FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy rain?
The Etnies Jefferson MTW trainers feature a water-resistant treated upper, which helps repel moisture and keep feet dry in damp conditions or light rain. However, they are not fully waterproof and may not be suitable for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion.
How does the Thinsulate lining keep my feet warm?
3M Thinsulate lining is a synthetic insulation known for its warmth and breathability. It works by trapping air molecules, which provides an insulating layer to retain body heat and keep your feet warm in cold environments.
What makes the outsole suitable for skateboarding?
The 400NBS rubber outsole features a reverse lug tread pattern. This design is specifically engineered to provide enhanced grip and durability, offering stability and control when skateboarding, especially on varied or potentially slippery surfaces.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the Foam Lite 1 insole is designed to be removable, allowing for easier cleaning or replacement if desired.
What is the purpose of the gusseted tongue?
A gusseted tongue is attached to the sides of the shoe, forming a barrier that helps prevent dirt, debris, and moisture from entering the shoe. It also contributes to a more secure and comfortable fit.
Are these shoes heavy?
While designed for durability and warmth, the Etnies Jefferson MTW trainers aim for a balance of protection and wearability. Specific weight details are not provided, but they are constructed with materials intended for performance without excessive bulk.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel cold despite insulation.
Ensure socks are dry and made of appropriate material for cold weather. Check that laces are tightened adequately to prevent heat loss and that the gusseted tongue is sealed.
Traction is poor on a specific surface.
The reverse lug tread is designed for general grip; very smooth or exceptionally slick surfaces may still pose challenges. Clean the outsole of any mud or debris that might be impeding traction.
Water is seeping into the shoes.
While treated for water resistance, the upper is not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion, water may eventually penetrate. Ensure laces are tied securely to minimize entry points around the ankle.
Discomfort after extended wear.
Ensure the shoes are properly broken in. The Foam Lite 1 insole provides cushioning, but individual foot shape can affect comfort. Consider trying different sock thicknesses or adjusting lace tightness.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe down the water-resistant treated upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive soaking.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush to remove dirt from the outsole tread. For stubborn grime, a damp cloth can be used.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials.
- Insoles: The Foam Lite 1 insole can be removed for separate cleaning if necessary. Hand wash gently and allow to dry completely before reinserting.
