FAQs
Can I put my Vans Authentic trainers in the washing machine?

These trainers are designed for casual lifestyle wear and do not provide the cushioning or stability required for running or high-impact sports.
How should I clean the white rubber part of the sole?
You can clean the rubber sides by wiping them down with a damp cloth or using a specialized sneaker eraser for scuff marks.
Do these shoes come in different materials?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Authentic trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines. First, never machine wash or submerge these shoes in water, as it can damage the vulcanized bond and the cotton material. Instead, use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean any surface dirt. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can warp the rubber. These trainers are highly compatible with casual trousers, denim, and shorts, functioning as a staple piece for a minimalist or streetwear-inspired wardrobe.
