FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult UK sizes.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is recommended to hand clean them, as machine washing can compromise the glue and structural integrity of the shoes.
Are these suitable for long-distance walking?
While they are comfortable for daily wear, they are primarily lifestyle and skate shoes and may not offer the support required for long-distance athletic walking.
What should I do if the laces are too long?
You can replace the laces with a shorter pair or double-knot them to maintain a clean look.
How do I know if the size 5.5 fits me?
Measure your foot from the back of the heel to the tip of your longest toe and compare it to the standard UK sizing chart provided by the manufacturer.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff when new
Wear them for short periods around the house to gradually soften the upper material.
Dirt buildup on the rubber sole
Use a damp cloth and a mild soap to scrub the waffle pattern, then wipe clean with a dry towel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans remain in top condition, follow these simple care steps:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush to remove surface dirt and a mild detergent with water for deeper spots on the fabric.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature; avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the rubber.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the laces and ensure they are tied securely to prevent excess friction on the eyelets.
- Storage: Keep your trainers in a cool, dry place to prevent material degradation over time.
