FAQs

What is the primary intended use for the Etnies Fader Trainers?

The Etnies Fader Trainers are primarily designed for skateboarding and casual everyday wear, offering durability, comfort, and a classic skate style.

Are these trainers suitable for running or other high-impact sports?

While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact sports like running. Their design is optimized for skateboarding and casual use.

How do I clean the leather version of the Etnies Fader Trainers?

For the leather version, use a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner and conditioner. Allow them to air dry naturally.

What is the benefit of the padded tongue and collar?

The padded tongue and collar provide extra cushioning and protection around the ankle and top of the foot, enhancing comfort and reducing irritation during wear.

How does Etnies contribute to sustainability?

Etnies is committed to sustainability and has planted over 2.3 million trees as part of its environmental initiatives.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in gradually. Gently flex the soles and uppers by hand when not wearing them.

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or checking if the laces are too tight.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace with durable skate laces. Ensure you are not tying them too tightly, which can put excessive stress on the material.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

While the 300 NBS rubber offers good grip, performance on very wet surfaces may be reduced. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal traction.

Pros and Cons

  • Comfortable cushioning for extended wear.
  • Classic and timeless skate shoe design.
  • Reinforced stitching for longevity.
  • Good grip and stability from the rubber outsole.

Cons

  • May feel stiff upon initial wear due to robust construction.
  • Chunky design might not appeal to those preferring minimalist footwear.
  • Primarily designed for skate/casual use, not high-performance athletics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Etnies Fader Trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males and are suitable for skateboarding, casual wear, and general athletic activities. They are not specifically designed for specialized sports requiring performance-specific footwear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: For leather models, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For suede, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources.
  3. Maintenance: Regularly inspect stitching for wear and tear, especially after heavy use. Consider using protective sprays for suede or nubuck versions to maintain their appearance and water resistance.
