FAQs

Are these shoes fully waterproof?

The Vans MTE Old Skool Waterproof Insulated shoes are designed with water-resistant materials and construction to offer protection against wet conditions. However, they are not submersible and prolonged exposure to heavy rain or deep water may eventually lead to moisture ingress.

What is the main benefit of the MTE series?

The MTE (Made for the Elements) series by Vans focuses on enhancing footwear with features like insulation and weather-resistant materials to provide comfort and protection in various weather conditions.

Can I wear these for hiking?

These shoes are primarily designed for lifestyle use. While they can handle light trails and damp conditions due to their waterproofing and traction, they are not engineered for strenuous hiking or rugged outdoor activities.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Wipe the leather with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For best results and to maintain water resistance, allow them to air dry and consider using a leather protector spray.

What is the difference between MTE Old Skool and regular Old Skool?

The MTE versions incorporate features like insulation and water-resistant treatments to enhance performance in colder or wetter weather, whereas the standard Old Skool models are typically for everyday, milder conditions.

Do these shoes come in different sizes?

Yes, Vans MTE Old Skool shoes are available in various adult sizes. Please check the product listing or retailer for specific size availability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff initially.

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your feet.

Water seeping through seams.

While designed for water resistance, prolonged immersion or heavy downpours may lead to some seepage. Ensure laces are tied securely and consider applying a waterproofing treatment to seams.

Reduced insulation effectiveness.

Ensure the inner lining is dry. Moisture can reduce the insulating properties. If the insulation appears compressed, gentle reshaping may help.
