FAQs
Are Vans Authentic shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally run true to size for standard adult widths.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as machine washing can compromise the glue and rubber components of the shoe. Hand cleaning is preferred.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
They feature a flat footbed with minimal arch support, which is standard for this classic silhouette.
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, the waffle-soled design was originally popularized by skaters for its excellent board feel and grip.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is crafted from durable cotton canvas.
Can I wear these without socks?
You can, but wearing thin, low-cut liners is recommended to keep the interior clean and manage moisture.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose over the top of the foot
Adjust the lacing pattern by skipping eyelets or utilizing the criss-cross method to redistribute pressure.
Canvas becoming dirty or dusty
Brush away loose dirt, then gently wipe the surface with a damp, soapy cloth, ensuring you rinse with a clean, damp cloth afterwards.
Heel slipping while walking
Ensure the shoes are laced securely through the top eyelet to lock the heel in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Authentic shoes last as long as possible, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Setup: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension upon first wear to maintain the shape of the tongue and eyelet area.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or debris from the cotton canvas. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a cloth; avoid submerging the shoes fully in water.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as these can warp the rubber soles and shrink the canvas.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray compatible with canvas fabrics to keep the blue color vibrant and protected against spills.
