FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for beginners in skateboarding?
Yes, the Etnies Fader Trainers offer good durability and cushioning, making them a solid choice for beginners learning to skate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as skate shoe fit can be personal. Ensure there's enough room for your toes without excessive movement.
What does '300 NBS rubber outsole' mean?
NBS is a measure of rubber hardness. A 300 NBS rating indicates a relatively durable and grippy rubber compound, ideal for skate shoe outsoles.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the outsole provides some grip, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to water.
What is the environmental commitment of Etnies?
Etnies is committed to sustainability and has planted over 2.3 million trees with the support of its community.
How does the cupsole design benefit skateboarding?
The cupsole construction provides a more integrated feel between the outsole and the upper, offering better board feel and durability compared to vulcanized soles in some skateboarding contexts.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider using thicker or thinner socks to adjust fit, or explore lacing techniques to customize tightness.
Reduced grip on skateboard
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that may be affecting traction. The 300 NBS rubber is designed for grip but can be affected by grime.
Stitching appears to be fraying
While reinforced, heavy use can stress stitching. If minor fraying occurs, it may be cosmetic. For significant damage, consider professional shoe repair or replacement.
