FAQs
Are the Vans Authentic 44 true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for a snug skate-ready fit or a slightly roomier casual fit.
Can I wash these in a machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the water and agitation can damage the suede material and weaken the adhesive.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from high-quality suede, and the sole is made from durable vulcanized rubber.
Is this model suitable for professional skating?
Yes, the Authentic 44 is designed with a thick, durable sole specifically for the board control required in skating.
How do I prevent the suede from fading?
Keep the shoes out of direct, prolonged sunlight and apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray regularly.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft suede brush to gently lift the fibers in a consistent direction.
Minor scuffs on the rubber sole
Use a melamine sponge or a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away surface marks.
Shoes feeling too stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the material to flex and conform to your foot shape.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Classic, versatile aesthetic suitable for any casual wardrobe
- Sturdy construction ideal for both skateboarding and daily wear
- Provides excellent grip and board control
- Premium suede material offers a high-quality feel
Cons
- Suede material is prone to staining if not protected
- Limited arch support compared to modern athletic performance trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes last, keep them away from heavy moisture, which can damage the suede fibers. If the suede gets dusty, use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap. For the rubber sole, a damp cloth or a gentle sponge with mild soap is sufficient to remove scuffs. Since these are low-top trainers, they pair well with both slim-fit denim and relaxed chino pants. Always ensure you are selecting the correct UK size, such as 9.5, to ensure the firm fit required for skate performance.
