FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Vans Era fits true to standard UK adult sizing. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort.
Can I use these for skateboarding?
Absolutely. The Era was originally designed for skateboarding and features the necessary grip and durability for the sport.
Are these machine washable?
We do not recommend machine washing, as the agitation and heat can damage the glue holding the soles to the upper.
Do these provide arch support?
The Vans Era has a relatively flat footbed. If you require significant arch support, consider adding an aftermarket insole.
Is the pink color prone to fading?
Like any dyed canvas, prolonged exposure to direct, harsh sunlight can cause color fading. Store them in a cool, dark place when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff after purchase
Wear them for short periods indoors with thicker socks to gradually break in the canvas upper.
Scuffs on the rubber midsole
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild abrasive cleaner to gently buff away black scuff marks.
Laces coming untied frequently
Replace the stock laces with flat, textured cotton laces which provide better friction and stay tied longer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are a classic lace-up shoe, ensuring a proper fit is essential. The Vans Era typically fits true to size, but users with wider feet may find the toe box snug initially. To care for your shoes, spot clean the canvas with a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the rubber bonding and damage the structural integrity of the canvas. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from shrinking or warping.
