FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Vans Upland Trainers offer a standard unisex fit. While they are generally comfortable, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It is recommended to try them on if possible.
What material are the uppers made of?
The uppers are made from a combination of durable suede and synthetic materials.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede and structural integrity of the shoe.
How should I store my Vans Upland Trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or dust bag, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
What does 'Cold cement cupsole' mean?
This refers to the construction method where the sole is attached to the upper using a cold cement process, providing a durable and supportive base.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The Vans Upland Trainers are not waterproof. The suede material is particularly susceptible to water damage and staining.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Please refer to the retailer or Vans official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to lift dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are worn or damaged
Replace laces with standard shoelaces. You can find replacements online or at shoe care stores.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean. For persistent slipperiness, consider the environmental conditions; the sole is designed for general wear, not extreme conditions.
Padding around the ankle feels stiff
Wear the shoes with socks for a few days to allow the padding to break in and mold to your foot.
