FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While durable, these are lifestyle trainers and are not intended for high-impact running or athletic performance training.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the construction and adhesives. We recommend hand cleaning with a mild soap solution.
Are these true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing for adult men. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to see which fits your specific foot width best.
What is the MTE series?
The Mountain Edition (MTE) series from Vans typically features reinforced materials and construction to provide extra durability compared to the standard lifestyle range.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The MTE construction provides increased durability, but they are not marketed as fully waterproof footwear.
Troubleshooting
Stiff fit during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods at home to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape naturally.
Surface dirt accumulation
Use a dry, soft brush to gently knock off dust after each use to prevent dirt from embedding into the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans MTE Authentic Reissue 44 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes are sized for an adult male fit. Ensure you verify your UK foot size before purchase.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or debris from the upper. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a cloth; avoid machine washing, which can compromise the glue and material integrity.
- Air Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause the materials to warp or fade.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape and material quality over time.
