FAQs
Are the Etnies Dory suitable for professional skateboarding?
The Etnies Dory is designed with a sleek cupsole and Foam Lite 1 insole, making it excellent for casual wear and light skateboarding. For high-impact or professional skateboarding, shoes with more advanced cushioning and impact protection might be more suitable.
How should I clean the leather parts of the shoe?
Wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For dirtier areas, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What does 'built on a narrow last' mean?
A narrow last refers to the shoe's mold, resulting in a slimmer fit, particularly through the midfoot and heel. This can provide a more secure feel for some wearers.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
While the shoes are durable, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to wet conditions may damage the leather and affect comfort. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles.
What is the primary benefit of the Foam Lite 1 insole?
The Foam Lite 1 insole is designed to provide lightweight cushioning and comfort, making the shoes suitable for extended wear throughout the day.
Are there other color options available for the Etnies Dory?
The Etnies Dory model is available in various colorways, including Black/Silver and other combinations, depending on the specific product release and retailer.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them for short periods initially, or consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness is significant. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a durable pair suitable for skate shoes. Consider waxing laces for increased longevity.
Sole shows signs of wear quickly
This may indicate heavy use or skateboarding techniques that cause significant friction. Consider using shoes specifically designed for high-impact skateboarding for more demanding sessions.
Discoloration of leather
Clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for the shoe's finish. Protect from excessive sun exposure which can cause fading.
