FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?

Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry naturally.
Does the rubber outsole provide good grip?

Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure a double-knot or consider a heel-lock lacing technique to increase tension.
Scuff marks on the faux leather
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe or a damp cloth with gentle pressure; do not use harsh solvents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Vans is straightforward; simply adjust the lace-up fastening to your preferred tension to ensure a snug, secure fit. As these are made of faux leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the synthetic finish. Instead, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove scuffs. If the soles accumulate debris, use a soft-bristled brush to clear the waffle tread. Ensure the shoes air-dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from cracking or deforming.
