FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for beginners in skateboarding?
Yes, the Etnies Fader trainers offer a good balance of durability, cushioning, and grip, making them a solid choice for skaters of all levels, including beginners.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The product description highlights durable construction, often incorporating materials like suede or leather in similar Etnies models, though specific material can vary by colorway. This model features suede.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing guide for Etnies shoes and measure your foot length. The UK sizing is provided (e.g., UK 6). Ensure there is comfortable space at the toe and the heel does not slip.
What does '300 NBS rubber outsole' mean?
NBS (National Bureau of Standards) is a rating for rubber hardness. A 300 rating generally indicates a durable, yet flexible rubber compound suitable for skate shoes, offering good grip and abrasion resistance.
Does Etnies offer other colorways or styles in the Fader series?
Yes, Etnies offers various colorways and sibling models within the Fader series, often with different material compositions or secondary color accents.
What is the warranty on these trainers?
Specific warranty details are best obtained directly from the retailer or the official Etnies website, as these can vary by region and purchase date.
How does the brand's environmental commitment affect the product?
Etnies' commitment to planting trees is a company-wide initiative. While it doesn't directly alter the shoe's construction, it reflects the brand's values. Some specific Etnies products may use recycled or sustainable materials.
Troubleshooting
Traction seems poor on certain surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. For skateboards, check your grip tape condition.
Laces wear out quickly.
Consider using more durable laces specifically designed for skate shoes. Check for sharp edges on the eyelets.
Foot discomfort after extended wear.
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Consider using aftermarket insoles for additional arch support if needed.
Stitching coming undone.
While reinforced, extreme use can eventually cause wear. Contact customer support if the issue occurs very early in the product's life.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed primarily for skateboarding and casual wear. They are compatible with standard skateboarding equipment. The unisex design is marketed towards adult males.
Care:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
