FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Etnies Scout Trainers are designed for durability and casual wear. While they offer adequate support for walking, they are not optimized for high-impact running activities and lack the specialized cushioning and support found in dedicated running shoes.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct UK size?
Refer to the product's sizing chart, which is usually available online, and measure your foot length from heel to toe. Compare this measurement to the chart to find the corresponding UK size. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fits can vary.
What does 'Skateboarder owned since 1986' mean for the product?
This means the brand's origins and ethos are deeply rooted in skateboarding culture. This heritage influences the design philosophy, prioritizing durability, functionality, and a style that resonates within the skateboarding community and beyond.
How does Etnies contribute to sustainability?
Etnies actively contributes to environmental sustainability through initiatives like planting trees. For every purchase supported by their community, they have planted over 2.3 million trees, demonstrating a commitment to making a positive environmental impact.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While designed for durability, the Etnies Scout Trainers are not waterproof. They can handle light moisture or wet surfaces, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or deep puddles is not recommended and may affect the materials and comfort.
What is the primary material used in these trainers?
The product information indicates suede as a material for some variants (e.g., Lightgrey/Yellow). The Grey/Brown variant is constructed with durable materials suitable for varied environments, often including a combination of suede, textile, and rubber components typical for trainers.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with durable footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in and conform to your foot.
Laces becoming worn or dirty.
Replace worn laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length. Dirty laces can often be cleaned with mild soap and water or by machine washing in a garment bag on a gentle cycle.
Slight discoloration on suede areas.
For suede, use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For minor marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid water unless specifically treating a stain with appropriate suede cleaner.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They are suitable for everyday wear, skateboarding, and general outdoor activities.
Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your Etnies Scout Trainers:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be applied with a soft brush, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
