FAQs

What is the platform height of these shoes?

The platform height measures approximately 34 mm.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Classic Slip-On typically has a standard fit. If you have wide feet, it is recommended to try them on first or consider sizing up.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The canvas upper is not waterproof. While the rubber sole offers some protection, they are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.

How do I clean the checkered pattern?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently clean the canvas. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the pattern.

What is the main difference between these and regular Vans Slip-Ons?

The primary difference is the addition of a chunky platform sole, which adds extra height and a more contemporary aesthetic.

Are they true to size?

Vans generally run true to size, but the platform sole can sometimes feel a bit snugger. If you are between sizes, it's often recommended to go up half a size.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them with socks for a few hours each day to allow the canvas to stretch slightly. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your foot measurement.

Soles feel slippery initially

The waffle sole might have a slight residue from manufacturing. Wear them in dry conditions for a short period to naturally break them in; the grip will improve.

Difficulty slipping shoe on

Ensure the elastic side panels are not obstructed. Gently pull the shoe on by the heel tab. If consistently difficult, consider if the size is appropriate.

Canvas shows dirt easily

Regularly wipe down the canvas with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, consider using a specialized canvas shoe cleaner.
