FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adult footwear.

Can I use these for professional skateboarding?

They are modeled after the original skate classics and are well-suited for casual skateboarding.

How should I store them to prevent fading?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color vibrancy of the floral print.

Do they provide good arch support?

Like most classic Vans models, they offer a flat footbed; consider adding an aftermarket insole if you require significant arch support.

Are they suitable for rainy weather?

The canvas upper is not waterproof, so they are best suited for dry, temperate conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear

Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the canvas to soften naturally.

Laces coming untied frequently

Try a double-knot or ensure the laces are threaded through the eyelets evenly to provide better tension.

Dirt buildup on the rubber sole

Use a damp cloth with a little baking soda or a dedicated rubber eraser to lift stains.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic, timeless design updated with a vibrant floral pattern
  • High-quality, durable sole suitable for skateboarding and walking
  • Flexible construction offers comfort after the initial break-in period
  • Versatile black and red color palette matches a wide range of outfits

Cons

  • Canvas material may feel stiff during initial wear
  • Minimal arch support compared to dedicated technical athletic shoes
  • Light-colored floral prints may show dirt more easily than solid black models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers arrive ready to wear right out of the box. For best results, use a standard lace-tightening method to secure your foot before walking. To maintain the vibrant floral pattern and the integrity of the canvas material, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean with a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the rubber soles to warp or the fabric to shrink.
