FAQs
Are these shoes made from real leather?
No, this specific model features a high-quality faux leather construction for durability and easy cleaning.
How do I keep the white exterior clean?
Wipe regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing to prevent structural damage.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The lace-up design allows for custom width adjustment, but they generally follow a standard fit profile.
Can I use these for skateboarding?
While based on skate silhouettes, this faux leather version is primarily intended for casual lifestyle use.
Do these have arch support?
They feature a standard flat footbed. If you require significant arch support, you may consider adding an aftermarket insole.
What is the sizing like?
The shoes typically run true to size, following standard UK adult sizing conventions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or tight initially
Wear them for short periods around the house with thicker socks to break in the faux leather material.
Scuffs appearing on the white surface
Use a non-abrasive white eraser or a damp magic sponge to gently lift marks from the faux leather.
Outsole losing its grip
Wipe the bottom of the shoes with a damp cloth to remove trapped dust and restore the rubber's natural stickiness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, adjust the laces to accommodate the width of your foot, ensuring the shoe feels snug without restricting circulation. Since these are made from faux leather, they do not require the same treatment as suede or canvas. To care for your white Vans, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap immediately after spotting a mark. Avoid submerging them in water, as this can degrade the internal adhesives. If the laces become discoloured, remove them and soak in warm soapy water to restore their brightness.
