FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult UK sizes.
Can these be washed in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and adhesive. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Do these provide arch support?
The SK8-HI series features a flat footbed. If you require significant arch support, consider adding an aftermarket insole.
Is the material real leather or faux leather?
This specific model features genuine leather construction, which is known for its durability.
How do I maintain the black leather finish?
Use a leather conditioner occasionally to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out.
Troubleshooting
Stiff leather feel during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.
Scuff marks on the white rubber midsole
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a damp cloth with mild detergent to gently scrub away marks.
Difficulty putting on the high-top style
Loosen the top three eyelets of the laces entirely to create a wider opening for the foot to slide in comfortably.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care for your leather Vans will ensure they stay looking fresh for years. To clean the leather upper, use a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that may cause discoloration. For the white rubber soles, a magic eraser or specialized sneaker cleaner can remove scuffs effectively. When lacing, ensure you leave enough room at the top eyelets if you prefer a looser fit, or pull them snug for maximum ankle support. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading.
