FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The MTE series is designed to handle the elements better than standard shoes, but they are not fully waterproof.

How do I determine my size?

These follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual size, keeping in mind the supportive construction may have a snugger initial fit.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

Machine washing is not recommended as it can compromise the materials and structural adhesives.

Is the sage green colorway suitable for all seasons?

Yes, the sage green is a versatile, muted tone that works well as a neutral across all seasons.

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

The MTE version features enhanced materials for better durability and weather protection compared to the standard canvas Old Skool.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or pressure points

Ensure the laces are adjusted for your arch type and consider using a thin aftermarket insole if additional arch support is required.

Visible dirt or marks on the upper

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. For tougher spots, use a dedicated sneaker cleaner safe for synthetic materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are designed for a standard adult fit. To maintain their appearance, wipe them down regularly with a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and water solution on a damp cloth, avoiding immersion in water which can affect the structural integrity of the MTE components. Ensure you allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp or damage the adhesive and upper materials.
