FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Vans Authentic generally fits true to standard UK adult sizing.
Can I put my Vans in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as the mechanical action and heat can damage the bonding materials and the canvas.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are casual lifestyle shoes and do not provide the cushioning or impact support required for running.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from durable, high-quality canvas.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the signature rubber waffle outsole is designed to be non-marking for indoor and outdoor use.
How do I tighten the fit?
You can adjust the tension using the lace-up eyelets to create a more secure fit across the bridge of the foot.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after purchase
Canvas shoes often require a short break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to mold to your foot.
White soles are getting scuffed
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff out scuffs and keep the white accents bright.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Authentic shoes remain in top condition, follow these simple care steps:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in a washing machine as this can damage the glue.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the canvas to warp or colors to fade.
- Fit: These are standard fit shoes. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to ensure the canvas doesn't pinch during the initial break-in period.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent mold growth on the canvas and to keep the rubber outsole from drying out.
