FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter weather?

While the MTE series features improved durability and elements, they are designed as casual trainers and not as technical winter boots.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is generally not recommended to machine wash Vans as the agitation and heat can damage the glue and fabric. Stick to manual spot cleaning.

Do these come in other sizes?

Yes, the Vans Old Skool MTE range is available in a variety of UK sizes, ranging from 5 up to 12.

Are these sneakers narrow or wide fitting?

The Old Skool series typically follows a standard fit, but the materials will naturally adjust slightly to your foot shape over time.

What is the primary difference between standard Old Skool and MTE?

The MTE series is specifically updated with more versatile, durable materials and construction compared to the original, which was primarily a skateboarding shoe.

Troubleshooting

The trainers feel stiff when first worn

Vans shoes often require a short 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the materials to soften to your foot shape.

Surface dirt on the fabric

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild soapy water mix applied with a cloth or soft brush, then air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Vans Old Skool MTE trainers maintain their appearance, follow these care steps:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or debris from the upper.
  2. Spot Cleaning: If the fabric gets stained, gently clean the affected area with mild detergent and water, taking care not to soak the materials excessively.
  3. Drying: Always air-dry your shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the material or melt the glue.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and color fading.
  5. Fit: These trainers are available in various UK adult sizes; ensure you verify your correct size before use, as proper fit is essential for the comfort of the Old Skool construction.
