer designed for adult men who prioritize board feel, durability, and a clean aesthetic. Featuring a slim vulcanized construction and a specialized comfort insole, these shoes provide reliable performance for both casual daily wear and active skate sessions. While the shoe offers excellent grip and board control, the minimalist design provides less impact protection compared to heavily cushioned technical skate footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Etnies Barge LS typically fits true to standard UK sizing for adult men.
Are these suitable for high-impact skating?
These are primarily designed for board feel and flexibility. For high-impact sessions, you may prefer a model with more substantial heel cushioning.
How do I keep the black fabric clean?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the surface. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners.
Can the insoles be removed?
The STI Comfort Level 1 insoles are designed for comfort and can typically be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Is the Barge LS waterproof?
No, these are standard canvas or suede-style trainers and are not designed to be waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Sole separation from the upper
Small areas can be repaired with high-quality shoe-specific contact cement, ensuring the surface is clean and dry before application.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the bottom of the shoe with a damp cloth or a wire brush to remove embedded dust and debris that may cause slipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Etnies Barge LS in top condition, ensure you select the correct UK size for a snug, secure fit, as the slim silhouette is designed to hug the foot. Regularly inspect the foxing tape for any signs of separation during heavy skate use. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and spot clean with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth; avoid machine washing to maintain the integrity of the vulcanized adhesive. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping or stiffening.
