Vans SK8-Mid Reissue Trainers - Blue - Grey - UK 4

The Vans SK8-Mid Reissue generally offers a standard fit. If you have wider feet, you might find they fit snugly. We recommend trying them on if possible or checking reviews from users with similar foot widths.

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, the glue, and alter the shape of the trainers. Hand wash with mild soap and water, or use specialized cleaners for suede.

Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Walking around the house for a few hours at a time can help break them in comfortably without causing blisters.

The SK8-Mid Reissue features a mid-top silhouette, offering more ankle coverage and support than classic low-top models like the Old Skool, but less than high-top models. It retains the core Vans design elements.

The material is designed for everyday wear. While reasonably durable, like most canvas and suede shoes, it can be susceptible to scuffs and fading over time with heavy use and exposure to the elements.

Most casual socks work well. For comfort and to prevent rubbing, especially during the break-in period, thicker casual socks are often preferred. Ankle socks or crew socks are common choices.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Consider using a fabric protector specifically designed for coloured fabrics.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Ensure shoes are completely dry before brushing.

Replace laces as needed. Standard trainer laces can be used. Ensure new laces are the appropriate length for the number of eyelets.
