FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for heavy rain?
The trainers feature a water-resistant treated upper, offering good protection against moderate moisture and light rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, additional waterproofing measures might be beneficial.
How warm are the trainers?
They are equipped with a 3M Thinsulate lining and a thermal heat retention stroble board, making them significantly warm and suitable for colder weather conditions.
Can I put these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, reduce water resistance, and compromise the shoe's structure. Clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap.
What is the primary benefit of the 400NBS rubber outsole?
The 400NBS rubber outsole with its reverse lug tread is designed to provide superior traction and grip on a variety of surfaces, enhancing stability and preventing slips.
Is the insole removable?
The product description mentions a Foam Lite 1 insole for comfort. While not explicitly stated as removable, many athletic insoles are designed to be taken out if you wish to add custom orthotics.
What does 'MTW' stand for in the product name?
MTW typically stands for 'Mid Top Winterized' or a similar designation indicating enhanced features for colder or wetter conditions within the Etnies line.
Are these trainers waterproof or water-resistant?
They are described as having a 'water-resistant treated upper', which means they offer protection against moisture and light water, but they are not fully waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try to adjust the tongue. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct or if the shoes need a brief break-in period.
Reduced water resistance
Clean the shoes and reapply a suitable waterproofing spray. Ensure all seams are intact.
Traction seems poor
Check the outsole for embedded debris or wear. Clean the sole thoroughly. If worn, the outsole may need replacement.
Discomfort after wear
Ensure the laces are properly tied to support the foot without being too tight. The Foam Lite 1 insole provides cushioning, but individual foot anatomy may require additional support.
