FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for beginners in skateboarding?
Yes, the durable construction and supportive design make them an excellent choice for beginners learning to skate.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
The trainers should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight. There should be a small amount of space at the toe, and your heel should not slip when walking or skating.
What is the purpose of the 300 NBS rubber outsole?
The 300 NBS rubber compound is chosen for its durability and grip, providing reliable traction on a skateboard and resisting wear from friction.
Can these shoes be used for other sports like running?
While comfortable for casual wear, these trainers are specifically designed for skateboarding. They lack the specialized cushioning and support required for activities like running.
How often should I clean my Fader trainers?
Clean them as needed based on usage. Regular brushing after each skate session will help maintain their appearance and prevent dirt buildup.
What does 'heritage vibes' mean in the product description?
'Heritage vibes' refers to the classic, traditional design elements of the shoe that evoke the history and style of skate footwear from previous eras.
What is Etnies' environmental commitment?
Etnies is committed to planting trees for its community's support, having planted over 2.3 million trees to date.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust them for a more comfortable fit. If still too tight, ensure you have selected the correct size.
Outsole peeling away
For minor separation, a strong adhesive suitable for rubber and fabric can be used. For significant damage, contact customer support.
Insole feels flat after use
The die-cut EVA insole may compress over time. Consider replacing it with a new insole for added cushioning.
Stitching is coming undone
Small loose threads can be carefully trimmed. For larger unraveling, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Etnies Fader trainers come ready to wear. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal comfort and performance. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug but comfortable fit, securing them properly before use.
Compatibility: These trainers are primarily designed for skateboarding and casual wear. They are compatible with most skateboard decks and grip tape. While suitable for general active play, they are not specialized for sports like running or basketball, which require different types of support.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Etnies Fader trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off dirt and debris with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent damage.
