Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Authentic trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short durations indoors for the first few days to allow the materials to soften.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the soles and upper. For deeper stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth; avoid machine washing as it may compromise the glue bonds.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Insoles: If you require extra arch support, the factory insoles can be replaced with aftermarket orthotics that fit the flat, low-profile interior.
