FAQs

What material are the Vans Authentic trainers made of?

The uppers are made of 80% textile and 20% leather. The lining and cushioning are 100% textile, and the sole is 100% rubber.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic sports?

These trainers are designed for everyday wear and light activities. They offer comfort and durability for casual use but may not provide the specialized support required for intense athletic training.

How do I clean the blue multi fabric?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution with a soft brush can be used, followed by a wipe with a damp cloth.

What does 'Authentic' refer to in the product name?

'Authentic' refers to the specific model of Vans shoe, which is one of their original and most iconic designs, known for its simple silhouette and durable construction.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The materials and construction are best preserved by spot cleaning and hand washing methods.

What size range are these trainers available in?

These trainers are available in kids' sizes, specifically indicated by UK children's foot sizing.

Do the elasticated laces offer adjustability?

The elasticated laces are designed for ease of wear and a secure fit. They are not designed for significant adjustment like traditional laces.

Troubleshooting

Shoes appear dirty after minimal wear

Gently wipe the affected areas with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Elastic laces feel too loose or too tight

These are designed for a snug fit and minimal adjustment. If the fit is consistently off, consider if the shoe size is appropriate. For minor adjustments, ensure the laces are seated correctly within their channels.

Discoloration on the textile or leather

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If discoloration occurs, try gently cleaning with a damp cloth. For significant fading, there is limited remedy beyond careful cleaning.

Sole feels slippery on wet surfaces

The rubber sole provides good traction, but like all footwear, grip may be reduced on extremely wet or smooth surfaces. Ensure the sole is free from debris for optimal grip.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the textile and leather portions, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the materials.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. Stubborn dirt can be tackled with a mild soap solution.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause materials to shrink or warp.
  • Laces: The elasticated laces are designed for ease of use and should not require frequent adjustment. If they become soiled, they can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
