Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff on first wear.
The Etnies Fader trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them casually for a few sessions to allow the materials to conform to your feet.
Traction seems reduced.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. Dirt and gunk can significantly impact grip. Clean the sole with a brush and water if necessary.
Stitching appears to be fraying.
While reinforced, extreme use can test stitching. For minor fraying, avoid further stress. If significant, consider if the shoe has reached the end of its intended lifespan for heavy skateboarding.
