FAQs
Are the Etnies Fader Trainers suitable for beginners?
Yes, the durable construction and cushioning make them a solid choice for beginner skateboarders looking for a reliable and comfortable shoe.
What is the main difference between the Fader and other skate shoes?
The Fader is known for its classic, chunky silhouette and heritage design, offering robust durability and comfort that has made it a long-standing favorite in skate culture.
How do I determine my correct shoe size?
Refer to the UK sizing chart provided by the retailer. For the Etnies Fader, a UK 7 is equivalent to a specific foot length, ensure your foot measurement aligns with this.
Does etnies offer other colorways for the Fader model?
Yes, the etnies Fader is available in various colorways and material combinations, often including black, grey, and green options, depending on the specific release and retailer.
What does '300 NBS rubber' mean?
NBS is a standard for rubber hardness. A rating of 300 indicates a relatively durable and abrasion-resistant rubber compound, suitable for the demands of skateboarding.
Is this shoe waterproof?
No, the Etnies Fader Trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are made from materials like suede and mesh, which are not inherently waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, checking for debris, and reinserting it firmly. A light dusting of powder under the insole might also help.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from dirt, mud, or excessive dust. Wipe it down with a damp cloth. If the outsole appears worn down significantly, it may be time to consider a replacement pair.
Discomfort in the arch area
The included die-cut EVA insole provides moderate support. If you require additional arch support, consider purchasing compatible aftermarket insoles designed for skateboarding or casual wear.
