Product Information

Full details

The Etnies Jameson 2 Eco skate shoes are designed for adult male skateboarders seeking a blend of classic skate aesthetics and sustainable materials. The key benefit is their eco-friendly construction using recycled plastics and rubber, offering durable performance with cushioned comfort. A potential caveat is that the 'faux vulc' construction might offer a different feel than traditional vulcanized soles for some riders. These shoes feature a vegan-friendly design, a recycled rubber outsole, and an STI Foam Lite 1 insole for enhanced comfort.

FAQs

Are these shoes truly vegan?

Yes, the Etnies Jameson 2 Eco is made using vegan-friendly materials, meaning no animal products are used in their construction.

What does 'Faux Vulc' mean?

'Faux Vulc' refers to a cupsole construction that mimics the aesthetic of a vulcanized sole but is built differently. It aims to provide the durability of a cupsole with a look often associated with vulcanized shoes.

How do the recycled materials impact performance?

The use of recycled rubber and plastics is integrated into the design to maintain performance and durability. The 20% recycled rubber outsole provides traction, and the overall construction is designed for skateboarding.

What is the STI Foam Lite 1 insole?

It's a type of insole made from recycled, open-cell PU foam. It's designed to provide cushioning and comfort for your feet during skating and everyday wear.

How does purchasing these shoes contribute to environmental causes?

Etnies is committed to planting trees, and by purchasing products from their eco-conscious lines, you are supporting these initiatives. They have planted over 2.3 million trees to date.

What is the difference between this and other Jameson models?

The 'Eco' designation signifies this model's focus on using recycled and vegan-friendly materials. Other Jameson models may use different material compositions.

Troubleshooting

Soles wearing out quickly

While durable, aggressive skateboarding will eventually wear down any sole. Ensure proper skating technique to maximize lifespan. The shoes are made with 20% recycled rubber, which may have different wear characteristics than virgin rubber.

Insole feels too firm or too soft

The STI Foam Lite 1 insole provides a balance of cushioning and board feel. If you prefer a different feel, consider replacing the insole with an aftermarket option that suits your preference.

Canvas upper getting stained

For waxed canvas, use a damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid harsh detergents. For stubborn stains, consult specific guides for cleaning waxed fabrics.
