FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Etnies Jefferson MTW are designed for durability and can handle some moisture, but they are not fully waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light dampness, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect them.

What makes these shoes sustainable?

Etnies is committed to sustainability and has planted over 2.3 million trees. This specific product line contributes to that effort, reflecting a broader company mission to reduce environmental impact.

How do I know if I'm ordering the correct UK size?

Refer to standard UK men's shoe sizing charts. If you are between sizes or prefer more room, consider sizing up. Checking customer reviews for fit feedback can also be helpful.

Can these trainers be used for running?

While comfortable for walking, these trainers are primarily designed for skateboarding and casual wear. They may not offer the specific support or cushioning required for serious running activities.

What is the warranty period for Etnies shoes?

Etnies typically offers a manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Specific warranty details can usually be found on the official Etnies website or the product packaging.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Jefferson MTW generally has a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it's advisable to check reviews or consult with a retailer for specific fit information related to width.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel slightly tight upon first wear.

This is common with new trainers. Wear them for short periods initially, and they should conform to your foot shape. Using thicker socks can help stretch them slightly during the break-in period.

Soles show signs of excessive wear after a short period.

Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended purpose (skateboarding/casual wear). Check if the griptape on your skateboard is unusually abrasive or if you are performing actions that cause excessive friction.

Discoloration of the 'Blue' secondary color.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors. Clean with a damp cloth rather than harsh cleaning agents that could affect the dye.
