FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
The Etnies Fader trainers are built with durable construction and reinforced stitching, making them suitable for regular skateboarding. While they offer good performance, professional-level skateboarding may require specialized shoes designed for extreme impact and specific board feel.
How do I determine my correct shoe size?
Refer to the product's sizing chart and measure your foot length from heel to toe. Compare this measurement to the chart to find the corresponding UK size. For these trainers, a UK 2.5 is specified.
What is the material of the outsole?
The outsole is made of 300 NBS rubber, which is known for its durability and grip.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity and appearance of the materials.
What does '300 NBS' refer to?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thicker socks for a short period to allow the materials to stretch slightly. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct for your foot.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace worn laces with new ones. Ensure laces are tied securely but not excessively tight to reduce strain.
Sole detaching slightly
For minor separation, a strong adhesive specifically designed for footwear can be used for repair. For significant detachment, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.
Insole losing cushioning
The die-cut EVA insole can be replaced with a new one if the cushioning significantly decreases over time. Ensure the new insole fits the shoe's shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Etnies Fader trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal fit and comfort.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: To clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe away dirt and scuffs. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the trainers 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 warp their shape and materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade.
