FAQs

What are the Vans Authentic Trainers best suited for?

These trainers are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear. Their style makes them versatile for pairing with various casual outfits.

How do I clean the canvas upper?

Use a damp cloth to wipe off dirt. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the canvas material is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions.

What size should I order?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. These are UK men's sizes, and the specific listing is for a UK 12.

What is the main advantage of the waffle outsole?

The signature waffle outsole provides excellent grip and traction on various surfaces.

Can I wear these for sports?

While they offer comfort for light activities, they are not designed for high-impact sports and may lack the necessary support and cushioning.

What does 'Off The Wall' refer to?

'Off The Wall' is a long-standing slogan and branding element for Vans, signifying their association with skateboarding culture and a rebellious spirit.

Troubleshooting

Laces become dirty or frayed.

Replace laces with new ones. Cleaning laces separately in a wash bag can also help.

Canvas material appears stained.

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry.

Soles show signs of wear.

Regular cleaning of the sole can help prolong its life. For significant wear, professional sole repair might be an option, though often replacement is more practical for trainers.

General discoloration due to sun exposure.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors. Store away from sunlight when not in use.

Care:
