FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?

Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can severely damage the suede material and cause the glue to lose its bond.
How do I protect the suede from stains?
It is highly recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first use.
Does this model feature arch support?
The shoes feature standard Vans cushioning but do not provide high-level orthopedic arch support.
Can these be worn for skating?
While based on the classic design, the suede construction provides decent durability for casual skating, though specialized pro models may offer more advanced impact protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are made from suede, they do not require a 'break-in' period like stiffer leather models, offering comfort right out of the box. To maintain their condition, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions, as water can permanently damage the suede nap. We recommend using a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a specialized suede eraser for spot cleaning any marks. If the shoes become damp, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from warping or stiffening.
