FAQs

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the Vans Rowley Trainers are designed as unisex footwear.

What is the primary benefit of the SickStick formula?

SickStick is a specialized gum rubber formula designed to provide the best grip and durability in the brand's history.

Can I remove the insoles?

Yes, the Pop Cush insoles are removable if you need to swap them for custom orthotics or if they need to be cleaned/aired out.

How should I clean the nubuck upper?

Use a specialized nubuck brush and cleaner. Avoid machine washing or using water, as this can damage the material.

Are these true to size?

The Rowley series typically fits true to standard UK sizing, though the padded collar provides a snug, secure fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too stiff when new

Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the materials to break in before taking them for a long skate session.

Excessive dirt on nubuck upper

Use a dry, soft brush to gently scrub the surface in one direction. Do not use harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Loss of grip on the outsole

Wipe the gum soles with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris that can accumulate over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Industry-leading grip with SickStick technology
  • Reinforced durability via triple-stitched seams
  • Advanced impact protection from Pop Cush insoles
  • Classic, timeless skate aesthetic
  • Provides secure ankle support

Cons

  • May require a short break-in period for optimal comfort
  • Primarily optimized for skating, which may feel rigid for casual walking
  • Nubuck material requires specific cleaning techniques

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best performance, ensure the laces are tightened to your preference before your first session to allow the shoe to mold to your foot shape during the break-in process. Because these trainers feature a nubuck upper, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and a specialized nubuck cleaning solution for stains. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the gum rubber's tackiness and prevent the materials from fading.
