FAQs
Are the Etnies Fader trainers good for beginners?
Yes, their durable construction, cushioning, and supportive design make them a solid choice for beginner skateboarders who need reliable footwear.
What makes the Fader silhouette legendary?
The Fader has been a staple in skate culture for years, recognized for its classic chunky design, bold branding, and consistent performance, making it a go-to model for many skaters.
How does etnies contribute to sustainability?
etnies is committed to environmental initiatives, notably having planted over 2.3 million trees with the support of its community. This reflects their dedication to making a positive ecological impact.
Can I wear these trainers for running or other sports?
While comfortable for casual wear, the Etnies Fader is specifically designed for skateboarding. Their construction prioritizes skate performance and durability over the specific needs of running or other athletic activities.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The product description mentions suede and leather as materials for other variants, and generally, skate shoes of this style utilize durable materials like suede, leather, or synthetic blends for the upper. For the White/Blue variant, specific material composition would typically be listed on the product packaging.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer or etnies. Ensure your foot is measured accurately, and consider the fit preferences common in skateboarding (often a snug but not constricting feel).
What is the warranty period for Etnies Fader trainers?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. It is recommended to check the specific warranty policy provided at the point of purchase or on the official etnies website.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to achieve a secure but comfortable fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Sole peeling away from the upper
For minor separation, a specialized shoe adhesive can be used. Significant separation may indicate wear beyond repair.
Insole is uncomfortable
The Etnies Fader comes with a die-cut EVA insole. If further customization is needed, it can be replaced with a compatible aftermarket insole.
Outer material showing excessive wear
Skateboarding inherently causes wear. For minor scuffs, cleaning may help. Significant wear on critical areas like the ollie patch is expected with heavy use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and comfort.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For dirt and grime, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and construction.
