How do I clean the Duck Green colorway?

How should I care for the suede parts of the shoe?

The UK 8 size is standard for adult men. It is recommended to refer to Vans' official size chart for precise measurements and comparisons to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear the shoes with medium-thickness socks for a short period to allow the materials to stretch slightly. Consider using a shoe tree to maintain shape and aid in minor stretching.
Suede color looks faded or uneven
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and even out the color. For deeper fading, consider a suede dye or renovator spray in a matching color.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
The waffle outsole is designed for grip on dry surfaces. Exercise caution on wet or slippery surfaces, as performance may be diminished.
