FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?

While they feature durable Vibram outsoles and high foxing tape, the primary design is for lifestyle and casual wear.

Do these fit true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult UK sizing; however, leather may feel more rigid initially than canvas counterparts.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a clean, damp cloth and leather-safe cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.

Is the material waterproof?

The leather is water-resistant, but not fully waterproof. It is recommended to apply a leather protectant spray for additional moisture resistance.

What makes the 44 series different?

The 44 series often focuses on enhanced construction details like the Vibram sole and reinforced foxing compared to base models.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff upon first wear

Wear the shoes for short periods around the house with medium-thickness socks to gradually break in the leather.

Surface scuffing on the leather

Use a matching leather polish or a soft eraser to gently buff out minor scuffs and restore the appearance.

Outsole losing traction

Ensure the micro-siped tread is free of debris and small stones by cleaning the grooves with a soft-bristled brush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable leather upper
  • Superior grip provided by Vibram outsole and micro-siped tread
  • Enhanced structural support with high foxing tape
  • Timeless design suitable for a wide range of casual outfits

Cons

  • Leather requires specific cleaning products compared to canvas
  • Less breathable than traditional canvas Vans models
  • May require a short break-in period to soften the leather

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As these are leather trainers, no complex setup is required; simply ensure you have the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit. For ongoing care, avoid machine washing, which can damage the leather finish and glue bonds. Instead, wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, followed by a leather conditioner to prevent cracking. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the yellow pigment and material suppleness.
