FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Vans Classic Slip-On 98 generally fits true to your standard UK shoe size.
Can these be worn without socks?
While they can be worn without socks, we recommend using 'no-show' socks to manage moisture and prevent odors.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
The canvas upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions to avoid discomfort.
Is the footbed removable?
The footbed is generally integrated into the construction of the shoe and is not designed for regular removal.
How do I break in new Vans?
Wear them for short periods around the house with thick socks to gently stretch the canvas and soften the heel area.
What gender are these shoes for?
These are unisex trainers, designed to fit both men and women effectively.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage while walking
Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size and try adding a thin adhesive heel grip inside the back of the shoe.
Canvas becoming discolored
Use a soft-bristled brush with mild soap and water to spot clean; avoid soaking the shoe entirely.
White rubber sidewalls looking dingy
Clean the rubber foxing with a magic eraser or a damp cloth dipped in a mixture of baking soda and water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no formal setup beyond confirming your UK size (e.g., size 10.5). To maintain the appearance of the black and white canvas, wipe the white rubber foxing with a damp cloth or specialized sneaker cleaner. Avoid machine washing the shoes to prevent glue degradation. It is recommended to use a protective spray on the canvas sections to repel dirt and moisture, ensuring the longevity of the black fabric.
