Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff during the first wear
This is normal for leather footwear. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the leather to soften and stretch to your foot shape.
Surface dirt on the checkerboard pattern
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose dust before attempting to wipe with a damp cloth.
Laces becoming frayed or dirty
Replace with standard laces if the braided style frays, or gently hand-wash the original laces in mild soap and water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans remain in top condition, follow these maintenance guidelines. Before wearing, consider applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent. For cleaning, do not machine wash these leather trainers; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner for stains. For the braided laces, remove them periodically and hand wash in lukewarm water with a small amount of mild detergent to maintain their appearance. Always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, as high heat can cause leather to crack or lose its shape.
