Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as these trainers follow traditional Vans sizing conventions. To keep your green trainers looking sharp, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap. Periodically check the laces for wear and ensure the footbed remains clean to prevent odor buildup. If the trainers get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the material quality.
