FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Vans generally run true to size, but it's always recommended to check the size chart or try them on if possible. If you're between sizes, consider going up half a size.

How do I clean the satin upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the satin. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, do not put these shoes in the washing machine. Washing machines can damage the satin material and the vulcanized sole. Clean them by hand.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

You can wear any type of socks with these shoes. However, no-show socks are popular because they make the shoes more stylish, especially in warmer weather.

Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?

While these shoes have a durable sole, they are not specifically designed for skateboarding. Consider a dedicated skateboarding shoe for better performance and support.

How do I protect the satin material?

Use a fabric protector spray designed for delicate materials. This will help repel stains and protect the satin from the elements.

Where can I find replacement laces?

Replacement laces can be found at most shoe stores or online retailers that sell Vans products. Measure your original laces to ensure the correct length.

Troubleshooting

Stains on the satin upper

Gently blot the stain with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid rubbing the stain vigorously, as this could damage the material.

Sole separation

If the sole begins to separate, it is recommended to take the shoes to a professional cobbler for repair.

Color fading

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean the shoes regularly to prevent dirt buildup, which can accelerate fading.
