FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, the Fader series is designed by a skater-owned company specifically for the durability and grip needed in action sports.
How do I ensure I pick the right size?
These trainers use standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes or prefer a wider fit for thicker socks, consider sizing up by a half-size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the construction and materials. Stick to surface cleaning with a damp cloth.
Are these shoes sustainable?
Etnies has a history of environmental commitment, including the 'Buy a Shoe, Plant a Tree' program which has planted over 2.3 million trees.
Are there different material options?
Yes, the Fader series includes various material finishes such as suede and synthetic textiles across different models.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The Fader is built for support; ensure the laces are loosened during the first few wears until the materials soften to the shape of your foot.
Outsole loses grip from debris
Use a soft-bristle brush to remove dirt and small stones from the tread pattern to restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Sizing: These shoes are true-to-size but may feel firm upon the first wear. We recommend wearing them for shorter periods during the first week to allow the materials to contour to your feet.
- Compatibility: Ideal for use with flat-pedal bikes, skateboards, or general casual outfits. They are not intended for high-intensity running or technical athletic sports.
- Care Instructions: To maintain the appearance, wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For suede variants, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the bonding agents and materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading or hardening.
