FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash Vans. Hand cleaning is safer for the materials and ensures the glue remains intact.

Do these shoes provide good arch support?

The Authentic series features a flat, minimalist footbed. If you require significant arch support, you may consider adding an aftermarket orthotic insole.

How do I find my correct size?

These shoes generally fit true to size based on standard UK adult sizing. Use the size guide if you are between measurements.

Can I wear these in the rain?

While durable, the canvas upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to prevent staining and saturation.

How often should I clean the white fabric?

Cleaning frequency depends on your environment. Regular light brushing helps prevent dust from settling into the canvas fibers.

Troubleshooting

Visible scuffs on white canvas

Use a specialized canvas cleaner or a gentle mixture of baking soda and water to spot-treat the area.

Rubber foxing showing dirt or yellowing

Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the rubber sidewalls.

Shoes feeling too tight initially

The canvas upper will stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them for short periods around the house to facilitate the break-in process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When purchasing the Vans Authentic, ensure you refer to standard UK sizing for the best fit. Since the upper is made of canvas, these shoes will naturally break in and conform to your foot shape after a few wears. To keep your white Vans looking new, avoid machine washing, which can damage the adhesive. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and warm water to spot-clean any surface stains. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the rubber from warping or yellowing.
