The Old Skool from Vans' MTE (Made for the Elements) line, the cold-weather build of the classic.
The toe, eyestay, heel and sidestripe are Apricot pebbled leather, and the quarters are panels of black coated ripstop with contrast stitching.
It's fully lined in black faux fur, with metal eyelets and two speed-hook D-rings at the top for a boot-style lace-up. It sits on a marshmallow vulcanised midsole over a gum outsole with the MTE waffle-and-hex tread.
Wax & Waffle Evaluation Grade: Great — 8/10
Upper: Leather cleaned with saddle soap and conditioned, and the colour is rich and even.
Ripstop panels foam-cleaned and blotted.
Foxing and soles: Marshmallow midsole cleaned but not whitened, because marshmallow is the factory colour.
Gum outsole damp-wiped, with light wear and deep tread remaining.
Interior: Faux-fur lining brushed out, sanitised and deodorised. Insoles freshened.
Laces: Black laces fitted, cleaned.
Flaws: A small pale scuff on the lateral black panel of one shoe, and a few light marks on the midsoles. All shown in photos.
Size: UK 6.5 / EU 40 / US Men's 7.5 / US Women's 9 / 25.5cm, all taken from the label. Vans generally fit true to size, but the fur lining makes it a snug fit, so consider half a size up if you're between sizes. Go by the label size — see our Size Guide, or message us before you buy.
