FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for professional skateboarding?
The Vans Knu Skool Mtlr trainers are designed for lifestyle wear and casual skateboarding. For professional or intensive skateboarding, dedicated performance skate shoes might offer more specialized support and durability.
How do I clean the metallic leather?
Gently wipe the metallic leather with a soft, dry cloth. For minor dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and test any leather cleaning products on a small, hidden area first.
What is the main difference between Knu Skool Mtlr and other Vans models?
The Knu Skool Mtlr distinguishes itself with its metallic leather finish, offering a more distinctive aesthetic compared to standard models, while maintaining the classic Vans silhouette and construction.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material and prevent discomfort.
How should I store my Vans Knu Skool Mtlr trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in their original box or a dust bag can protect them from dust and damage.
What size should I choose if I'm between UK sizes?
Vans generally offer a consistent fit. If you are between sizes, consider your typical preference: a snugger fit might suggest sizing down, while a looser fit might require sizing up. Trying them on is the best approach if possible.
Troubleshooting
Laces become dirty
Remove laces and wash them by hand with mild soap and water. Allow to dry completely before re-lacing.
Metallic finish losing shine
Gently buff the metallic surface with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for metallic finishes, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Slight squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try placing a small powder insert or a thin sock liner to reduce friction. Ensure the insoles are properly seated.
