FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skating?
Yes, the Authentic series is rooted in skate culture and offers the flat sole and grip needed for skateboarding.
Do I need to break these in?
Like most canvas shoes, they may feel slightly stiff at first, but they will conform to your foot shape after a few wears.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended. Hand cleaning is best to preserve the integrity of the glue and the embroidered checkerboard detailing.
Are they waterproof?
No, they are made of canvas. We recommend using a water-repellent spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.
What sizing system do these use?
These sneakers are listed in UK adult sizes.
Do they provide good arch support?
They offer a flat footbed. If you require significant arch support, consider adding aftermarket supportive insoles.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the white rubber foxing
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with a small amount of baking soda to gently scrub the rubber edges.
Canvas becoming stained
Apply a specialized fabric protector spray before wearing them to help repel moisture and dirt from the embroidered surface.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans maintain their appearance, keep them clean by wiping the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive and the embroidered pattern. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent canvas warping. For compatibility, these shoes generally run true to size, but standard UK sizing should be measured against your existing footwear for the best fit.
