FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?

Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, they generally run true to standard UK sizing for adult footwear.
Are they suitable for skateboarding?
While the Authentic line is based on classic skate heritage, they are currently marketed more as casual trainers; for heavy skate use, consider Vans Pro models with additional reinforcement.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While durable, the canvas upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, durable cotton canvas.
Is the sole flexible?
Yes, the vulcanized rubber sole is designed to be flexible, providing natural movement and excellent board feel.
Troubleshooting
White parts of the shoe look dingy
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the affected areas.
Foot feels tired after long periods of walking
Consider adding a slim, third-party orthotic insole to provide the additional arch support required for extended standing.
Laces constantly coming undone
Ensure they are laced tightly or double-knot the laces to maintain tension throughout the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Wallpaper Authentic trainers maintain their appearance, follow these care steps:
