FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash suede footwear as it can damage the material and construction.
Do I need to break them in?
Like most suede footwear, they may feel slightly stiff initially but will naturally conform to your foot shape after a few days of wear.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
Suede is prone to water damage, so it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep puddles.
How do I choose the right size?
These follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual Vans size for the best fit.
Can these be used for skateboarding?
These are primarily lifestyle shoes; the backless mule design does not provide the heel lockdown required for safe or effective skateboarding.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft suede brush to gently brush the fibers in one direction to restore the nap.
Foot slipping while walking
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size; if the fit is too loose, the backless design may not provide enough stability.
