Vans MTE Old Skool Waterproof Insulated - Black - Low Shoes - UK 10

The Vans MTE Old Skool Waterproof Insulated shoes are designed with water-resistant materials and construction to protect against wet weather. They are suitable for rain and damp conditions but are not intended for submersion or prolonged exposure to very heavy downpours.

Refer to the size guide provided by Vans. These are designed as low shoes for adult foot sizes. Wearing them with standard socks is recommended for the intended fit.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, construction, and waterproofing of the shoes.

For comfort and to manage moisture, especially in colder weather, consider wearing wool or synthetic blend socks designed for active or outdoor wear. Avoid 100% cotton socks, which can retain moisture.

Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing.

The MTE Old Skool Waterproof Insulated models feature enhanced weather resistance, including waterproofing and insulation, specifically designed to keep feet dry and warm in colder, wetter conditions. Regular Old Skool models typically do not have these features.

As low shoes, they provide standard ankle support typical for this style. They are not designed with high-top ankle support features.

Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing. Allow them to air dry thoroughly after exposure to moisture. Check if the waterproofing is compromised or if there's a build-up of sweat, which can be reduced by wearing appropriate socks.

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap and water solution. For deep scuffs, a leather conditioner or cream in a matching color might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

While designed for traction, extremely slippery surfaces can still pose a risk. Ensure the sole is clean from mud or debris. The grip may diminish over time with significant wear; consider replacement if the tread is significantly worn down.

Inspect the seams for any damage. Minor seepage might occur after prolonged exposure or if seams are stressed. For significant issues, contact customer support. Periodic re-application of seam sealant may help maintain water resistance.
