Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Authentic 44 Trainers stay in prime condition, keep the following tips in mind. As they are constructed from cotton canvas, it is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray before initial wear to prevent dirt and liquid stains. When cleaning, avoid using a washing machine, which can weaken the glue and materials; instead, use a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and warm water to gently spot-clean the canvas. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can cause the rubber to warp or the fabric to shrink.
