Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vans Authentic Hi trainers, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of canvas, it is recommended to treat them with a water and stain repellent spray before the first use. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water; avoid putting them in the washing machine, as the agitation can damage the structural integrity and the adhesive of the sole. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading. For sizing, these trainers generally run true to size, but consider wearing medium-weight socks if you require additional padding during the initial break-in phase.
