FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for beginners in skateboarding?

How do I determine the correct UK size?

What is the environmental initiative Etnies supports?
Etnies is committed to planting over 2.3 million trees with the support of its community, aiming to make a positive environmental impact.
Can I wear these trainers for sports other than skateboarding?
While designed for skateboarding, their cushioned comfort and support make them suitable for general casual wear and other light activities. They may not be optimized for high-impact sports like running.
How often should I clean my Fader trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after skateboarding sessions or if they become visibly dirty. Regular spot cleaning can help maintain their appearance.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The description often indicates suede or leather for the upper, providing a classic skate shoe look and feel.
Does the shoe offer good ankle support?
The Fader features a padded tongue and collar, which provide additional comfort and a degree of support around the ankle area.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Wear the trainers with thicker socks for a few days to help them stretch slightly. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size larger or consulting the size chart.
Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied
Ensure laces are of appropriate length and material. Consider double-knotting them for added security during activity.
Soles showing premature wear
Ensure proper skate technique to minimize unnecessary friction. Regular cleaning of the outsole can also help maintain grip and prolong its life.
Stains on the suede or upper material
Use a specialized suede cleaner or a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Etnies Fader trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are designed for broad compatibility with casual adult male attire and are specifically suited for skateboarding activities. To care for your Fader trainers and maintain their appearance and performance:
- Cleaning: For regular cleaning, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to crack or warp.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
