FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Vans Authentic series generally fits true to standard UK adult sizing.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is highly recommended to hand wash or spot clean only. Machine washing can compromise the glue and the shape of the shoe.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the shoes are made of canvas, which is porous and not designed to repel water.

Do they provide arch support?

The Authentic series has a flat insole profile. If you require significant arch support, you may consider adding an aftermarket insole.

Can I wear these for skating?

Yes, these are designed with the classic waffle grip suitable for casual skating and board feel.

Troubleshooting

Laces becoming frayed

Replace with standard flat cotton laces to maintain the classic aesthetic and ensure a secure fit.

Canvas becoming dusty or dirty

Use a dry soft brush to remove surface dust, followed by a damp cloth with mild soap for localized spots.

Sole losing traction

Wipe the rubber waffle sole with a damp cloth to remove compacted dirt or debris that may reduce grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and breathable design
  • Bold aesthetic suitable for various styles

Cons

  • Canvas material can be difficult to clean
  • Minimal arch support for long-distance walking

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Vans Authentic trainers last, proper care is essential. The lace-up closure allows for an adjustable fit; ensure the laces are threaded through the metal eyelets securely to maintain the shoe's shape. Regarding compatibility, these trainers are designed for casual wear and pair effortlessly with denim, joggers, or dresses. For care, avoid machine washing, which can damage the canvas and weaken the adhesive in the sole. Instead, gently spot clean the canvas with a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the rubber from cracking.
