Product Information

Full details

The Vans Old Skool MTE Trainers are designed for adult men who value a balance between timeless skate-inspired aesthetics and enhanced durability. Featuring the brand's signature checkered pattern in a distinct sage green colorway, these shoes provide reliable comfort for everyday urban wear and casual outings. While they offer superior construction compared to standard models, users should note that the MTE series is specifically engineered for rugged conditions, which may feel slightly more substantial and stiffer during the initial break-in period.

FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the MTE series is built to be more weather-resistant than standard trainers, they are not fully waterproof.

Do these fit true to size?

Yes, these generally follow standard Vans adult sizing. If you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider a half-size up.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended, as machine washing can damage the structural integrity and adhesive bond of the shoes.

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

The MTE (Mountain Edition) series features enhanced materials and improved outsoles for better durability and grip compared to the classic Old Skool.

How do I ensure the color stays vibrant?

Avoid leaving the shoes in direct sunlight for long periods, as UV rays can cause the sage green tone to fade.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear

This is normal for MTE construction; wear them for a few hours at a time around the house to speed up the break-in process.

Visible dirt on the checkered pattern

Use a damp sponge with a tiny amount of gentle detergent and lightly dab the affected area, then air dry away from heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Vans Old Skool MTE Trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in: Wear them for short periods initially to allow the durable upper materials to contour to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and cold water solution on a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes fully.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the green color from fading over time.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers pair best with casual trousers, denim, or chinos, matching the versatile nature of the checkered pattern.
