FAQs
Are the Etnies Scout trainers suitable for serious skateboarding?
The Etnies Scout trainers offer vulcanized construction and are described as skate-ready, making them suitable for casual skating and daily wear. For advanced or professional skateboarding, dedicated performance skate shoes might offer more specialized features.
How do I clean the blue and white suede material?
Gently brush away loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely and consider a suede protector spray.
What is the main benefit of the STI Foam Lite sockliner?
The STI Foam Lite sockliner provides lightweight cushioning and enhances overall comfort, especially beneficial during long periods of walking or standing.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the shoes offer some durability, the suede material is not inherently waterproof. It is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Using a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.
What does Etnies' environmental commitment mean for this product?
Etnies is committed to environmental initiatives, including planting trees with community support. This indicates a brand focus on sustainability that is reflected in their operations.
Are there other color options available for the Etnies Scout trainers?
Yes, the Etnies Scout series is available in various colorways, including Black/Green, Grey/Brown, and Lightgrey/Yellow, among others, as indicated by variant siblings.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct shoe size. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Suede material showing dirt or water marks
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, test a suede cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely after cleaning. Applying a suede protector spray can help prevent future marks.
Reduced cushioning over time
While the STI Foam Lite sockliner is designed for durability, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the sockliner if significant comfort loss is experienced.
