FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Era 59 series features a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the low-profile design snug.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No. Excessive heat from a dryer can damage the adhesive holding the rubber sole to the upper.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof and should be kept away from heavy rain or puddles to maintain material quality.
How should I clean the rubber sole?
A magic eraser or a soft cloth with mild soap and water is typically effective for removing scuffs from the rubber outsole.
Do I need to break these in?
Like many canvas and leather-trimmed trainers, there may be a short break-in period as the material conforms to your foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage while walking
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel more firmly against the back of the shoe.
Surface dirt accumulation
Use a dry soft-bristled brush to gently whisk away debris after every few wears.
Tight fit across the midfoot
Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets upward to redistribute pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Era 59 trainers maintain their condition, follow these simple care steps. For initial setup, loosen the laces completely to ensure your foot can enter comfortably without crushing the heel counter, which helps the shoe retain its shape over time. When cleaning, avoid machine washing as this can damage the structural integrity of the rubber and fabric. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the rubber to warp or the materials to stiffen.
