Product Information
Full details
The Etnies Jameson HTW Trainers in Black/Brown (UK 11) are designed for adult males seeking warmth and water resistance in their footwear, particularly during colder months. Their key benefit lies in the 3M Thinsulate lining and water-resistant upper, ensuring comfort and dryness. A potential caveat is that while designed for warmth, they are still trainers and may not offer the same insulation as dedicated winter boots in extreme conditions. Key features include a durable rubber outsole, supportive insole, and a secure fit.

FAQs
Are these trainers fully waterproof?
The Etnies Jameson HTW trainers feature a water-resistant treated upper, meaning they can handle light rain and splashes. They are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water for extended periods.
How warm are the 3M Thinsulate linings?
The 3M Thinsulate lining provides significant warmth for colder weather conditions, making them suitable for autumn and mild winter use. However, they are trainers and not insulated winter boots.
Can I wear these for skateboarding?
Yes, the Jameson series is known for its skate-friendly features like the durable rubber outsole and supportive insole. The HTW model offers added warmth for cooler skate sessions.
What is the best way to clean these trainers?
Clean the upper with a damp cloth or soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Do not machine wash.
What size do these trainers come in?
This specific listing is for UK size 11. The Etnies Jameson HTW series is available in a range of adult sizes.
Do they have good grip on wet surfaces?
Yes, the 400NBS rubber outsole with a reverse lug tread is designed to provide excellent traction on various surfaces, including wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel cold in damp conditions.
Ensure socks are dry and consider adding a warmer insole if more insulation is needed. Check if the water-resistant treatment is still effective.
Traction is reduced on slippery surfaces.
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris. For icy conditions, consider alternative footwear with more aggressive tread patterns.
Shoes feel slightly tight.
Wear them with thinner socks initially. The Foam Lite 2 insole may compress slightly over time, offering more comfort. Ensure the laces are adjusted properly.
Water seeping through the upper.
The water-resistant treatment may have worn off. Consider applying a suitable footwear waterproofing spray. For heavy water exposure, these are not fully waterproof.
