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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of interior cushioning
  • Durable rubber outsole construction
  • Excellent ankle support via padded collar
  • Versatile design for various casual settings

Cons

  • Not optimized for high-breathability needs
  • Bulky profile may not suit all fashion preferences
  • Requires break-in time due to padding

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Etnies Fader trainers remain in optimal condition, proper care is essential:

  1. Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations during the first few days to allow the internal padding to contour to your foot shape.
  2. 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.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature rubber degradation.
  4. 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.
