FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Vans Ward Velcro trainers are not waterproof. The suede material can be damaged by excessive moisture.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the UK sizing provided. It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the size chart, ensuring there is a small amount of growing room.

Can these be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede material, as it can damage the shape and material integrity.

What is the main advantage of the Velcro straps?

The main advantage is ease of use for children, allowing them to independently put on and take off their shoes securely and quickly.

Is the camouflage pattern on all versions?

This specific product (VN0A4BUDI-JU1) features a black and camouflage design. Other variants may have different colorways.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Rip tape not sticking well

Clean the hook and loop sections of the strap with a small brush to remove lint, dirt, or debris. Ensure the area is dry before use.

Suede looking dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, test a suede cleaner on an inconspicuous area first, or use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.

Shoes feel stiff initially

Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to break in and mold to the child's feet. The padded collar should offer comfort once the shoe conforms.

Soles showing signs of wear

Regularly check the tread depth. While durable, heavy use on rough surfaces will eventually wear down the rubber sole.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Fabric & Sole: The fabric upper and rubber sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for tougher grime on the sole.
