FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These Vans Ward Trainers are designed for everyday wear and light recreational activities. They offer good general traction but are not specialized athletic shoes for high-impact sports.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

It is recommended to measure your child's foot from heel to toe and compare it with the Vans sizing chart. As these are children's trainers, double-check the UK size conversion.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoes. Hand wash gently with mild soap and water.

What is the benefit of the waffle outsole?

The signature waffle outsole provides excellent grip and traction, helping to prevent slips and falls on various surfaces.

How durable are the elastic laces?

The elastic laces are designed for ease of use and a secure fit. While generally durable for everyday wear, they may stretch over prolonged periods of heavy use.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the Vans Ward series comes in various colorways and styles, including velcro options. Please check for sibling or other product variants for different color selections.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure the correct UK size has been purchased. For a temporary wider fit, loosen the elastic laces slightly. Consider stretching the shoes using a shoe stretcher if the fit is consistently too snug.

Discoloration on fabric

Spot clean gently with a mild soap and water mixture and a soft cloth. Allow to air dry. For tougher stains, consider a specialized fabric cleaner designed for sneakers.

Outsole losing grip

Clean the waffle outsole with a stiff brush to remove any debris or embedded dirt that might be reducing traction. If wear is significant, it may be time to consider a replacement pair.

Heel pull tab feels loose

Inspect the stitching around the heel pull tab. If it is loose, a simple repair with a needle and strong thread can secure it. If the material is worn, it may not be repairable.

Care: To maintain the appearance of your Vans Ward Trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the shoes with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

  3. Suede Care: If applicable to specific parts of the shoe, use a suede brush to clean and restore the nap.
