Product Information

Full details

The Etnies Serin Michelin trainers are designed for male skaters and lifestyle users who require a high-performance shoe that merges the classic Aurelien silhouette with industrial-grade durability. Featuring a suede upper and an advanced Michelin rubber outsole, these trainers offer exceptional grip and long-lasting wear for demanding daily use, though the thin padding design may feel less substantial than bulkier skate shoes for those who prefer heavy ankle support.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing, though the internal elastic straps create a snug, locked-in feel.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the STI Performance Level 1 insole is removable if you need to use custom orthotics.

Is the outsole actually made by Michelin?

Yes, Etnies partners with Michelin to utilize their advanced rubber compounds specifically engineered for better traction and durability.

Are these suitable for everyday walking?

Absolutely. While designed for performance, the cushioning and lightweight materials make them very comfortable for casual, all-day wear.

How should I clean the suede?

Use a dry suede brush. Avoid water, soaps, and detergents as these can permanently stain or damage the suede texture.

Troubleshooting

Tongue sliding to the side

The shoes feature elasticated tongue straps. Ensure they are pulled straight across the midfoot before lacing to lock the tongue in place.

Difficulty putting the shoe on

Loosen the laces significantly near the toe box and use a shoehorn if necessary; the elastic straps are designed for a secure fit and may feel tight initially.

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a dry suede brush to lift the nap and remove dust. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede eraser.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your Etnies Serin Michelin trainers begins with ensuring a proper break-in period. Since the shoe utilizes elasticated tongue straps, it is normal for the shoe to feel snug when you first put it on; allow 2-3 days for the internal padding to compress to the shape of your foot. Regarding care, the suede upper should be cleaned using a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can cause the suede to harden and the glue to weaken. If you get them wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the shape of the Michelin sole and the integrity of the materials.
