Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Etnies Fader trainers, it is recommended to keep them dry and away from excessive moisture. If the shoes become dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the upper materials. For deeper cleaning, wipe down the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that may degrade the rubber compound. These trainers are standard adult sizing; ensure you verify your UK foot size before purchase, as the padded interior offers a structured fit.
