Full details
The Etnies Serin Michelin is a high-performance skate shoe designed for adult male skaters who demand both exceptional board control and long-lasting durability. By integrating a specialized Michelin rubber outsole with a robust suede construction, this shoe delivers superior grip and resilience against abrasive surfaces. While the reinforced build offers excellent protection for intense skate sessions, new users should note that the stiff, performance-oriented materials may require a short break-in period to reach optimal comfort.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, while designed for skating, the cushioned insole and breathable features make them comfortable for daily wear.
How do I maintain the suede material?
Use a suede-specific brush to keep the fibers lifted and clean; avoid water and heavy moisture.
Do these fit true to size?
Generally, yes. However, due to the snug performance fit and elastic tongue straps, some users prefer a slightly roomier size if they plan on wearing thick socks.
What is the purpose of the Michelin outsole?
The Michelin rubber outsole is designed specifically for high-abrasion resistance and maximum grip on skateboards.
Can I remove the insole?
The STI Performance Level 1 insole is intended to stay in the shoe to provide the necessary structural support and impact absorption.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
This is normal for high-durability skate shoes; wear them for a few days of casual activity to allow the materials to soften.
Tongue shifting to the side
Ensure the internal elastic tongue straps are properly positioned across the midfoot to hold the tongue securely in place.
Surface dirt on suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a dry suede brush to lift dirt; do not use heavy soaps or detergents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Etnies Serin Michelin shoes remain in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Lacing: Use the hidden lace loops to prevent excess friction against your board, which preserves your laces for longer.
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for light walking for the first 2-3 days to allow the suede and foam components to contour to your feet.
- Cleaning: Use a dry soft-bristled brush to remove dust and debris from the suede. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the structural integrity of the stitching and the suede finish.
- Storage: Keep shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber and suede materials from stiffening or fading over time.
