FAQs
What is the primary material of the outsole?
The outsole is made from STI Evolution foam with added rubber pods for enhanced traction and durability.
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
While designed with skateboarding in mind, they offer good grip and durability. For professional-level demands, consider specialized skate shoes with more robust features, but these are excellent for recreational and daily use.
How should I clean the grey and black exterior?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid soaking the shoes or using abrasive cleaners to maintain the color and material integrity.
Can the elastic heel support be utilized?
Yes, the elastic heel support allows for a more adaptable fit and can enable a 'drop-top' wear style, where the heel is pushed down for a slip-on feel.
What type of cushioning does the shoe offer?
The shoe features a Foam Lite 1 insole for cushioning and an STI Evolution foam outsole for shock absorption.
Is this shoe available in other colors or sizes?
The Etnies Scout line has various colorways and sizes. This specific product is the Grey/Black variant in UK size 14.
What is the benefit of the fully lined Lycra spandex interior?
The fully lined interior provides a snug, comfortable fit and helps with moisture management, keeping your feet drier during wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially or try wearing them for short periods to allow the materials to stretch slightly. Ensure you have the correct size, as UK 14 is a specific fit.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the rubber pods on the outsole with water and a brush to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.
Insole feels flat after some use
The Foam Lite 1 insole is designed for moderate cushioning. For enhanced comfort or support, consider using aftermarket insoles. Ensure the original insole is properly seated.
Lining feels uncomfortable
Ensure socks are worn to prevent direct skin irritation from the Lycra spandex lining. If irritation persists, consider an alternative shoe.
