FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?

Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your Vans, as this can degrade the glue and materials. Spot cleaning is the preferred method.
What is the Anaheim Factory series?
The Anaheim Factory series pays tribute to the original Vans factory in Anaheim, California, by incorporating details from the original 1966 designs.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
They feature a flat-sole design with minimal arch support, characteristic of the classic Authentic model.
Are these suitable for skateboarding?
While originally designed for skate, modern performance standards often use specialized technical shoes; however, these remain popular for their board feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff when new
Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the canvas to soften and mold to your foot shape.
Visible dirt on the white rubber foxing
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a damp cloth with a mild detergent and a soft brush to gently scrub the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans maintain their appearance, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean the canvas with a soft brush and mild soap. For the rubber soles, a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild detergent works effectively to remove scuffs and dirt. These shoes fit standard UK sizing; however, ensure you wear socks with the correct weight for your preferred fit, as the canvas does not provide much stretch.
