FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Vans Era generally fits true to size for most users.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your Vans as it can damage the glue and construction. Spot cleaning is the best method.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the cotton canvas upper is breathable, making them suitable for warm-weather wear.
Are they suitable for actual skateboarding?
The Era series is a classic skate shoe with a waffle grip outsole, though they lack the high-impact tech of modern performance skate shoes.
Do I need to break them in?
While generally comfortable out of the box, the canvas and rubber construction may require a day or two of wear to fully conform to your foot.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the rubber foxing tape
Use a white eraser or a magic sponge with a small amount of water to gently buff away scuff marks from the rubber side walls.
Foot discomfort during long walks
Consider inserting a high-quality supportive insole to bridge the gap between the flat rubber sole and your natural arch.
Canvas becoming stained
Mix a mild laundry detergent with cool water and use a toothbrush to gently scrub the affected area, then blot dry with a clean cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Vans Era, ensure the laces are tightened to your preference to secure your heel against the padded collar. Since the upper is made of durable cotton-based canvas, it is recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to protect the vibrant colors. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush with mild soap and cold water to spot clean any surface dirt. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the rubber bonding and cause the canvas to lose its shape. Always air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area to prevent color fading.
