FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for beginners in skateboarding?
Yes, the Etnies Fader trainers offer the durability, grip, and cushioning that are beneficial for beginner skateboarders learning new skills.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Etnies or the retailer. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the given measurements. Since these are trainers, ensure a comfortable fit that allows for slight foot swelling during activity.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the shoes offer some protection, they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet environments. If they get wet, dry them thoroughly as described in the care instructions.
What is the warranty on Etnies Fader trainers?
Etnies typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Specific details and duration can be found on the official Etnies website or by contacting their customer service.
Does Etnies offer other colorways for the Fader series?
Yes, the Etnies Fader series is available in various colorways and materials. Please check the product listings or Etnies' official website for the full range.
How do Etnies' environmental initiatives affect the product?
Etnies' commitment to planting trees means that purchasing their products contributes to reforestation efforts. While this doesn't directly alter the shoe's performance, it aligns with environmentally conscious consumer choices.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and wear them with thicker socks for a short period to allow the materials to stretch slightly. If they remain too tight, consider if they are the correct size or if a different lacing method could improve comfort.
Soles detaching
Minor separation can sometimes be addressed with a specialized shoe adhesive. For significant detachment, professional repair or replacement may be necessary. Contact customer support if within the warranty period.
Stitching unraveling
Small snags or loose threads can often be carefully trimmed. For major stitching failures, consult a cobbler or contact Etnies customer support regarding warranty claims.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with standard skateboarding activities and general casual wear. To care for your Etnies Fader trainers, it is recommended to clean them regularly. Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and construction. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Periodic inspection of the outsole and stitching can help identify areas needing attention to prolong the life of the footwear.
