FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Foam Lite 1 insole?
The Foam Lite 1 insole provides enhanced cushioning and impact absorption, contributing to overall comfort during wear.
Are these shoes suitable for advanced skateboarding?
The Etnies Dory Skate Shoe is designed for casual wear and light skateboarding. For advanced or high-impact skateboarding, shoes with more robust construction and specialized features might be more appropriate.
How should I clean the leather lace detailing?
Gently wipe the leather detailing with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the area. A leather conditioner can help maintain its condition.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to put these shoes in a washing machine, especially due to the leather detailing and cupsole construction. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.
What does 'built on a narrow last' mean?
It means the shoe is constructed around a form (last) that is narrower than average. This typically results in a snugger fit, which can be beneficial for stability but may not be ideal for individuals with wider feet.
What other sizes or colors are available?
The Etnies Dory shoe is available in various sizes and colorways. Please check the product listings for specific availability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or narrow
Try wearing them with thinner socks. If the shoes are significantly too narrow, they may not be the best fit for your foot type. Consider breaking them in gradually with short wear periods.
Insole feels stiff initially
The Foam Lite 1 insole may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for a few hours each day to allow the insole to conform to your foot's shape.
Laces fraying or worn
Replace laces with a standard pair of skate shoe laces. Ensure they are the appropriate length for the shoe's eyelets.
