Product Information
Full details
The Vans Old Skool MTE trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of classic skate-inspired aesthetics and rugged, weather-resistant durability. These trainers are ideal for everyday urban wear and casual outings, offering a signature checkered pattern in a unique green colorway that sets them apart from standard footwear. While they provide excellent style and structural support, users should note that as part of the MTE series, they are built with sturdier materials which may require a brief break-in period compared to lighter canvas sneakers.

FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The MTE series features enhanced construction intended to handle light moisture better than standard sneakers, but they are not fully waterproof.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adult footwear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is strongly recommended to hand-clean them, as machine washing can damage the structural integrity and adhesive bond of the materials.
What is the difference between standard Old Skool and MTE?
The MTE (Mountain Edition) versions are built with upgraded, more durable materials to provide increased longevity and better performance in varying weather.
Are these suitable for skateboarding?
While they share the aesthetic of skate shoes, the MTE series is primarily designed as a lifestyle and durable everyday trainer.
How do I maintain the green color?
Keep the shoes out of direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use, as intense UV exposure can fade the vibrant colors over time.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The MTE series uses more durable, rigid materials. Wear them for short durations indoors for a few days to allow the upper to conform to your foot.
Surface dirt on the fabric
Use a dry, soft brush to gently flick away dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could discolor the green checkered pattern.
Insole comfort concerns
Ensure the original insole is correctly seated. If additional arch support is needed, the existing insoles are generally removable to accommodate orthotics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure you select your standard UK shoe size as these trainers are designed to follow standard sizing conventions. When wearing them for the first time, allow a few days for the materials to soften to your foot's unique shape. To keep them looking fresh, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris. For spot cleaning, use a mild soap and a damp cloth, followed by air drying in a cool, shaded area. Always store your trainers in a dry place, ideally using shoe trees to help maintain the structure of the toe box.
