Product Information

Full details

The Vans Ward Platform Trainers are designed for women who want to blend classic skate-inspired aesthetics with a contemporary, elevated silhouette. Ideal for daily wear, these trainers provide a comfortable, cushioned experience thanks to their signature vulcanized midsole and padded ankle collar, though users should be aware that the 3cm platform sole adds significant weight compared to standard flat-soled canvas shoes.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

Vans does not recommend machine washing these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the suede and adhesive. Spot cleaning is the safest method.

How much height does the platform add?

The platform sole adds approximately 3cm to your height.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The lace-up design allows for some adjustment, but the Vans Ward series generally offers a standard width fit.

Can I remove the insoles?

The insoles are generally glued down as part of the vulcanization process and are not intended to be removed.

Do I need to spray these with a protector?

Yes, using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for canvas and suede is recommended to help keep the black upper looking clean.

Troubleshooting

White platform sole getting scuffed

Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a melamine sponge (magic eraser) to gently lift scuff marks from the vulcanized rubber.

Laces coming untied frequently

Try using a double knot or look into a 'surgeon's knot' technique to keep the laces secure throughout the day.

Material showing signs of creasing

Creasing is natural for canvas footwear. To minimize this, use a shoe tree when the shoes are not being worn to help them retain their structural integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Adds noticeable height without compromising stability
Reinforced suede areas protect high-wear sections
Versatile black and white design matches most outfits
Padded ankle support reduces break-in time

Cons

Platform sole increases the overall weight of the shoe
Canvas material can be difficult to clean if stained
Not suitable for high-intensity athletic activities

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension before your first wear. To maintain the appearance of the shoes, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the canvas. For the suede portions, use a specialized suede eraser or brush to restore the nap; avoid getting the suede overly wet, as this can cause discoloration. Since these are standard UK size 4, they fit true to size for most, but if you intend to wear thick winter socks, you may want to consider this when adjusting the lacing pattern.
