FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for professional skateboarding?
The Etnies Fader Trainers are designed with durability and skateboarding in mind, making them suitable for regular skate use. For highly technical or professional-level skateboarding, specific pro models might offer advanced features, but the Fader provides a solid foundation.
How do I determine the correct UK shoe size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length in centimeters or inches and compare it with the Etnies sizing chart. Many users find that the UK sizing runs true to their usual shoe size, but checking measurements is always best.

Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try applying talcum powder under the insole or a small amount of lubricant to the tongue area.
Laces fraying quickly
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can cause unnecessary stress. Consider replacing them with more durable skate-specific laces.
Discoloration on suede parts
Use a dedicated suede cleaner and brush. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced grip on the sole
Clean the sole with water and a brush to remove dirt and debris that might be hindering traction. Ensure the surface you are skating on is clean.
