Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Authentic 44 Trainers stay in peak condition, regular maintenance is key. Since they feature a classic white finish, it is recommended to treat the fabric with a water and stain repellent spray before the first use. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the soles, and spot clean the canvas upper with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the adhesive in the vulcanized soles. These shoes are true to size; however, because they lack significant arch support, individuals who require orthotics may find them most comfortable by replacing the stock insole with a thin, custom insert.
