Full details

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for heavy rain?
The Etnies Jameson HTW Trainers have a water-resistant treated upper, which is suitable for light rain or damp conditions. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, additional waterproofing treatment may be necessary.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used carefully. Always allow them to air dry completely.
What is the main advantage of the Thinsulate lining?
The 3M Thinsulate lining provides excellent insulation, trapping air to keep your feet warm in colder temperatures while remaining lightweight.
Can I wear these for actual skateboarding?
Yes, the Jameson series is inspired by skate shoes, featuring a durable outsole and a design suitable for skateboarding. The HTW features add weather protection for cooler conditions.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
For optimal warmth and comfort, especially in cooler weather, consider wearing wool or thermal blend socks. Ensure socks are dry before wearing.
How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?
Reapply waterproofing treatment periodically, especially after cleaning or significant exposure to moisture. Check the product's care instructions for specific recommendations.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel cold in colder weather.
Ensure socks are dry and consider wearing warmer, thicker socks. The Thinsulate lining is effective for moderate cold; for extreme temperatures, additional insulation may be needed.
Shoes are getting wet inside.
The water resistance is for light moisture. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wetness, reapply waterproofing treatment. Ensure the gusseted tongue is properly seated to prevent water entry.
Traction seems reduced on slippery surfaces.
Clean the outsole to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be affecting grip. The reverse lug tread is designed for traction, but extreme conditions like ice may still pose a challenge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. They are designed for casual wear, light athletic activities, and skateboarding. They pair well with jeans, casual trousers, and athletic wear.
Care:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher spots, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Water Resistance: To maintain water resistance, periodically apply a suede-specific waterproofing spray. Reapply as needed, especially after cleaning or significant exposure to moisture.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires, which can damage the materials.
