FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
The etnies Fader is designed with skateboarding in mind, featuring durable construction and a grippy outsole. While suitable for recreational and street skateboarding, professional athletes may opt for models with more specialized features.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the size chart provided by etnies. The listed UK sizes are a guide, but individual fit can vary.
What is the warranty on these trainers?
Information regarding warranty periods is typically available through the retailer or the official etnies website. It's best to check the specific warranty terms for your purchase.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
While the rubber outsole offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Avoid excessive exposure to water to maintain their material integrity and comfort.
What does '300 NBS rubber outsole' mean?
300 NBS is a measure of the rubber's hardness and density. A higher NBS rating generally indicates a harder, more durable rubber compound, suitable for skate shoes.
Does etnies offer other colors or styles in the Fader series?
Yes, etnies typically offers the Fader series in various colorways and material combinations. Please check the etnies website or authorized retailers for the full range.
How does etnies contribute to the environment?
Etnies is committed to environmental sustainability and has planted millions of trees through initiatives supported by its community.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces. If still tight, consider wearing thinner socks or a professional stretching service. For future purchases, ensure accurate sizing.
Sole separating from upper
Minor separation can sometimes be addressed with shoe adhesive designed for rubber and fabric. For significant separation, contact customer support regarding warranty.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and water to remove dirt and debris that may be hindering grip.
Padding feels insufficient
Consider adding aftermarket insoles for additional cushioning, ensuring they fit well within the shoe.
