FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Mte-1 series offers enhanced weather resistance for comfort in various conditions, but they are not fully waterproof. They provide good protection against light rain and dampness.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Vans. These are unisex trainers, so consult the UK sizing guide. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and the construction of the shoe. Hand-cleaning with appropriate materials is advised.

What does 'Mte-1' signify?

Mte-1 stands for Mountain Edition, indicating that the shoe is designed with features for improved comfort and performance in colder, wetter weather conditions.

Are these suitable for professional skateboarding?

While they offer durability and grip suitable for recreational skateboarding, professional skateboarders may prefer models specifically designed for advanced technical skating.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and potential damage.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in phase.

Leather appears dry or scuffed

Apply a leather conditioner regularly to keep the material supple. Use a leather eraser or appropriate polish for minor scuffs.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. For increased traction on slick surfaces, consider using an aftermarket traction spray, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
