What is the primary material of the Etnies Fader Trainers?
The specific materials can vary slightly by colorway, but the Fader series often incorporates suede and other durable synthetics for longevity.
How do I determine the correct size for UK 14?
Refer to the Etnies sizing chart or compare with your current footwear. UK 14 is a large size, so checking measurements is recommended for the best fit.

How does Etnies' sustainability commitment affect this product?
Etnies is committed to planting trees for their community's support. While this doesn't directly alter the shoe's features, it reflects the brand's overall environmental ethos.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the materials offer some resistance, they are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Excessive water exposure should be avoided.
What is the intended lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan depends heavily on the frequency and type of use. For dedicated skateboarding, wear and tear will be more significant than for casual everyday use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Wearing thinner socks can also help with initial fit.
Laces fraying quickly
Check for any rough edges on eyelets or potential friction points. Consider using stronger, skate-specific laces if frequent breakage is an issue.
Tread wear on the outsole
This is normal for skate shoes with heavy use. For skateboarding, outsole wear is expected. For casual use, ensure you are not scuffing the soles excessively.
White material getting dirty easily
Clean promptly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Consider using a protective spray designed for white footwear, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
