FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, though the accommodating eye row allows for some flexibility if you prefer a wider fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash Vans as the heat and agitation can damage the vulcanized construction and adhesive bonds.
Are these suitable for skateboarding?
While they feature durable construction and a waffle sole, they are primarily lifestyle trainers. Dedicated skate models provide more specialized features.
What is the primary material used?
The Brooklyn LS utilizes a combination of durable textile uppers and a rubber waffle outsole.
How do I maintain the grip on the outsole?
Keep the soles free of debris and mud by wiping them down with a damp cloth if you notice a reduction in traction.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff when new
This is normal for vulcanized footwear; wear them for short intervals indoors to allow the materials to flex and break in.
Laces feel too tight across the top of the foot
Utilize the accommodating eye row design by re-lacing the shoes with a parallel or 'bar' lacing pattern to reduce pressure points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Brooklyn LS trainers, ensure you have the correct size, as Vans sizes can sometimes vary slightly from other athletic brands.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the glue and materials.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or heaters, which can warp the rubber.
- Maintenance: Periodically brush off dust and debris from the canvas or upper materials to keep them looking fresh.
