FAQs
Are the Etnies Fader trainers suitable for professional skateboarding?
Yes, the Fader series is designed with skateboarding in mind, featuring a durable construction, reinforced Ollie area, and a grippy rubber outsole that holds up to skate abuse.
How should I clean the suede upper?
For general cleaning, use a dry suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, then allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Avoid soaking the suede.
What is the main benefit of the Foam Lite 1 insole?
The Foam Lite 1 insole provides lightweight cushioning and impact absorption, contributing to overall comfort during skateboarding and extended wear.
How does the sizing typically run for Etnies Fader trainers?
Etnies generally offers standard sizing. However, due to the nature of footwear and personal preference, trying them on or consulting size charts is recommended for the best fit.
What does '300 NBS' refer to on the outsole?
300 NBS refers to the density rating of the rubber used in the outsole, indicating a durable and resilient material suitable for high-wear activities like skateboarding.
Can these trainers be worn for activities other than skateboarding?
Absolutely. The Fader's classic court shoe design, comfort features, and durable construction make them suitable for everyday wear, walking, and casual activities.
Does Etnies have any environmental initiatives?
Yes, Etnies is committed to the environment and has planted over 2.3 million trees with the support of its community.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust lacing to find a more secure and comfortable fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Suede material appears dirty or stained
Use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, allowing to air dry completely.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For persistent issues, the natural grip of the material may have diminished with wear.
Padding feels insufficient
Consider using aftermarket insoles for additional cushioning. Ensure the original Foam Lite 1 insole is correctly positioned.
