FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The MTE-1 designation suggests enhanced weather resistance for comfort in varied conditions, but they are not fully waterproof. They offer some protection against light moisture but are not designed for heavy rain or submersion.

What is the MTE-1 technology?

MTE-1 (Made for the Elements) is Vans' range of weather-ready footwear. It typically includes features for comfort and traction in colder or wetter conditions, such as improved insulation and grip patterns.

Can these be used for professional skateboarding?

While they have skateboarding heritage and are durable for casual skating, the SK8-HI Mte-1 is primarily designed for comfort and style in everyday wear. For professional-level skateboarding, specialized performance shoes may be more appropriate.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the Vans size chart for accurate measurements. The shoes should fit snugly but comfortably, with enough room in the toe box without being loose.

What is the warranty on these shoes?

Warranty information can vary. Please refer to the retailer's or Vans' official website for the most current warranty details applicable to your region.

Are these shoes suitable for winter wear?

The MTE-1 features offer some insulation and improved traction, making them more suitable for cooler weather than standard trainers. However, they are not winter boots and may not provide sufficient warmth or protection in very cold or snowy conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to break in. Ensure you have the correct size by checking the size guide.

Tread wear on the sole

This is normal with regular use, especially with skateboarding. For extensive wear, consider a professional shoe repair for sole replacement if available.

Slight discoloration on grey fabric

Attempt to spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow to air dry.
