FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Vans Authentic series generally fits true to size, though it is recommended to check the UK size guide before purchase.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your Vans as this can damage the glue and fabric; hand cleaning is the preferred method.
Are these suitable for walking long distances?
While they are comfortable for general wear, they have minimal arch support and may not be ideal for miles of continuous walking.
Do these shoes come with extra laces?
They typically come with the standard laces threaded through the eyelets.
Can I use custom orthotics with these?
Yes, you can remove the existing insole if possible or place a thin orthotic insert on top of the existing footbed.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff when new
Wear the shoes around the house with socks for a few hours to help the canvas break in.
Visible dirt on the canvas
Gently scrub the affected area with a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and water, then let air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Upon unboxing, ensure you adjust the laces to your preference. The shoes will feel slightly stiff initially; wearing them for short periods over the first few days will allow the canvas to conform to your feet.
Compatibility: These shoes work best with casual attire including denim, chinos, and athletic wear.
Care: To keep your Vans looking clean, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean the canvas with a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive degradation.
