Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or stiff
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to break in. Trying different sock thicknesses can also adjust the fit. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free from excessive dirt or debris. For initial use, the grip may improve after a short break-in period on skateboard grip tape or concrete.
Materials show signs of wear quickly
The shoe is designed for durability, but aggressive skateboarding can accelerate wear. Inspect for specific points of friction. Proper cleaning and care can help maintain the material's integrity.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace with a durable set of skate laces. Consider waxing the laces for increased longevity and reduced slippage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Etnies Jefferson MTW requires no specific setup. Upon receiving the shoes, it is recommended to try them on to ensure a proper fit. Some users may prefer to wear them with thin or medium-thickness socks depending on personal preference and intended use.
Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for skateboarding and general casual wear. They are compatible with most types of skateboards and protective gear. For activities other than skateboarding, they function as comfortable and durable casual footwear. They are not designed for highly technical athletic pursuits such as running or hiking.
Care:
- Cleaning: To clean the shoes, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can cause the materials to shrink or become brittle.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
