FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Vans Slip-On 98 DX generally fits true to standard UK sizing.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, heat from a dryer can damage the rubber foxing and cause the canvas to warp or shrink.
Do these have removable insoles?
The 98 DX series typically features a fixed insole integrated into the construction.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The slip-on silhouette is relatively standard, but the elastic side panels provide some flexibility for wider feet.
What is the difference between the 98 DX and standard slip-ons?
The 98 DX refers to the 'Deluxe' line, which uses original-style materials and details to honor the heritage of the first Vans factory.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage while walking
Ensure the size is correct; if slippage persists, use a thin adhesive heel grip or slightly thicker socks to fill the volume.
Canvas becoming stained
Gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush and a mixture of water and mild detergent; air dry away from direct sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-ons, there is no setup required; simply slide your foot into the shoe. To maintain the grey and white colorway, spot-clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the glue bond between the canvas upper and the rubber sole. For optimal fit, ensure you are selecting the correct UK size, as the slip-on design relies on a snug fit to keep the shoe secure while walking.
