FAQs

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

The Etnies Fader trainers are primarily designed for skateboarding, offering durability, grip, and impact protection suitable for skate park use and street skating.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday casual wear?

Yes, their cushioned comfort and classic skate style make them suitable for casual everyday wear in addition to skateboarding.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for stains. For more stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying. Avoid getting the suede overly wet.

What does '300 NBS rubber outsole' mean?

300 NBS refers to a measurement of rubber hardness. A higher NBS rating generally indicates a harder, more durable rubber, suitable for skate shoe outsoles that need to withstand abrasion.

What is the benefit of the cupsole design?

The cupsole design provides greater durability and a more robust construction compared to vulcanized soles, offering better support and shock absorption, which is beneficial for skateboarding.

Does etnies offer different color options for the Fader series?

Yes, the Fader series is available in a variety of colorways, including brown/blue, black, green, and grey/black, among others.

What is the cushioning like in these trainers?

These trainers feature a die-cut EVA insole and a padded tongue and collar, providing good cushioning and comfort for impact absorption.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them more or gently flexing the sole. Ensure the laces are tied properly, not too tight or too loose.

Reduced grip over time

Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any debris or dirt that may be affecting traction. For heavy wear, the outsole may eventually need replacement by a professional cobbler.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size. New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box with no specific setup required. They are designed for male adults and compatible with standard UK shoe sizing. To maintain their condition:

  • Cleaning: Wipe down the suede and rubber with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, which can damage the materials and construction.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain shape and prevent material degradation.
  • Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially for the suede variants.
