FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
The Etnies Fader trainers are built with features like a durable outsole and reinforced stitching, making them well-suited for skateboarding. They offer good performance for both casual skaters and those looking for reliable footwear for park and street skating.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper of the Etnies Fader trainers is typically made of suede, offering a classic skate shoe aesthetic and feel.
How do I clean my Etnies Fader trainers?
For suede parts, use a soft brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains, applied gently with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally and avoid direct heat.
What is the warranty on these trainers?
Etnies generally offers a standard warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the specific retailer or Etnies' official website for detailed warranty information.
Do these trainers offer good ankle support?
The trainers feature a padded tongue and collar, which contribute to a secure fit and some degree of ankle comfort and support. However, they are not high-top boots and provide standard support for a low-profile skate shoe.
Can I wear these for running or other athletic activities?
While comfortable, the Etnies Fader trainers are specifically designed for skateboarding and casual wear. They lack the specialized cushioning and support features required for rigorous athletic activities like running.
What does '300 NBS' refer to in the outsole description?
NBS (National Bureau of Standards) is a measure of rubber hardness. A 300 rating indicates a relatively durable and abrasion-resistant rubber compound suitable for skate shoes.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from insoles.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning both the insole and the inside of the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. A small amount of powder (like talcum powder) under the insole can sometimes help.
Laces fraying or breaking quickly.
Ensure laces are not tied excessively tight, which can put undue stress on them. Consider replacing standard laces with more durable, skate-specific laces if this is a recurring issue.
Sole separating from the upper.
While reinforced, extreme stress can cause separation. For minor separations, a flexible shoe adhesive designed for rubber and fabric can be used. For significant damage, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.
