Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the MTE series generally aims for higher durability, these are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for casual, dry, or light-weather use.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though it is recommended to check the specific UK size for your foot measurement.
Can I use these for professional skateboarding?
Yes, they are designed with skateboarding in mind and feature reinforced construction to handle the wear and tear of board sports.
How do I best clean the white rubber sole?
A magic eraser or a mixture of baking soda and water applied with an old toothbrush works wonders on the rubber side walls.
Are these suitable for people with wide feet?
The Authentic silhouette is relatively narrow. If you have very wide feet, you may find the fit restrictive and might benefit from going up a half size.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear
Wear them indoors for short periods with thick socks to gently stretch the canvas material.
Canvas becoming dusty or grayed
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to remove dust and a suede/fabric cleaner for deeper stains.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure they are double-knotted or replace with slightly longer cotton laces for a more secure hold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Vans MTE Authentic Reissue 44s, ensure the fit is snug but comfortable; like all canvas-based sneakers, they may stretch slightly over time. For compatibility, they pair effortlessly with jeans, chinos, or skate shorts.
To keep them in top shape:
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft brush or a damp cloth.
- Avoid Immersion: Do not machine wash or fully submerge the shoes in water as this can degrade the adhesives.
- Deodorizing: Use a shoe-specific antibacterial spray if odors develop from daily wear.
- Air Dry: If they become damp, always air dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
