Full details
The Etnies Jefferson MTW Trainers in Brown/Blue/Gum, size UK 8.5, are designed for adult males seeking durable and stylish footwear for urban and natural environments. Their key benefit lies in robust construction built to withstand tough conditions. A potential consideration is that their specific design might cater more towards skateboarding and related activities, which may influence comfort for non-skate use cases. This model emphasizes durability, sustainability through tree planting initiatives, and a heritage rooted in skateboarding culture, all crafted with design input from California.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for winter weather?
The Jefferson MTW line often includes winterized versions designed for colder conditions. For the standard Jefferson MTW, they offer good durability but may not provide significant insulation or waterproofing for harsh winter elements.
How does Etnies' sustainability initiative work?
Etnies partners with organizations to plant trees for every purchase. To date, they have planted over 2.3 million trees, contributing to environmental restoration efforts.
What is the best way to clean the suede parts of the shoes?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully. Always allow suede to air dry.
Where are these shoes designed and manufactured?
The shoes are designed in Lake Forest, California. Manufacturing locations can vary, but the design and quality standards are overseen from their California base.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Etnies and compare it with your UK foot measurement. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit, allowing minimal heel slippage.
What is the main difference between the Jefferson and Jefferson MTW models?
The 'MTW' typically stands for 'Mid Top Weatherized,' indicating enhanced features for durability and potentially weather resistance, often with a slightly different silhouette or construction compared to the standard Jefferson model.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the shoe to see if it subsides. If persistent, check for any loose stitching or debris trapped in the sole.
Laces wear out quickly
Consider replacing the standard laces with more durable, waxed laces designed for athletic footwear. Ensure laces are not overtightened, which can cause unnecessary stress.
Discoloration of the sole
Some natural materials or manufacturing processes can lead to minor discoloration over time, especially on the 'gum' sole components. This is typically cosmetic and does not affect performance. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth can help maintain appearance.

Care Instructions: To maintain the durability and appearance of your Etnies Jefferson MTW trainers, we recommend the following:
