FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

The Vans SK8-HI Mte-1 are designed for casual skateboarding and general wear. While durable, they may not offer the specialized features or extreme durability required for professional-level skateboarding.

What is the MTE-1 designation?

MTE-1 stands for 'Made for the Elements - 1', indicating that these shoes incorporate features designed to provide a degree of comfort and protection in various weather conditions, enhancing their versatility beyond typical casual shoes.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Vans. These shoes are unisex, and the sizing typically corresponds to UK adult foot sizes. Measure your foot from heel to toe to find the best match.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials and construction. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from leather, providing durability and a classic look.

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the MTE-1 features offer some resistance to the elements, these shoes are not fully waterproof. They are designed to handle light moisture and provide comfort in varied conditions but should not be submerged in water.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Wear the shoes with thicker socks for a short period to help them stretch. Alternatively, consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness is significant.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris. For added grip on specific surfaces, consider using a sole protector or visiting a cobbler for specialized treatments.

Leather upper shows scuffs or marks

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a mild soap. For deeper scuffs, a leather conditioner or repair kit might be necessary. Regular conditioning helps maintain the leather's appearance.
