FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The MTE line features enhanced durability, but they are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for light weather conditions.
Can I wear these for skateboarding?
While durable, these are part of the MTE lifestyle series. While they can handle casual use, consider specialized Pro-series models if you require heavy-duty impact protection.
How do I maintain the black fabric?
Use a soft dry brush to remove surface debris and only spot clean with water if absolutely necessary to prevent color fading.
What is the primary difference between standard Authentic and MTE Reissue 44?
The MTE Reissue 44 features reinforced construction details tailored for increased durability and resilience compared to the standard lifestyle model.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing conventions, but individual fit can vary depending on your preference for sock thickness.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the white rubber foxing
Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a soft-bristled brush with warm water and mild dish soap to gently scrub the affected areas.
Shoes feel slightly stiff upon first wear
This is common with new MTE footwear. Wear them around the house for short periods to gradually soften the materials and break in the footbed.
Excessive moisture accumulation inside
Remove the insoles to allow them to dry separately and stuff the shoe with crumpled newspaper to absorb moisture overnight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans MTE trainers last, keep them clean by wiping the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the upper material, use a soft brush to remove dust and dirt. Avoid putting these trainers in the washing machine, as high heat and heavy agitation can compromise the materials and structural adhesives. When choosing your size, remember that these are designed as standard adult trainers; if you are between sizes, consider a thicker sock for a more secure fit or a half-size adjustment.
