FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof or water-resistant?

These shoes feature waterproof construction, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions. However, prolonged submersion may eventually lead to water ingress.

What temperature range are the insulation features designed for?

The insulation is intended for cooler weather, providing warmth during autumn and mild winter conditions. They are not designed for extreme sub-zero temperatures.

Can I wear these for hiking on trails?

While they offer some protection, these shoes are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and urban environments. For rugged trails or extended hiking, specialized hiking footwear is recommended.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to Vans' official sizing chart and consider your typical shoe size in UK fittings. If between sizes, it is often recommended to size up for a comfortable fit with thicker socks.

What is the difference between these and standard Old Skool shoes?

The MTE Old Skool Waterproof Insulated versions include enhanced features like waterproofing and insulation, making them more suitable for adverse weather conditions compared to the standard model.

How often should I reapply waterproofing spray?

It is recommended to reapply waterproofing spray every few months, or more frequently if the shoes are regularly exposed to wet conditions or show signs of diminished water repellency.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through seams

Ensure all seams are intact. Reapply waterproofing spray to the entire shoe, paying attention to stitched areas.

Reduced warmth or insulation effectiveness

Check if the inner lining is damp or compressed. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing. Consider wearing appropriate insulating socks.

Leather becoming stiff or cracked

Apply a leather conditioner regularly to keep the material supple. Avoid excessive exposure to extreme heat or dryness.

Soles showing wear

Rotate footwear to reduce strain on the soles. For significant wear, consult a shoe repair specialist for potential sole replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. They pair well with a variety of casual attire.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For stubborn stains, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  2. Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically apply a leather waterproofing spray to maintain the water-resistant properties of the shoe. Ensure the product is suitable for treated leather.
  3. Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the leather and waterproofing.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a shoe bag to protect them from dust.
