How do I choose the right size?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common for new skate shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in and conform to your feet.
Laces fraying or breaking.
Replace with durable skate-specific laces. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can cause premature wear.
Outsole showing signs of wear after heavy use.
The 300 NBS rubber outsole is designed for durability, but heavy skateboarding will eventually cause wear. For extensive damage beyond normal wear, consider professional repair or replacement.
Insole losing cushioning.
The die-cut EVA insole provides initial cushioning. If it flattens over time, consider replacing it with a new aftermarket insole for added comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Etnies Fader trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed primarily for skateboarding and casual wear. They are compatible with most skateboards and suitable for general adult male footwear needs.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Fader trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials. For suede or nubuck areas, use a specialized suede brush.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can cause shrinkage or warping.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve their color and material integrity.
