FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for professional skateboarding?
The Etnies Fader Trainers are inspired by skateboarding and built with durability in mind, making them suitable for regular skateboarding sessions and general park use. For highly technical or professional use, skaters may prefer models with more advanced technical features, but the Fader offers a solid foundation.
How do I choose the correct UK size?
Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer or Etnies. Ensure you measure your foot accurately, typically from heel to toe, and compare it to the UK sizing chart available for adult male footwear.
What is the warranty period for Etnies trainers?
Warranty information can vary. Typically, manufacturers offer a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Please check the specific product packaging or the Etnies website for the most accurate warranty details.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
While durable, these trainers are not waterproof. They can handle light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and to allow them to dry naturally if they get damp.
What does 'Skateboarding Owned Since 1986' mean for the product?
This signifies that Etnies is the first skateboarder-owned and operated global action sports footwear company. It means the product's design and functionality are deeply informed by the needs and culture of skateboarding.
How does Etnies contribute to sustainability?
Etnies is committed to the environment and has planted over 2.3 million trees. Purchasing their products supports these ongoing environmental initiatives.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness after first wear
This is common with durable footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The materials will naturally soften with use.
Suede material showing wear
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces fraying
Replace worn laces with a new pair. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid undue stress.
