Product Information

Full details

The Etnies Serin Michelin trainers are designed for skaters and street-style enthusiasts who demand superior durability and grip from their footwear. By pairing the classic Aurelien silhouette with an advanced Michelin rubber outsole, these trainers offer exceptional longevity and traction for high-impact activities. While the robust construction and technical features ensure a secure, high-performance fit, the thin padding in the collar and tongue may feel less cushioned compared to lifestyle-focused sneakers.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for walking?

Yes, but they are primarily designed for skating. The sole is firmer than a typical walking shoe, which may feel less cushioned.

What is the benefit of the Michelin outsole?

The Michelin outsole provides superior grip, board control, and significantly higher abrasion resistance than standard rubber soles.

How do I clean the black suede?

Use a dry suede brush or a specialized suede eraser. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can affect the suede texture.

Do the shoes run true to size?

The Etnies Serin Michelin generally follows standard sizing, though the internal straps provide a snug, performance-oriented fit.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, you can replace the factory insoles with orthotics or aftermarket insoles if you require different arch support.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot

Check if the elasticated tongue straps are caught under the arch; adjust them to lie flat against the tongue.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a dry suede brush in a circular motion to lift the nap and remove surface dust.

Laces are fraying quickly

Ensure they are properly routed through the hidden lace loops to protect them from contact with abrasive surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional outsole durability thanks to the Michelin collaboration
  • Secure, stable fit provided by elastic tongue straps
  • Enhanced breathability via System Flo2 technology
  • High-quality suede construction
  • Hidden lace loops extend the life of the laces

Cons

  • Thin padding may lack the plush comfort of casual lifestyle trainers
  • Suede requires specific care to maintain appearance
  • Design is optimized for skating and may feel firm for all-day walking

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Etnies Serin Michelin trainers last as long as possible, follow these care and setup guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: Because of the robust suede and Force Shield materials, allow a few days of regular wear to let the upper conform to your foot.
  2. Suede Maintenance: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris. Avoid using water or harsh soaps, which can stain or damage the suede texture.
  3. Lacing: Utilize the hidden lace loops to prevent fraying. Ensure the laces are tightened firmly to engage the elasticated tongue straps for maximum stability.
  4. Cleaning: For stains, use a suede eraser rather than liquid cleaners. If the rubber outsole becomes dirty, a soft cloth with a small amount of mild detergent and water can be used to restore the grip.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber and suede from degrading over time.
