FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?

No, high heat can damage the adhesives and synthetic materials. Always air dry your trainers.
Is the checkered pattern printed or woven?
The iconic checkerboard pattern is integrated into the material construction for a lasting visual finish.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
This is normal for MTE models; wear them for short durations indoors to break in the materials before extended use.
Surface dirt accumulation
Use a dry soft brush to gently remove surface debris before it settles into the fabric weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you receive your shoes, ensure you verify the size against your standard UK foot measurement. The Old Skool MTE typically fits true to size, but wearing the specific weight of sock you intend to use daily during your first wear will ensure an accurate fit. To maintain the integrity of the materials, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or mud. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth to spot-clean the affected areas, then allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
