FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Vans Authentic Hi range is generally considered true to standard UK shoe sizes.
Can I wear these for skating?
While durable, these are lifestyle trainers. For high-impact skating, consider dedicated Vans Pro models with additional reinforcement.
How do I keep the white parts clean?
Use a soft toothbrush and a mixture of baking soda and water to gently scrub the white rubber sidewalls.
Do these provide enough arch support?
They offer standard flat-sole support. If you require significant arch support, adding an aftermarket orthotic insole is recommended.
Are these suitable for winter?
They are best suited for dry conditions. Because they are made of canvas, they are not insulated or water-resistant for heavy snow or rain.
Troubleshooting
Canvas becoming discolored
Use a specialized canvas cleaner or a mild detergent mix; avoid bleaching agents that can distort the black and white pattern.
Laces constantly coming untied
Consider using a double knot or replacing them with higher-friction cotton laces.
Soles losing grip on slick surfaces
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or debris.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Sturdy construction ensures long-term wear
- Excellent ankle support provided by the high-top cut

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Vans Authentic Hi, ensure you lace them snugly to take advantage of the high-top support. To maintain the crisp black and white appearance, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the canvas over time. If they get dirty, spot-clean them using a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid machine washing, as the agitation can damage the adhesive bonds between the sole and the upper. If the insoles become worn, they are typically compatible with aftermarket comfort inserts should you require additional arch support.
