FAQs
How do I clean my Timberland Union Wharf 2.0 EK+ shoes?
Gently spot clean with a soft brush or cloth, mild soap, and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Timberland Union Wharf 2.0 EK+ shoes are not waterproof. Their design prioritizes breathability, making them suitable for dry, warm weather conditions rather than wet environments.
What does 'EK+' stand for?
'EK+' denotes Earthkeepers+, which signifies Timberland's commitment to using environmentally conscious materials and sustainable practices in the production of the shoe.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the materials, structure, and bonding. Always hand clean and air dry.
What are Tencel Lyocell fibers and Refibra technology?
Tencel Lyocell fibers are derived from sustainably sourced wood pulp, known for their softness, strength, and breathability. Refibra technology takes this a step further by blending Tencel Lyocell with upcycled cotton scraps, creating an even more eco-conscious and durable material for the shoe's upper.
Are these shoes suitable for running or hiking?
The Union Wharf 2.0 EK+ shoes are designed for casual wear, light walking, and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they are not intended for high-impact activities like running or rugged hiking.
Troubleshooting
Shoes develop a mild odor over time.
While the mesh lining aids ventilation, persistent odor can occur. Ensure shoes are aired out after each wear. Use foot powder or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and odors. Consider using cedar shoe trees to help absorb moisture.
Stains appear on the Tencel Lyocell upper.
For most stains, use a soft brush or cloth with a small amount of mild, diluted soap and cool water. Gently dab and wipe the stain, avoiding harsh scrubbing which can damage the fibers. Blot dry with a clean cloth and air dry completely. For stubborn stains, specialized fabric shoe cleaners might be necessary, but always patch test first.
The shoe feels less supportive or comfortable after extended use.
The EVA insole provides excellent initial cushioning. Over time, all insoles compress. If the support diminishes, you might consider replacing the original insoles with aftermarket orthotic insoles designed for cushioning and support, ensuring they fit correctly within the shoe.
