FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the canvas construction is breathable but will absorb moisture. We recommend applying a textile-safe water repellent spray if you plan to wear them in damp conditions.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is generally not recommended as the machine agitation can damage the rubber foxing and glue. Stick to hand-cleaning for better longevity.
Do these provide arch support?
The Slip-on Reissue 98 features a standard footbed. For those requiring extra arch support, replacing the factory insole with an aftermarket orthotic insert is a common practice.
Are these trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing for Vans products.
Can I wear these for skating?
While they feature a durable waffle outsole, this specific reissue is styled for casual fashion. If you are looking for technical skate performance, consider the Vans Pro models.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear.
Canvas material often requires a short break-in period. Wear them with thin socks for short intervals to allow the fabric to stretch and conform to your foot shape.
Visible dirt on the white rubber midsole.
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with a small amount of baking soda to gently scrub the rubber sidewalls until clean.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Spot clean the canvas upper with a mild detergent and a soft brush.
- Drying: Air dry only; do not place the shoes in direct heat or a tumble dryer, as this can degrade the rubber bond.
- Deodorizing: Use sneaker balls or specialized shoe spray if odor develops after long-term wear.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew or discoloration of the canvas.
