FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking?
Yes, their lightweight construction and cushioned polyurethane footbed make them quite comfortable for general daily use and walking.
Do I need to buy a special size for Etnies?
Etnies generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, consider your personal preference for a tighter performance fit or a slightly roomier casual fit.
Can I replace the insole?
The insole is designed for the shoe, but it can be removed if you need to insert specialized custom orthotics.
What does the HIT Shield do?
HIT Shield is a hidden reinforced layer under the toe cap that provides extra resistance against abrasion during skating.
Are these trainers machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the vulcanized bond and the structural integrity of the upper.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slides to the side during skating
Ensure your laces pass through the elastic tongue straps to lock the tongue in place.
Shoes feel too tight initially
Loosen the laces significantly before putting them on, as the vulcanized construction needs time to expand and break in.
Outsole losing grip
Clean the bottom of the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a piece of grip tape to remove collected dust and debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Etnies Locut Vulc trainers last, keep these maintenance tips in mind:
- Break-in: Wear them for short sessions initially to let the material soften and mold to your specific foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For stubborn mud, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid soaking the shoes as this can degrade the glue holding the vulcanized sole.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent rubber yellowing and material fading.
- Lacing: Use the elastic tongue straps as intended; avoid overtightening your laces to maintain comfortable blood flow while skating.
