Product Information
Full details
The Vans Authentic trainers are designed for individuals seeking a timeless, versatile sneaker that bridges the gap between casual streetwear and performance skateboarding. Featuring the brand's iconic 1966 heritage silhouette, these shoes provide reliable daily comfort through durable construction and a signature grip; however, users should note that the flat, minimal arch support may not be suitable for those requiring specialized orthotic cushioning for extended walking.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Vans Authentic line typically fits true to standard UK adult sizing.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the vulcanized bond and weaken the structural integrity of the shoe.
Is the sole non-slip?
The signature waffle rubber sole is designed for high-traction activities like skateboarding, providing excellent grip on most surfaces.
Does this shoe provide good arch support?
The Authentic series features a flat, minimal profile. If you require significant arch support, you may wish to add aftermarket insoles.
Is the denim upper waterproof?
The denim material is naturally porous. While it can handle light conditions, we recommend a protective spray to improve resistance to moisture.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Adjust the lacing pattern to be looser through the eyelets or use thinner socks during the initial break-in period.
Stains appearing on the denim upper
Spot clean immediately using a gentle laundry detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth; avoid aggressive scrubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Authentic trainers remain in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New trainers may feel stiff initially. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the material to soften to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the denim upper. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes fully in water, as this can affect the glue integrity.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for denim fabrics to preserve the blue and white aesthetic.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
