FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash or spot clean your Vans to avoid damage to the glue and fabric structure.
Do they provide good arch support?
The OG Slip-On is designed for style and casual comfort; it features standard flat soles and limited arch support compared to dedicated performance footwear.
Is the sizing consistent with other brands?
Vans generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, many users prefer to try the slightly larger size for added comfort in the toe box.
Can I wear these without socks?
While you can, wearing low-cut 'no-show' socks is recommended to absorb moisture and prevent odor buildup inside the canvas.
What should I do if the white checkers get dirty?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the white canvas areas.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage while walking
Consider wearing thin heel grips or thicker socks to improve the internal fit and friction against the back of the shoe.
Stiffness upon first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to gradually break in the canvas and elastic side panels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Sizing: These shoes are sized in UK adult standards. Ensure you measure your foot accurately, as slip-ons should feel secure without being constricting.
Initial Fit: The fabric may feel slightly stiff out of the box but will typically soften and contour to your foot shape after a few days of wear.
Cleaning: Spot clean the canvas using a soft brush, mild detergent, and cold water. Avoid machine washing to preserve the shape and adhesive integrity of the soles.
Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the red pigment from fading over extended periods.
