FAQs

How do I clean the checkered pattern?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid scrubbing too hard to prevent damage to the print.

It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the materials and affect the shoe's shape. Spot cleaning is the best method.

What if the suede gets wet?

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Avoid using heat. Once dry, brush the suede to restore its texture.

How do I remove scuff marks?

For light scuffs, try a pencil eraser. For tougher marks, use a specialized suede eraser.

Are these shoes true to size?

Vans sizing can be consistent, but it's always best to check the size chart or try them on if possible. If you are between sizes, it's generally recommended to size up.

How can I prevent the colors from fading?

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Use a fabric protector to help preserve the colors.

What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?

You can wear any type of socks with these shoes, but crew socks or no-show socks are popular choices.
