FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
No, the Timberland Union Wharf 2.0 EK+ is designed as a casual shoe for everyday comfort and light activities, not for high-impact sports like running.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as it can damage the materials and construction. Please refer to the care instructions for gentle cleaning methods.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these shoes are not inherently waterproof. While they offer breathability, they are not designed for wet conditions. You may consider using a fabric protector spray for light water resistance.
What does 'EK+' stand for?
'EK+' in Timberland products often refers to 'Earthkeepers,' signifying a commitment to using eco-conscious materials and sustainable practices in their manufacturing.
How do I ensure the correct size?
The product is listed in UK adult male sizing. For the best fit, we recommend referring to Timberland's official size guide, as individual fit preferences can vary.
What is Refibra technology?
Refibra technology involves upcycling cotton scraps into cotton pulp, which is then combined with wood pulp to produce Tencel Lyocell fibers. This process helps to reduce waste and use fewer virgin resources.
Are these shoes good for people with sweaty feet?
Yes, the mesh lining and breathable Tencel Lyocell upper are specifically designed to enhance ventilation, helping to keep feet cool and dry and reduce sweat buildup.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel uncomfortably warm or sweaty
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks made of breathable materials. The mesh lining is designed for ventilation, so check that it's not obstructed by thick socks or debris. Allow shoes to air out completely between wears.
Shoe comfort or support seems to decrease over time
The EVA insole provides cushioning which can compress with extended use. While designed for durability, if comfort significantly diminishes, consider replacing the original insole with a new pair of cushioned insoles for renewed support.
Noticeable odor despite breathable design
Even with odor-preventing features, persistent moisture can lead to odors. Ensure shoes are thoroughly air-dried after each use. You can also use shoe deodorizers, baking soda sachets, or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and neutralize smells.
Upper material appears dirty or stained
Gently clean the Tencel Lyocell upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water and dab gently. Blot dry and allow to air dry completely. Avoid scrubbing vigorously.
