Can I replace the insoles with orthotics?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Loosen the laces significantly before putting them on and adjust the tension gradually for a custom fit.
Surface dirt on the white rubber midsole
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a damp cloth with a small amount of non-abrasive cleaner to gently buff away scuffs.
Canvas has become discolored from moisture
Allow the shoes to dry naturally at room temperature; do not place them on heaters or in a tumble dryer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Vans Authentic starts with finding the right fit, as they generally run true to size for most adults. To keep your shoes looking fresh, avoid machine washing them, as this can degrade the glue and materials. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the canvas. For tougher stains, a mild soap mixed with water can be applied with a cloth. Always air-dry your shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can cause the rubber to warp or the canvas to fade.
