FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, the Chukka Low series is built with the performance features characteristic of Vans skate shoes.
How should I clean the cream-colored sections?
Use a gentle suede or leather cleaner specifically formulated for light-colored materials to prevent staining.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, these shoes generally follow standard adult UK sizing conventions.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.
Are these shoes waterproof?

Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows scuffs
Gently buff the scuffed area with a clean, dry microfiber cloth or a leather conditioning balm.
Footbed feels too firm initially
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally conform to the shape of your feet.
Laces becoming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets evenly and consider a double knot if walking for extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes are constructed from leather, they arrive ready for immediate use. To ensure the longest lifespan for your pair, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh laundry detergents. For general maintenance, wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If you encounter stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner or a lightly dampened cloth with a mild soap solution. Always allow the leather to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to crack or stiffen. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks to maintain comfort and hygiene throughout the day.
