*Note: This post contains affiliate links and we could receive a commission if you were to buy these shoes. We would never recommend a product we aren’t completely stoked on. In fact, I have this exact pair of these shoes on right now!

If you live anywhere that gets snow or ice, you know that having the right shoes can make a big difference between being cold, wet feet and a slip or two landing you on your ass and being warm, dry and not feeling the pain. Although Etnies are based in sunny southern California, they still have love for those of us who aren’t so fortunate to get that year round sunshine. That is why they cooked up the Jameson MTW shoes to help make it a little more bearable.

The Jameson MTW is based off the classic and ever popular Jameson shoe, but it has a few features that make them better suited for some cold, wet ice and snow. The Jameson MTW starts out with a Suede upper that has an STI Repel waterproofing coat to help resist moisture, a gusseted tongue with wide tongue straps to help keep the inside dry and comfortable, and an insulated quick dry layer to help keep your feet warm. You can find the Foam Lite 1 insole to help keep your feet comfy and protected from impacts and cupsole outsole with these heavier duty reverse geo-hex lug tread on the bottom to give you that extra traction when things get slick.

The Jameson MTW is available in Black and Grey, Navy Brown and white, and Tan color options in sizes 7-12 with a price tag of $64.99 – $84.99 (Depending on color choice) through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Etnies worldwide or direct from the ETNIES WEBSTORE.

They’ve given the shoe a gum bumper on the front while keeping the rest of the outsole white for a unique look that turned out awesome.

The Old Skool is Vans classic shoe that was the first to have the iconic sidestripe that everyone recognizes and has been apart of their line up longer than most of you reading this have been around.

You can find padded collars around the ankle for support, comfort and flexibility and the classic waffle pattern on the bottom for plenty of grip on the pedals.
