FAQs

How do I ensure I pick the right size?

These follow standard Vans UK sizing. If you have owned Vans in the past, choose your usual size.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Vans remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure you select your standard Vans UK size for the best fit. The high-top design should feel secure around the ankle without feeling restrictive.
  2. Care: Clean the surface using a soft-bristled brush to remove dust. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and water solution, but avoid submerging the shoes fully to preserve the integrity of the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the red upper.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers pair best with casual attire such as dark denim, black trousers, or techwear-inspired outfits that highlight the red and black colourway.
