Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe the rubber foxing clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans remain in top condition, keep these care tips in mind. Since they are lifestyle trainers, avoid machine washing them, as this can degrade the glue and materials. Instead, clean the canvas or suede uppers with a soft brush to remove dirt. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the rubber. For sizing, these follow standard adult UK sizing; if you plan to wear thick socks, you may want to ensure you have a comfortable fit in your standard size as they do not feature excessive internal padding.
