FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

Yes, the Rowley XLT series is inspired by skate heritage and built to provide the traction and durability needed for skating.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

Vans generally follow standard sizing, but if you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider the standard size you wear in other athletic footwear.

Can I machine wash my Vans?

It is not recommended to machine wash your Vans as it can damage the materials and adhesive. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is preferred.

Are these sneakers unisex?

Yes, while some models specify gender, the overall design and aesthetic of the Rowley XLT line are suitable for all.

How do I maintain the black finish?

Use a specialized canvas or suede protector spray depending on the specific material finish of your pair to repel water and dirt.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel slightly stiff upon first wear

This is common with premium construction skate shoes. Wear them for a few hours at a time around the house to soften the upper material.

Accumulation of dust and dirt in the tread

Use a stiff brush to clear out debris from the outsole tread patterns to maintain optimal traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Vans Rowley XLT trainers stay in peak condition, consider these guidelines:

  1. Breaking In: Wear them for short intervals during the first week to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the exterior. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and cold water solution on a cloth, then air dry away from direct heat sources.
  3. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent material degradation.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard lace-up system, making them compatible with various aftermarket insoles if extra arch support is required.
