FAQs

Are these trainers waterproof?

The 'MTE' in the name often indicates Mountain Edition features, which can include enhanced weather resistance. However, these are primarily lifestyle trainers and not fully waterproof boots. They offer good protection against light rain and splashes but are not intended for submersion.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper material is primarily leather, offering durability and a classic aesthetic.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing guide and your standard UK shoe size. This model is unisex, so ensure you consult a unisex sizing chart if available.

Can I wear these in the winter?

These trainers can be worn in milder winter conditions due to their durable construction and high-top design. For heavy snow or extreme cold, more specialized winter footwear is recommended.

What is the warranty on these trainers?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please check with the point of purchase for details on warranty duration and coverage.

Are they suitable for long walks?

While comfortable for everyday wear and moderate walking, they may not provide the advanced cushioning or support needed for very long-distance walking or hiking compared to specialized walking shoes.

How do I clean the white rubber sole?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a specialized sneaker cleaner. A magic eraser can also be effective for stubborn marks on the rubber.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Ensure you have correctly measured your foot according to standard UK sizing. Consider trying on a similar Vans model in-store if possible, or refer to detailed sizing charts. Remember that leather can stretch slightly with wear.

Leather creasing excessively

Some creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.

Dirt and scuffs on leather

Gently clean with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush or cloth. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup. Simply remove them from the packaging and wear.

Compatibility: The Vans MTE Sk8-Hi trainers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear, compatible with everyday outfits like jeans, shorts, and casual trousers.

Care: To maintain the leather and overall appearance:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner sparingly.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat if they become wet. Avoid machine drying.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to help repel water and stains, especially if exposed to light moisture.
