Product Information
Full details
The Vans Authentic trainers are a classic, versatile choice for adults looking for a timeless, casual sneaker that pairs well with almost any outfit. Featuring the iconic 1966 silhouette, these shoes provide reliable comfort and a durable grip thanks to the signature waffle bottom construction, though they offer minimal arch support, which may be a consideration for those requiring orthotic-friendly footwear for long walks.

FAQs
Are Vans Authentic shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK adult sizes.
Can I put my Vans in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as heat and excessive water can break down the glue and damage the shoe structure.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
No, they have a flat footbed; if you need arch support, adding an insole is recommended.
What material is the upper made of?
The classic Authentic model features a durable, breathable canvas upper.
Is the sole slip-resistant?
The signature waffle tread provides good traction on most standard surfaces.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The canvas material provides some natural stretch over time, but they have a standard narrow-to-medium fit.
Troubleshooting
Canvas becoming dirty
Gently scrub with a mix of water and mild detergent using a toothbrush and let air dry.
Laces becoming untied frequently
Replace standard laces with textured cotton laces or use a double knot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Vans Authentic looking fresh, avoid machine washing, which can damage the vulcanized bonding. Instead, spot clean the canvas with a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive degradation. Ensure you verify your UK sizing as these shoes typically fit true to size. If you possess wider feet, consider wearing them with thinner socks initially to allow the canvas to stretch and mold naturally to your foot shape.
