FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit consistent with standard Vans sizing, though the mule fit is naturally more open than laced sneakers.
Can I wear these for skateboarding?
While they feature the Old Skool style, the backless mule construction is intended for casual wear and does not provide the heel security needed for technical skateboarding.
What materials are used for the upper?
The upper is constructed from durable, breathable cotton fabric.
How do I clean the rubber midsole?
A magic eraser or a soft cloth dampened with warm water and soap will effectively clean the white rubber sidewalls.
Are these unisex?
Vans designs are typically styled for everyone; this model is listed for adults.
Troubleshooting
Shoes slipping off while walking
Mules rely on foot shape for retention. Ensure you are wearing the correct size; if they remain loose, wearing thicker cotton socks can help provide a more snug fit against the upper.
Surface dirt on white sections of the checkerboard
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a mixture of baking soda and water applied with a soft toothbrush to gently clean the white areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As these are slip-on mules, no setup is required beyond ensuring you have selected the correct UK shoe size. For daily care, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust or surface dirt from the cotton uppers. If the shoes become stained, use a mild soap and cold water solution on a clean cloth, being careful not to soak the materials. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the structural integrity of the shoe and the adhesive binding the sole to the upper. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
