FAQs

What is the primary material of the Vans Premium Authentic - Animal?

The uppers are primarily constructed from canvas with a bandana print, and they feature Osnaburg foxing tape.

How does the cushioning compare to standard Vans?

These trainers feature Sola Foam ADC cushioning, which is designed to provide enhanced comfort and support compared to standard models.

Are these suitable for skateboarding?

While inspired by skateboarding heritage and featuring the iconic waffle sole for grip, their premium materials and cushioning make them best suited for casual wear and lifestyle rather than heavy skateboarding use.

How do I clean the bandana print?

Clean the canvas upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this could affect the print and material.

What does 'Premium Authentic' signify?

'Premium Authentic' signifies an elevated version of the classic Vans Authentic, featuring upgraded materials, enhanced cushioning, and refined construction details.

What is the difference between this and the regular Authentic?

The Premium Authentic typically offers enhanced features such as improved cushioning (Sola Foam ADC), taller sidewalls for more support, and higher-quality materials compared to the standard Vans Authentic.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the canvas upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Excessive moisture can saturate the canvas.

Troubleshooting

Trainer feels tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size or width if available.

Discoloration on canvas

For minor marks, use a damp cloth with mild soap. For persistent stains, consult a specialist shoe cleaner suitable for canvas materials. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Outsole grip feels reduced

Clean the waffle pattern thoroughly with a brush to remove embedded dirt or debris. Ensure the surface you are walking on is dry, as any shoe's grip can be reduced on wet surfaces.
