FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash your Vans as it can damage the materials and bonding agents. Use hand-cleaning methods instead.
How do I ensure the right fit?
These trainers fit true to size for adults. If you are between sizes, consider trying the smaller size as canvas tends to stretch slightly over time.
Are these good for high-impact sports?
No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual use and do not offer the support or stability required for high-impact athletics.
Can I use these in rainy weather?
While the rubber sole provides grip, the canvas upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to prevent staining and water damage.
Does the LX version differ from the standard version?
Yes, the LX line typically utilizes higher quality materials and more refined construction details for a more premium look and feel.
Troubleshooting

The canvas may take time to break in. Ensure you are wearing the correct size and consider a thin insole if the fit is slightly too loose.
