Vans Old Skool - Checkered - Black - Size: 5

No, these trainers are not machine washable. Machine washing can damage the suede, canvas, and adhesives. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions.

These trainers are specifically designed for toddlers, available in UK Size 5. They are crafted to meet the needs of young children learning to walk and explore.

The shoes feature double hook-and-loop (Velcro) closures instead of traditional laces. Simply pull the straps open, slide your toddler's foot in, and press the straps together to secure. This design offers a quick, adjustable, and secure fit.

Yes, they are built with durability in mind. The re-enforced toecaps, sturdy suede and canvas uppers, and signature rubber waffle outsoles are designed to withstand the typical active play of toddlers, providing support and protection.

While durable, the suede and canvas materials are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. Exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to prevent damage to the materials and to keep your toddler's feet dry.

Vans toddler sizing is generally consistent. However, foot size can vary between children. We recommend measuring your toddler's foot and referring to a standard Vans size chart if you are unsure.

Check the hook-and-loop strips for lint, dirt, or debris. Use a stiff brush or a pair of tweezers to carefully remove any obstructions. Ensure the straps are properly aligned and pressed firmly when fastening.

Ensure you have the correct size for your toddler's feet. The hook-and-loop closures allow for some adjustability; try loosening or tightening them slightly. Also, check that socks are not too thick or thin, affecting the fit. Toddler feet grow quickly, so regularly check sizing.

This is common with light-colored materials and active toddlers. Regular spot cleaning as per the care instructions (damp cloth for canvas, suede brush for suede) will help maintain their appearance. Consider using a stain and water repellent spray designed for suede and canvas to minimize dirt adherence.

While the toecaps are re-enforced for durability, scuffs are normal with active use. For suede scuffs, use a suede eraser or brush. For canvas, a gentle spot clean may help. Embrace minor wear as part of their adventurous journey!
