FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
Yes, the Etnies Fader Trainers offer good durability and comfort, making them suitable for beginner skaters.

What is the warranty on Etnies Fader Trainers?
Warranty information can vary by retailer. It's best to check with the place of purchase for specific warranty details.
Are these trainers waterproof?

How does Etnies contribute to the environment?
Etnies is committed to sustainability and has planted over 2.3 million trees with community support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear the shoes with medium-thickness socks for a few hours each day to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. If they remain too tight, consider if the size is correct or if a different model might be a better fit.
Reduced grip on the board
Clean the outsole with a brush and water to remove accumulated dust or debris that might be affecting traction.
Stitching is coming undone
Minor fraying can sometimes be trimmed. For significant damage, consult a cobbler or consider replacement if the structural integrity is compromised.
