FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for professional skateboarding?
The etnies Fader trainers offer durable construction and good cushioning, making them suitable for general skateboarding and recreational use. For professional-level performance and specific demands, dedicated professional skate shoes might offer advanced features.
How do I clean the Grey/Purple suede material?
For suede, use a suede brush for dry dirt and a suede eraser for stains. Avoid water and harsh chemicals. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the lifespan of the 300 NBS rubber outsole?
The 300 NBS rubber outsole is known for its durability. Lifespan varies depending on frequency of use, intensity of activity (e.g., skateboarding vs. casual wear), and care maintenance.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede and cupsole trainers as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
What does 'Cupsole design' mean?
A cupsole is constructed from a single piece of rubber that is molded to form the sole and sidewalls of the shoe. This construction offers durability and stability, often preferred in skate shoes for impact protection.
Does etnies offer other colorways or sizes for the Fader series?
Yes, the etnies Fader series is available in a variety of colorways and sizes. Please check the product listings for the full range.
What is the environmental commitment mentioned?
etnies is committed to sustainability and has planted over 2.3 million trees, supported by its community, to make a positive environmental impact.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the laces are loosened before putting on. Wear with thinner socks if necessary. The shoes may also loosen slightly with wear.
Suede material looks dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, carefully use a suede eraser. Avoid washing with water.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any debris or mud that may be hindering traction.
Padding feels insufficient
Consider using aftermarket insoles for additional cushioning, though this may slightly alter the fit.
