Full details

FAQs
Are the etnies Fader trainers suitable for beginners?
Yes, the durable construction and comfortable cushioning make them a great choice for beginner skateboarders and those new to skate-style footwear.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a snug fit around the heel and midfoot, with enough room in the toe box for comfort without excessive movement. Refer to the sizing chart for UK measurements.
Can these shoes be used for other sports besides skateboarding?
While designed with skateboarding in mind, their comfort and support make them suitable for casual wear and other low-impact activities. They are not designed for high-impact sports like running or basketball.
What does '300 NBS rubber' refer to?
NBS (National Bureau of Standards) is a rating system for rubber hardness. 300 NBS indicates a durable rubber compound suitable for high-abrasion environments like skateboarding.
What is the environmental impact of purchasing these shoes?
etnies is committed to sustainability and has planted over 2.3 million trees with community support. Purchasing their products contributes to these environmental initiatives.
How does the cupsole design benefit the shoe?
The cupsole construction wraps around the foot, providing better support and durability compared to vulcanized soles. It also offers more cushioning and protection against impacts.
What is the warranty on these trainers?
Refer to the retailer or etnies website for specific warranty information, as it typically covers manufacturing defects for a limited period.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes with thicker socks for a short period to help stretch them, or consider a different size if the tightness is significant.
Sole separation or stitching failure
Contact customer support with proof of purchase. Due to reinforced stitching, this is rare but covered by warranty if it occurs under normal use.
Excessive wear on the toe or ollie area
Consider using lace locks or shoe protectors for skateboarding to extend the life of the shoe in high-wear zones. For casual wear, this is unlikely to be an issue.
