FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
These Vans Slip-On trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and comfort. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for running or intense athletic activities.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It is recommended to try them on if possible. Generally, they should fit snugly but comfortably, without your heel slipping out. The elasticated inserts help secure the fit.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the linen material and rubber sole. Hand washing with a mild soap and water is the preferred method for cleaning.
How durable is the waffle tread outsole?
The signature Vans waffle tread outsole is known for its durability and provides excellent traction for everyday use. However, like all rubber soles, prolonged heavy use or exposure to abrasive surfaces will eventually cause wear.
What is the 'Off The Wall' heel tab?
The 'Off The Wall' tab is a signature branding element of Vans, often found on the heel of their shoes. It signifies the brand's heritage and skateboarding culture association.
Is the checkerboard pattern painted on or part of the material?
The checkerboard pattern is typically woven into or printed onto the fabric of the shoe, making it an integral part of the design rather than a surface application that can easily peel off.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
Vans offers the Slip-On style in a wide variety of colors and patterns, including different variations of the checkerboard. Please check the product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thin socks initially. The elastic inserts may loosen slightly with wear. If still too tight, consider trying a half-size larger or a different width if available.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the outsole. Try inserting a powder-free drying sheet or talcum powder under the insole if removable. Ensure the outsole is clean and dry.
Dirt on the checkerboard pattern
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub the affected area and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could fade the color.
Lining feels rough or causes irritation
Ensure your socks are well-fitting. If irritation persists, you can try wearing thicker socks or consider applying a protective bandage to the area of irritation on your foot.

Care:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Vans Slip-On trainers:
- Cleaning the Uppers: For the linen material, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid soaking the material. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Sole: The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or an old toothbrush. For scuffs on the white high-gloss taping, a magic eraser or a non-abrasive cleaning solution can be effective.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and cause shrinkage or warping.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
