Product Information

Full details

The Etnies Serin Michelin trainers are high-performance skate shoes designed for adult skaters who demand superior grip and long-lasting durability on both park and street terrain. Building on the classic Aurelien silhouette, these shoes integrate advanced Michelin sole technology and reinforced construction to handle rigorous wear. While the focus is on technical performance, users should note that the slimmed-down, minimalist padding profile may feel less supportive for those accustomed to bulky, heavily cushioned skate shoes.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they follow standard UK adult sizing. The internal elastic straps ensure a secure fit, so your standard size should be accurate.

Can these be washed in a machine?

No. Machine washing can ruin the suede material and weaken the structural adhesives. Stick to spot cleaning.

What is the primary benefit of the Michelin sole?

The Michelin sole provides significantly better abrasion resistance and grip compared to standard vulcanized or cupsole rubber.

Does the suede require protective spray?

While optional, using a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray can help keep the shoes cleaner for longer in wet conditions.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?

While they are durable enough for walking, they are optimized for skating performance, which means they are flatter and have less arch support than dedicated running shoes.

Troubleshooting

The shoe feels too tight across the midfoot

Adjust the tension on the laces. The elasticated tongue straps are designed for a snug fit, so loosening the laces slightly can relieve pressure.

Loss of grip on the outsole

Dust and debris can accumulate in the tread pattern. Wipe the soles down with a damp cloth to restore the natural tackiness of the Michelin rubber.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional grip provided by the Michelin sole unit
  • High-quality suede material resists premature wear
  • Advanced breathability via System Flo2
  • Locked-in feel from elasticated tongue straps
  • Reinforced stitching ensures long-term structural integrity

Cons

  • Minimalist collar and tongue padding may feel thin
  • Not intended for non-skate casual use if high cushioning is preferred
  • Suede requires careful cleaning to maintain appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Etnies Serin Michelin trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:

  1. Lacing: Take advantage of the hidden lace loops to customize your tightness; because of the elasticated tongue straps, you can often leave the shoes slightly looser without sacrificing control.
  2. Break-in: The shoes will feel quite stiff initially due to the Force Shield construction. Allow for 3-5 sessions for the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
  3. Cleaning: Since the upper is made of suede, avoid submerging them in water. Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a specialized suede eraser for scuffs.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber outsole and adhesives from degrading over time.
