FAQs

Are the Vans SK8-HI Mte-1 shoes waterproof?

The MTE-1 technology enhances weather resistance, providing comfort in cool and damp conditions, but they are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or snow, additional waterproofing measures may be necessary.

What is the main advantage of the MTE-1 technology?

MTE-1 technology integrates features like thermal insulation and improved traction to provide comfort and performance in a wider range of weather conditions.

How do I clean the grey leather upper?

Wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Can these shoes be used for professional skateboarding?

While designed with skateboarding in mind and offering good support and durability, they are primarily marketed for casual skateboarding and everyday wear. For extreme skateboarding, specialized performance shoes might be preferred.

What sizes are available?

These shoes are available in various adult unisex sizes. Please refer to the sizing chart for specific UK and other international conversions.

How long is the break-in period for these shoes?

The break-in period can vary for individuals. Typically, it may take a few wears of a few hours each to achieve optimal comfort.

Troubleshooting

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For sustained performance in wet conditions, consider applying a suitable waterproofing treatment to the leather upper.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a leather conditioner to moisturize the material. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners.

Discomfort around the ankle

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
