FAQs
What material are the Vans Upland trainers made of?
The uppers are made from 50% suede and 50% other materials. The lining is 100% textile, and the sole is 100% rubber.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They are not optimized for high-impact running due to their flat heel and cushioning.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and avoid excessive water.
What does 'Varsity Block' refer to in the name?
'Varsity Block' likely refers to the colorway and design aesthetic, often inspired by collegiate or retro sports styles, featuring distinct blocks of color.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, suede is not waterproof and can be easily damaged by excessive moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What sizes are available?
These trainers are available in various adult UK sizes. Please check the product listing for the specific size range offered.
Is the cushioning removable?
The product details state 'Cushioning: 100% textile,' which typically refers to the insole. While some insoles can be removed, it's not guaranteed for this specific model without direct inspection.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly with a clean cloth, following the product's instructions. Allow to dry naturally and brush again.
Laces are worn out.
Replace laces with a standard pair of trainer laces. Ensure the length is appropriate for the number of eyelets on the shoe.
Sole feels slippery.
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from debris. If the sole shows significant wear, it may be time to consider replacement or a new pair of shoes.
Discomfort after initial wear.
Break-in period: Wear the shoes for short periods initially. The materials may need time to conform to your foot shape. Ensure the fit is correct by checking the size and width.
