FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?

These trainers are designed for casual, everyday wear and light activities like walking and playing. For rigorous sports, specialized athletic footwear is recommended.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Vans or the retailer. It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it with the listed UK kids' sizes. Ensure there is a small amount of growing room.

Can the elastic laces be removed or replaced?

The elastic laces are integrated into the design for ease of use and are not typically designed to be removed or replaced by the user.

What is the main advantage of the elastic lace system?

The primary advantage is convenience. Children can easily put on and take off the shoes themselves, promoting independence.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are made from textile, leather, and rubber, offering protection from light moisture but are not suitable for wet conditions.

How often should I clean the trainers?

Clean the trainers as needed, especially after significant wear or exposure to dirt. Regular spot cleaning will help maintain their appearance and longevity.

What is the material composition of the upper?

The uppers are composed of 80% textile and 20% leather.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure the correct size has been selected. If the shoes are new, they may need a short break-in period. The elastic laces offer some flexibility, but for significant tightness, consider a half-size larger.

Elastic laces are stretched out

While not adjustable, the elastic laces are designed for durability. If they become excessively stretched, it may be time to consider a new pair of shoes.

Discoloration or scuff marks on uppers

For textile areas, use a damp cloth and mild soap. For leather parts, use a specialized leather cleaner. Address scuffs promptly to prevent them from setting.

Sole detaching slightly

For minor separation, a strong adhesive designed for rubber and fabric may be used for repair. If the detachment is significant, professional repair or replacement might be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Vans Authentic Elastic Lace Trainers are designed for casual wear and are compatible with a wide range of children's clothing. They are suitable for general everyday use.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Uppers: Wipe the textile and leather uppers with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing.
  2. Lining: The textile lining can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth.
  3. Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Ensure all dirt and debris are removed.
  4. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  5. Leather Care: If the leather elements appear dry, a suitable leather conditioner can be applied sparingly after cleaning.
