Product Information

Full details

The Etnies Barge LS is designed for skaters and casual wearers who prioritize board feel and all-day comfort. Featuring a deconstructed design and a vulcanized sole, this shoe excels at providing a flexible, responsive ride for technical tricks; however, its slim profile may offer less impact protection than thicker, heavily padded alternatives.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?

Yes, the inclusion of the Foam Lite 1 insole makes them comfortable enough for all-day wear, not just for skating.

How does the Barge LS fit?

The Barge LS has a slim-style design. If you have wider feet, you may consider sizing up for more comfort.

Can I skate these right out of the box?

Yes, the vulcanized sole is flexible immediately, requiring very little break-in time.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made from durable suede, featuring canvas mid-panelling for breathability.

How do I maintain the color of the suede?

Keep them away from excessive moisture and direct sunlight, and use a suede protector spray to guard against stains.

Is this shoe good for heavy impact skating?

While the Barge LS provides great board feel, skaters looking for high-impact protection should look at thicker cupsole models.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to restore the nap of the material.

Laces fraying quickly

Apply a small amount of superglue or use professional lace covers to prevent friction from the grip tape.

Accumulation of grip tape residue

Use a rubber crepe brush or a dedicated grip tape eraser to gently lift the debris from the suede surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your Etnies Barge LS, avoid machine washing, which can weaken the vulcanized bonding. If the suede gets dirty, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dust and debris. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a very lightly dampened cloth, ensuring the material is dried away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking. These shoes are compatible with standard skate insoles if you choose to swap them, though the included Foam Lite 1 insole is optimized for the shoe's internal volume. For the best fit, ensure you wear them with skate-appropriate socks that provide a balance of padding and breathability.
