FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for beginners?
Yes, the durable construction and cushioning make them a good choice for beginners learning to skate, offering protection and support.
What is the material of the outsole?
The outsole is made from 300 NBS rubber, known for its durability and grip.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for stains. Always allow to air dry and consider a suede protector spray.
Can I wear these for everyday activities, not just skating?
Absolutely. The Fader's classic design and comfort features make them suitable for casual, everyday wear.
What does 'cupsole design' mean?
A cupsole is constructed by stitching the upper part of the shoe to a rubber sole that wraps up the sides, providing enhanced durability and impact absorption compared to vulcanized soles.
How does etnies contribute to the environment?
etnies is committed to environmental sustainability and has planted over 2.3 million trees.
Troubleshooting
Tread wear is too fast.
Ensure you are using the correct technique for landings and consider reinforcing stress points with extra stitching if necessary. Proper grip tape maintenance on your deck can also help.
Insole feels flat.
The EVA insole provides cushioning. If more support is needed, consider purchasing aftermarket insoles designed for skateboarding or athletic use.
Suede gets dirty easily.
Regularly brush off loose dirt. Use a suede eraser for scuffs and a damp cloth with mild soap for stains. Apply a suede protector spray for preventative care.
Tongue slips to one side.
Ensure the laces are threaded through the lace loops on the tongue (if present) or tied tightly to keep the tongue in place.
