Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider using thicker or thinner socks to slightly adjust fit. If issues persist, try a different size or width if available.
Reduced grip on skateboard
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that may be affecting traction. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear, which might indicate it's time for a replacement.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly without being too tight. The insole provides cushioning, but for added comfort, consider a specialized aftermarket insole designed for your specific foot type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Etnies Fader trainers are ready to wear right out of the box, requiring no special setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: These trainers are compatible with a wide range of activities, particularly skateboarding. They are also suitable for casual wear and are designed for adult males.
Care: To maintain the trainers:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, especially on the suede or leather components.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent material degradation.
