FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
Vans recommends against machine washing to preserve the integrity of the materials and glue. Spot cleaning is the preferred method.
Do these shoes come in half sizes?
Yes, the Vans Old Skool series for toddlers is available in a variety of half-size increments to ensure the best fit.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the design and colorway are suitable for any toddler.
What is the best way to clean the white rubber?
A magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap works effectively to remove scuffs from the white rubber outsole.
How do I know if they fit correctly?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for growth and comfort.
Can the straps be replaced if they wear out?
The straps are permanently attached as part of the shoe construction and are not designed to be replaced.
Troubleshooting
Straps not staying fastened
Check the hook-and-loop surface for trapped lint, hair, or debris and remove with a small brush or tweezers to restore stickiness.
Difficulty putting shoes on
Ensure the straps are fully loosened and the tongue is pulled forward before inserting the child's foot.
Rubber soles becoming slippery
Wipe the bottom of the soles with a damp cloth to remove dust buildup that can affect grip performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vans, check the sizing regularly as toddler feet grow quickly. For daily care, gently wipe the white rubber midsole with a damp cloth to remove mud or scuffs. For the animal-patterned upper, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals, as this can degrade the adhesive used in the construction. When storing, keep the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant purple fabric from fading.
