FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
No, the Etnies Jefferson MTW features a water-resistant treated upper, which repels light moisture. They are not designed for submersion or heavy rain conditions.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended, applied sparingly and tested on a small area first. Avoid using excessive water.
What is the primary benefit of the 3M Thinsulate lining?
The 3M Thinsulate lining provides enhanced insulation, keeping your feet warmer in colder weather conditions.
Can these trainers be used for intense skateboarding?
While durable, they are primarily designed for casual wear and light outdoor activities. For intense skateboarding, dedicated skate shoes with specific durability features might be more suitable.
What kind of traction does the outsole offer?
The 400NBS rubber outsole features a reverse lug tread, designed to provide excellent grip and stability on a variety of surfaces, including wet ones.
How does the aluminium stroble board contribute to comfort?
The aluminium stroble board is part of the shoe's construction that helps with thermal heat retention, adding an extra layer of warmth and contributing to overall comfort in cooler weather.
What does 'gusseted tongue' mean for the fit?
A gusseted tongue is attached to the sides of the shoe, which helps to keep debris out and provides a more secure, snug fit around the foot.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. Wearing thicker socks initially might help stretch the material slightly. Ensure you have the correct size.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole to remove any mud or debris that might be clogging the tread. Ensure the water-resistant treatment on the upper is still effective; reapply protector spray if necessary.
Suede upper appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to clean dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner sparingly and follow product instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Feet feel cold in very low temperatures
While insulated, these trainers are not designed for extreme cold. Consider wearing warmer socks or opt for a more heavily insulated boot for such conditions.
