Product Information
Full details
The Etnies Locut Vulc is a streamlined, skate-focused trainer designed for individuals who prioritize board sensitivity and a lightweight feel. While it offers excellent durability features like a reinforced toe cap, users should note that the vulcanized construction prioritizes flexibility over heavy-duty impact cushioning, making it ideal for casual riding and daily wear rather than high-impact technical skating.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Etnies Locut Vulc typically fits true to standard adult sizing, though the internal elastic straps make for a snug, secure fit.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the vulcanized construction and adhesives.
What is the benefit of the vulcanized sole?
Vulcanized soles are thinner and more flexible than cupsoles, which provides better board feel and a lighter weight.
Are they suitable for wider feet?
The slim design and internal tongue straps mean they have a streamlined profile, so those with very wide feet may find them snug.
What should I do if the grip starts wearing down?
General wear on the tread is expected with use. Once the pattern smooths out significantly, traction will decrease, indicating it is time to replace the pair.
Troubleshooting
Tongue sliding to the side
The Locut Vulc includes built-in elastic tongue straps to prevent this. Ensure your laces are threaded through the tongue loops if applicable, or check that the elastic isn't stretched.
Sole separation from the upper
This is common in heavily used skate shoes. If minor, use a specialized shoe glue like Shoe Goo to re-bond the rubber to the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Locut Vulc trainers last, keep the following in mind:
- Fit: The shoes feature elastic tongue straps; ensure your laces are tightened adequately to lock your foot in place.
- Cleaning: Spot clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the internal adhesive.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Never place them in a clothes dryer, as the heat can melt the vulcanized rubber and warp the shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the materials from drying out or developing odor.
