FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally recommended to hand-wash Vans to prevent damage to the construction and adhesives.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Authentic line has a standard fit; if your child has significantly wider feet, you may want to consider sizing up or choosing a model with more adjustment features.
Can I use these for school sports?
These are casual trainers; while suitable for general play, they are not specialized athletic shoes for intense sports.
What material is the upper made from?
The upper is constructed from durable, high-quality canvas fabric.
How do I know if the size 6 is right for my child?
Measure your child's foot in centimeters and compare it against the official Vans size chart for UK 6 Toddler sizes.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Double-knot the laces or consider replacing them with shorter ones to reduce dragging.
Canvas becoming stained
Use a specialized canvas cleaner or a soft brush with a gentle detergent solution to dab the area; let air dry away from direct sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Vans Authentic trainers, consider the following:
- Breaking In: New shoes may feel slightly stiff; allow your child to wear them for short durations initially.
- Cleaning: Spot clean the canvas upper using a soft cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the rubber and glue.
- Laces: Regularly check that laces are tied securely to prevent tripping hazards.
- Sizing: Vans typically run true to size, but always ensure there is a small amount of 'wiggle room' at the toe to accommodate growing feet.
