FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, it is recommended to clean them by hand using a damp cloth or soft brush to preserve the integrity of the materials and adhesives.

How do I ensure the right fit for my child?

Vans sizes are generally true to standard UK footwear measurements; ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the front for growth.

Can the straps be replaced?

The straps are integrated into the design; for long-term wear, keep the hook-and-loop components clean to ensure they continue to function correctly.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The touch-and-close strap system allows for significant adjustability, making them accommodating for various foot widths compared to traditional lace-up shoes.

What should I do if the shoes get wet?

Wipe off excess moisture with a towel and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting

Straps are not sticking securely

Check the hook-and-loop surface for debris or lint buildup and clear it with a small brush or comb.

Surface dirt on the fabric

Lightly blot with a mixture of mild soap and water; do not soak the material to avoid discoloration.

Soles appearing slippery

Clean the bottom of the rubber soles with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dust or smooth residue that may be hindering traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Secure fit provided by the touch-and-close strap system
  • Cushioned insoles ensure long-term comfort for growing feet
  • Sturdy construction handles the wear and tear of active play
  • Reliable traction from the classic rubber waffle-style sole

  • Hook-and-loop fasteners can collect lint and debris over time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no "setup" beyond adjusting the straps for the correct foot width. To ensure a long life for your Vans, follow these care tips:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from the textile uppers.
  2. Strap Maintenance: Periodically remove lint or fabric fuzz from the touch-and-close fasteners using a fine-toothed comb to ensure they maintain a strong grip.
  3. Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash these shoes, as immersion in water can weaken the adhesive and damage the rubber bonds.
  4. Air Drying: If the shoes get wet, air-dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
