FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While comfortable for walking and daily wear, the Etnies Fader is a skate-style trainer and is not optimized for long-distance running or high-impact athletic performance.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Your heel should remain locked in place without slipping, and you should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
What is the 300NBS rubber outsole?
It is a specific rubber formulation used by Etnies known for its high durability and superior grip, which is essential for both daily wear and skateboarding.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Foam Lite 1 insoles are removable, allowing you to clean them or replace them with custom orthotics if preferred.
Is the material waterproof?
The Fader trainers are not waterproof. We recommend using a water-repellent spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight
Loosen the laces significantly before putting the shoe on, as the padded tongue and collar provide a snug, secure initial fit.
Visible scuffs on the upper
Use a specialized suede or leather cleaner appropriate for the specific material of your colorway to buff out marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Etnies Fader Trainers, consider these tips:
- Sizing: These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing; ensure a snug fit to allow the foam to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution with a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Always air-dry at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the rubber and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
