FAQs
Are Vans Authentic sneakers suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, the Vans Authentic is an iconic choice for skateboarding. Its durable canvas upper and particularly the Vans Original Waffle Outsole provide excellent grip and board feel.
How do I clean my Vans Authentic shoes?
For cleaning, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap or shoe cleaner. Gently scrub the canvas and outsole. Air dry completely away from direct heat. Do not machine wash.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
The Vans Authentic includes an EVA insert for added support. For individuals requiring significant arch support, personal orthotic insoles may be considered for enhanced comfort.
What is the benefit of the 'Waffle Outsole'?
The Vans Original Waffle Outsole is renowned for its superior grip and traction, offering stability and control, especially beneficial for skateboarding and active everyday wear.
Are Vans Authentic sneakers true to size?
Vans Authentic sneakers generally fit true to size for most individuals. We recommend referring to a size chart if you are unsure or between sizes. This specific product is UK Size 3.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The canvas upper is not waterproof. While they can handle light dampness, they are best suited for dry conditions. Prolonged exposure to water is not recommended.
Troubleshooting
Laces frequently come undone
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. You can also adjust the tension of the laces throughout the eyelets for a firmer hold.
Canvas appears dirty or stained
Spot clean the affected area using a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent or shoe cleaner. Gently rub in a circular motion and wipe clean. Air dry thoroughly.
Feet feel warm or less breathable
While the cotton drill lining offers breathability, ensuring you wear appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking cotton blends) can further enhance comfort. Allow shoes to air out between wears.
Squeaking sound when walking
Often, this is due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the EVA insert, dusting a small amount of baby powder underneath it, and then reinserting it. Ensure laces are tied securely.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Vans Authentic sneakers:
- Cleaning the Canvas: For dirt and stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap or shoe cleaner. Gently scrub the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
- Outsole Cleaning: The Waffle Outsole can be cleaned with a stiff brush or old toothbrush to remove dirt and debris, maintaining its grip.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand if they are dirty.
- Drying: Air dry your sneakers away from direct sunlight or heat, which can damage the canvas and adhesives. Do not put them in a dryer.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and maintain their shape.
Do not machine wash your Vans Authentic sneakers, as this can damage the materials and construction.
