FAQs
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and weaken the vulcanized bond. Clean by hand using appropriate suede-care products.
How do I protect the suede from stains?
Apply a high-quality, breathable suede protector spray before wearing them for the first time.
Are these true to size?
The Vans Authentic 44 generally fits standard adult UK sizing; however, individual fit may vary based on sock thickness.
What is the benefit of the Sola Foam ADC?
The Sola Foam ADC is designed to provide better shock absorption and energy return compared to standard foam inserts.
Can these be worn for skateboarding?
While rooted in skate heritage, this specific model is designed as a lifestyle shoe. For high-impact skating, consider Vans Pro models with reinforced rubber underlays.
How do I clean the rubber midsole?
Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soapy solution to gently scrub the rubber edges, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Use a suede eraser to gently buff the affected area and follow up with a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, it is essential to treat the suede before the first wear with a water-repellent spray designed for delicate materials. If the shoes become dirty, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dust and debris. Avoid machine washing, as the moisture can damage the adhesive and the texture of the suede. For long-term storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the beige color from fading.
