FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, the padded tongue and EVA insole provide significant comfort for extended periods of walking or casual wear.
What does the 300 NBS rubber rating mean?
300 NBS refers to the durability and density of the rubber compound, indicating it is engineered for high abrasion resistance common in skateboarding.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can weaken the specialized glues and reinforced stitching, which may shorten the lifespan of the shoe.
Is the Jameson 2 Eco a unisex model?
Yes, the sizing and style are designed to be unisex, accommodating a wide range of adult foot shapes.
How does the 'Destruct Wash' finish affect the material?
The Destruct Wash provides a distressed, unique aesthetic to the exterior material while maintaining the same physical durability as standard versions.
Does Etnies use recycled materials in this series?
The Jameson 2 Eco series is part of Etnies' environmental commitment, focusing on sustainable practices and supporting tree-planting initiatives.
Troubleshooting
Excessive heel slippage during activity
Ensure the laces are tightened specifically at the mid-foot eyelets, or use a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the ankle.
Insole feels too hard or flat
While the die-cut EVA insole is standard, you can swap it for a third-party orthotic or higher-cushion aftermarket insole if you require additional arch support.
Outer stitching appears frayed after heavy skating
Use a small amount of shoe-repair adhesive (often called 'shoe goo') on the specific area of frayed stitching to prevent the thread from unraveling further.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-durability rubber outsole for long-term use
- Enhanced impact protection with padded tongue and collar
- Solid construction quality prevents early structural failure
- Environmentally conscious manufacturing values
Cons
- Chunky design may be too bulky for those preferring minimal footwear
- Standard cupsole weight is heavier than vulcanized alternatives
- Material aesthetic of the Destruct Wash finish is distinct and may not suit all styles
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Etnies Jameson 2 Eco trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: The cupsole design is sturdy, so expect a brief 1-2 day break-in period where the materials soften to the shape of your foot.
- Sizing: These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. If you prefer to wear thick performance skate socks, consider your standard size as the padded collar provides a secure fit.
- Cleaning: Spot clean the exterior with a soft brush and cold water to remove dust or dirt. Do not machine wash, as this can degrade the reinforced stitching and structural integrity of the rubber cupsole.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the rubber outsole from prematurely stiffening or cracking.
