FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Vans Caldrone typically fits true to standard UK shoe sizing.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing will damage the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the trainers.
Are these suitable for athletic activities?
While comfortable for walking, these are designed as lifestyle fashion trainers and not for high-impact sports.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from genuine suede.
Do I need to treat the suede before wearing?
It is highly recommended to use a suede-safe water repellent spray before your first wear to protect against moisture and dirt.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dusty
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift the fibers and restore the nap.
Visible water spots
Dampen the entire shoe lightly with a clean cloth and allow it to air dry naturally away from heat sources.
Tight fit around the instep
Loosen the laces significantly to allow the tongue to adjust; do not overtighten, as this can compress the internal cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vans Caldrone trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New suede shoes may feel slightly snug; wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Do not submerge in water. Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For localized stains, use a suede eraser or a professional suede cleaner.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before your first wear to create a protective barrier.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the black dye in the suede over time.
