FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, the Fader is designed for both skate performance and casual daily use, providing ample support for walking.
How do I determine if 11 UK is the right size for me?
We recommend checking your current comfortable trainers for size consistency, as the Fader follows standard adult UK sizing.
Can these be washed in a machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesives and the foam interior. Spot cleaning by hand is the recommended method.
What is the primary function of the 300NBS rubber?
300NBS is a durable rubber compound that provides superior board feel and long-lasting traction on various surfaces.
Do these shoes come with different midsole technologies?
The Fader series specifically utilizes the egg crate construction for a balance of support and flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
Wear them indoors for short periods to allow the materials and internal foam to flex and conform to your foot.
Loss of grip on the outsole
Use a damp cloth or soft brush to clear away dust and debris that may have collected on the rubber tread.
Visible scuffs on the exterior
If the upper is suede, use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Etnies Fader trainers, it is important to treat them as you would any high-quality footwear. Since these trainers are often constructed from durable materials like suede, keep them away from excessive mud or water. To clean them, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt from the surface. For deep stains on non-suede sections, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid putting them in the washing machine or dryer, as the heat and excessive water can compromise the structural integrity of the internal foam and rubber adhesives. When choosing your size, consider that these trainers are designed for a secure, athletic fit; if you prefer extra space for thick socks, you may want to ensure the UK sizing corresponds correctly to your standard foot measurement.
