Troubleshooting
Shoe appears too tight or too loose.
Ensure the correct UK size (1.5) is being used. Consult the Etnies sizing chart for precise foot measurements. Adjust lacing for a more secure or relaxed fit.
Dirt or scuff marks are difficult to remove.
For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution with a damp cloth. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Consider using a specialized shoe cleaner designed for trainers.
Deodorizing the shoes.
Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then vacuum it out. Consider using deodorizing shoe inserts.
