FAQs
What material are these Etnies Fader trainers made of?
The specific black variant described is made of leather, featuring a durable 300 NBS rubber outsole and an EVA insole.
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
The Etnies Fader trainers are designed with skateboarding features like a durable outsole and reinforced stitching, making them suitable for recreational and intermediate skateboarding. For professional-level demands, consider models specifically engineered for advanced performance.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure your heel is snug, there's about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe, and the shoes do not pinch or feel overly tight.
What does etnies' environmental commitment mean for this product?
Etnies is committed to sustainability and has planted over 2.3 million trees. While this specific product may not have direct eco-materials, purchasing from etnies supports their broader environmental initiatives.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, construction, and adhesives of the shoes.
What is the primary benefit of the cupsole design?
The cupsole design provides enhanced support, stability, and shock absorption, which is beneficial for both skateboarding impacts and general comfort during wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new skate shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to break them in. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in period.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. Mud or excessive dust can affect grip. Wipe the soles clean with a damp cloth if necessary.
Stitching appears to be fraying.
Inspect the stitching regularly. If minor fraying occurs, consider a professional repair. The reinforced stitching is designed for durability, but excessive stress can still cause wear.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For the leather and suede components, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
