FAQs
Are the Vans Era 59 trainers waterproof?
No, they are not waterproof. We recommend using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather and canvas if you plan to wear them in damp conditions.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
The Era 59 features a flatter footbed typical of classic skate shoes. If you require significant arch support, you may consider adding an aftermarket orthotic insole.
How do I clean the canvas parts of the shoe?
Gently scrub with a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and water, then air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
We do not recommend machine washing as it can damage the materials and the adhesive that binds the sole to the upper.
What should I do if the shoes are too tight?
Vans tend to be true to size. If they feel tight, ensure you are wearing appropriate thickness socks and try loosening the laces entirely before re-tying them to find a more comfortable tension.
Are these suitable for gym use?
While they are stable for basic lifting, they lack the cushioning and technical support required for running or high-intensity aerobic exercise.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage when walking
Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets moving upwards to lock the heel more securely.
Stiff feel during first wear
The canvas and leather components require a break-in period; wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to soften the materials.
Surface dirt on the rubber foxing
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away scuffs from the white or black rubber rim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Era 59 trainers remain in peak condition, proper care is essential. Since these shoes feature leather and textile components, avoid fully submerging them in water. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust and dirt after use. For tougher stains, utilize a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution on a damp cloth, spot-testing first on an inconspicuous area. When sizing, note that the Vans Era series generally follows standard UK sizing; however, since they are a low-top model, ensure your socks provide adequate coverage to prevent friction at the heel. Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the adhesive and materials.
