FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
Yes, the Fader series is inspired by skate heritage and includes durable outsoles and padding suitable for standard skateboarding needs.
How do I determine if these are the right size for me?
The Etnies Fader follows standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to use your current athletic shoe size as a reference.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Foam Lite 1 insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for custom orthotics if required.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the materials are durable, these shoes are not waterproof. They are designed for general dry-weather use.
How should I clean the exterior if they get muddy?
Allow the mud to dry completely, brush off the excess with a soft brush, and spot-clean the remaining areas with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of tightness across the midfoot
Adjust the lacing tension; these shoes are heavily padded, so loosening the laces slightly can provide more room.
Minor squeaking during walking
This is often due to friction between the insole and the midsole; removing the insole and dusting it with a tiny amount of talcum powder usually resolves the issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Etnies Fader trainers remain in optimal condition, proper care is essential:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations during the first few days to allow the internal padding to contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth; avoid soaking the shoes as this can damage the internal foam components.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature rubber degradation.
- Compatibility: These are standard UK sized trainers. Ensure you verify your size using the Etnies standard sizing chart as fits can vary slightly across different series.
