FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
While the siped tread offers great grip, these are primarily designed for everyday lifestyle use rather than heavy-duty sports.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede and leather components as well as the vulcanized bond of the sole.
How do these fit compared to other Vans?
They generally follow standard Vans sizing, but the structured leather/suede construction may feel slightly more rigid during the initial break-in period.
What is the purpose of the siping?
Siping consists of thin slits cut into the rubber sole to increase friction and improve grip on wet or smooth surfaces.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
They are not waterproof. We recommend applying a high-quality water repellent spray to protect the materials.
What does the 44 in the name signify?
It refers to the specific archival design heritage of the Vans Authentic series, updated with modern materials.
Troubleshooting
Sole losing grip over time
Clean the outsole with a mild soap and warm water to remove debris trapped in the micro-siping.
Suede showing water stains
Use a specialized suede eraser and brush set to buff out the stains once the material is completely dry.
General discoloration
Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for colored leather to restore the finish without stripping the pigment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are constructed from leather and suede, they should be treated before their first use with a protective spray specifically formulated for mixed-material footwear. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt from the suede panels. For the leather portions, a damp cloth is usually sufficient for cleaning. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the natural materials and affect the bond of the vulcanized outsole.
