FAQs
What is the primary intended use for the Etnies Fader trainers?
The Etnies Fader trainers are primarily designed for skateboarding and casual wear, offering durability, grip, and comfort suitable for these activities.
How do I clean the suede material on these trainers?
For suede, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth can be used. Avoid soaking the shoes.
What type of cushioning is used in the Etnies Fader?
These trainers feature a die-cut EVA insole for cushioning, along with a padded tongue and collar for added comfort and protection.
Are these trainers suitable for other sports besides skateboarding?

What does '300 NBS rubber outsole' mean?
NBS is a hardness scale for rubber. A 300 rating indicates a durable rubber compound that provides good grip and abrasion resistance, suitable for skateboarding.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Ensure you select your correct UK shoe size. The lacing system allows for adjustment, and the padded tongue and collar contribute to a secure feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust for a more comfortable fit. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoes need a brief break-in period.
Suede material looks dirty
Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions.
Outsole grip feels reduced
Clean the outsole with water and a brush to remove dirt and debris that may be hindering grip. Ensure the shoes are dry before use.
