FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing for adults.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is generally not recommended as machine washing can damage the adhesive and the shape of the shoe; hand cleaning is preferred.
Do these Vans provide good arch support?
No, they are designed with a flat sole and offer minimal arch support.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made from a durable, lightweight textile canvas.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
The canvas material is not waterproof and may absorb water, so they are best suited for dry, fair-weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Canvas becoming stained or dirty
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild mixture of water and gentle soap with a soft-bristled brush to spot treat.
Shoes feeling too tight across the bridge
Loosen the laces significantly before putting the shoes on to relieve pressure, or allow the fabric time to stretch naturally during the break-in period.
Loss of traction on soles
Wipe the bottom waffle tread with a damp cloth to remove debris or dust buildup that can cause the rubber to lose its grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you are using the correct UK sizing (this guide focuses on UK size 9). The canvas upper will slightly break in over time to match the shape of your foot.
- Cleaning: Spot clean the canvas uppers using a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid submerging the shoes fully in water, as this can degrade the glue bond.
- Drying: Air dry the sneakers naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not place them in a clothes dryer or near direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can warp the rubber and shrink the fabric.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the laces for fraying and replace them to maintain a clean appearance.
