FAQs
Are these suitable for professional skateboarding?
While durable and offering good grip, these Authentic trainers are best suited for casual skateboarding and everyday wear rather than high-impact professional use, which might require more specialized skate shoes.
How do I choose the right size?
Vans Authentic trainers generally fit true to size for most people. It is recommended to check the size chart and consider if you prefer a snugger or looser fit. The product information lists this as UK size 5.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash Vans Authentic trainers, especially those with suede. Machine washing can damage the materials, glue, and shape of the shoe. Spot cleaning and hand washing are preferred methods.
How do I clean the yellow and black colors?
For the yellow and black areas, use appropriate cleaning methods for suede and canvas as described in the 'Care Instructions'. Use minimal water on the suede to prevent discoloration.
What is the warranty on these trainers?
Warranty information can vary. Please refer to the retailer's or manufacturer's official website for specific warranty details pertaining to this product model.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. The canvas and suede materials are absorbent. A waterproofing spray can offer some resistance to water and stains, but they are not designed for wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and wear them around the house with thicker socks. If still tight, consider using shoe stretchers or consult a cobbler.
Suede is stained or discolored
Use a dedicated suede cleaner and a suede brush. For tough stains, act quickly and follow the cleaner's instructions carefully. Protect suede with a waterproofing spray after cleaning.
Rubber sole is dirty
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a magic eraser or a mild soap solution with a brush.
Laces are worn out
Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length. Vans offers replacement laces, or you can find them at most shoe retailers.
