FAQs
Are these Vans Sk8-Mid Reissue V shoes suitable for toddlers who are just starting to walk?

How do I ensure I get the correct size for my toddler?
It is recommended to measure your toddler's foot length and refer to the Vans size chart. Always aim for a fit that leaves about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the front of the shoe for comfort and growth.
Can these shoes be machine washed?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff initially
It is normal for new leather shoes to feel a bit stiff. Encourage your toddler to wear them for short periods at first, allowing the leather to soften and conform to their feet naturally over time.
Shoes get dirty quickly or have scuff marks
Regularly wipe down the leather upper with a damp cloth after wear. For persistent scuffs or dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for black leather to gently lift marks. Consider applying a leather conditioner to protect the material.
Hook-and-loop straps are not holding securely
The hook-and-loop fasteners can lose grip if they accumulate lint, dirt, or debris. Use a small brush or a piece of tape to clean out any trapped material from both sides of the fasteners to restore their holding power.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes
Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each use. You can place baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out in the morning. Ensure socks are worn to help absorb moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Open Straps: Fully open the hook-and-loop straps on each shoe.
- Insert Foot: Gently slide your toddler's foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel is seated properly.
- Secure Straps: Close the straps firmly but comfortably, without making them too tight. Check that there is approximately a thumb's width of space between your toddler's longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for growth and comfort.
Compatibility
These Vans Sk8-Mid Reissue V shoes are designed specifically for toddlers and pair well with standard toddler socks. They are suitable for a wide range of casual outfits, from jeans and shorts to dresses and skirts.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: For general dirt and scuffs, wipe the black leather upper with a clean, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Gently rub the affected area, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Rubber Sole: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mixture of mild soap and water. Scrub gently to remove dirt and grime.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the leather.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry these shoes, as this can cause damage to the materials, structure, and adhesives.
