FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing, though the leather upper may feel slightly snug initially.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and weaken the adhesive bond of the rubber sole.

Are these suitable for professional skating?

While designed with skate heritage in mind and offering good durability, professional performance may depend on individual preference for board feel.

Does the green colour fade easily?

Like any dyed leather, prolonged exposure to direct, intense sunlight may cause slight fading over time. Protect them with a leather conditioner.

Are the insoles replaceable?

Yes, the Sola Foam ADC insoles are designed to be removable if you wish to clean them or use a different insert.

Troubleshooting

Stiffness when first wearing the shoes

This is normal for leather footwear. Try wearing thicker socks during the first few uses to help stretch and soften the material.

Insoles feel too flat

The Sola Foam ADC insoles are designed for a balance of feel and support. If you require arch support, these are removable and can be replaced with aftermarket orthotics.

Scuff marks on the leather

Use a matching leather polish or cream to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the appearance of the green finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality leather construction for added durability
  • Enhanced comfort via modern Sola Foam ADC insoles
  • Versatile design suitable for both skating and casual street style
  • Reliable grip from the classic rubber waffle outsole

Cons

  • Leather material requires time to soften and break in
  • Less breathable than canvas versions during warm weather
  • Limited to a specific aesthetic that may not suit all athletic performance needs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Vans Authentic 44 Trainers maintain their quality, follow these maintenance practices:

  1. Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the leather to naturally contour to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush to remove dirt. Avoid fully submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack or the rubber to warp.
  4. Lacing: Adjust the laces through the metal eyelets to achieve a snug but comfortable fit that prevents heel slip.
