Vans Mte Old Skool Waterproof Insulated - Black/White - Low Shoes - UK 6

These shoes are designed for lifestyle and casual wear with added weather resistance. They are not intended for technical hiking or rugged terrain, which require specialized hiking boots.

Gently brush off loose dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth. For the best results, use products specifically designed for cleaning leather footwear.

The shoes feature waterproof construction to protect against moisture. However, prolonged submersion or extremely heavy downpours might test their limits. They are best suited for resisting rain, puddles, and damp conditions.

MTE (Made for the Elements) technology in these shoes provides enhanced protection against the weather, including waterproofing and insulation, making them more comfortable in adverse conditions.

The insulation and waterproofing make them suitable for light snow and cold weather. However, they do not provide the same level of warmth or traction as dedicated snow boots.

The upper material is primarily leather.

Vans typically run true to size. It is recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible for the best fit.

Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in period.

While designed for water resistance, extreme submersion or prolonged exposure to heavy rain might lead to some seepage. Ensure all laces are tied securely and consider applying a leather waterproofer.

The sole provides good traction for general use. For extremely slick surfaces like ice, consider alternative footwear with specialized traction.

Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
