FAQs
What material are the Vans Upland trainers made of?
The trainers feature durable suede and synthetic uppers, with a rubber outsole.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
The Vans Upland trainers are designed for casual, everyday wear and offer good comfort and traction. They are not specifically designed for high-impact sports or running.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoes?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let air dry. Avoid getting the suede overly wet.
What is the main design inspiration for the Upland series?
The Upland series reimagines an archival Vans shoe from 1999, updating it with a chunky stance, superior underfoot support, and elevated materials for an iconic yet modern style.
What does 'cold cement cupsole' refer to?
This refers to the construction method of the sole, where it is cemented to the upper in a way that provides durability and underfoot support, contributing to the shoe's retro aesthetic.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole offers some grip, the suede and synthetic uppers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming untied frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a textured or grippier material if they are smooth and prone to slipping.
Suede material showing signs of wear or staining
Use a specialized suede cleaner and protector. Address stains immediately with appropriate suede cleaning methods. Brush regularly to maintain nap.
Discomfort after extended wear
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually. If discomfort persists, consider using insoles for added cushioning or support.
