Product Information
Full details
The Etnies Scout Trainers are designed for adult males seeking lightweight, versatile footwear for daily wear or post-activity relaxation. Their key benefit lies in the blend of skate-inspired DNA with exceptional comfort and durability. A potential caveat is their focus on casual and skate-related activities rather than high-performance athletic pursuits. These trainers feature a super-light construction, a fully lined lycra spandex interior, and an STI Evolution Foam midsole with rubber pods for extended wear. The breathable mesh upper and padded collar enhance comfort by reducing heat and foot fatigue. Etnies is also committed to environmental sustainability, having planted over 2.3 million trees.

Troubleshooting
Foot fatigue after extended wear.
Ensure the correct size is being worn. The breathable mesh and padded collar are designed to minimize fatigue, but proper fit is crucial. Consider if the activity level exceeds the intended use of casual wear.
Reduced traction on surfaces.
Clean the rubber pods on the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
Discomfort around the ankle.
Verify that the laces are adjusted properly for a comfortable fit without being too tight. The padded collar is designed for comfort, so ensure it is sitting correctly.
Mesh upper appears dirty.
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the mesh. Allow to air dry completely.
