FAQs

Are Etnies Fader trainers suitable for wide feet?

The fit can vary. While designed for a standard fit, some users find them to accommodate slightly wider feet over time as the materials break in. It's recommended to check specific sizing guides or try them on if possible.

What is the primary material of the Etnies Fader trainers?

The Etnies Fader trainers often feature a combination of materials, including suede and synthetic elements, designed for durability. The specific composition can vary by colorway.

How does Etnies' sustainability commitment affect these trainers?

Etnies is committed to environmental responsibility. While specific details for this model might vary, the brand actively plants trees and aims to reduce its environmental impact in its manufacturing processes.

Can these trainers be used for other sports besides skateboarding?

While primarily designed for skateboarding, their durable construction and supportive nature make them suitable for general casual wear and light athletic activities. However, they may not be optimized for high-impact sports.

What does 'Skateboarder owned since 1986' mean for the product?

This signifies that the brand's origins and core values are deeply rooted in skateboarding culture. This heritage influences the design, durability, and functionality of their products, ensuring they meet the demands of skaters.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the Etnies sizing chart, paying close attention to the UK sizing. Measure your foot length and compare it to the provided chart. Given the product variant is UK 8, ensure this matches your measurements.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or flexing the shoe. If it persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Laces wear out quickly

Consider replacing the original laces with more durable, waxed skate laces designed for increased abrasion resistance.

Material shows excessive wear after limited use

Ensure you are using the appropriate cleaning methods. For skateboarding, expect some wear and tear, but significant damage may indicate improper use or a need for reinforced skate-specific models.

  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
