FAQs

Can I use these for other sports?

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Etnies Serin Michelin trainers last, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. Since the upper is crafted from suede, avoid machine washing, which can damage the nap of the material. Instead, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris after your skate session. If the shoes become damp, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the glue from weakening or the material from shrinking. Ensure you are ordering your standard size, as these trainers fit true to size for most users.
