FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skating?
While based on the original skate design, the Souvenir series is primarily intended for lifestyle and fashion wear.
How do I clean the canvas portions?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt, followed by a damp cloth with mild soap for any stubborn stains.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing for adults.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, you should never place your trainers in the dryer as the heat will warp the rubber and degrade the glue.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles in this model are generally fixed; we recommend using orthotics on top if extra support is needed.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on the rubber sole
Gently scrub the affected area with a damp magic eraser or a soft cloth dipped in warm, soapy water.
Accumulation of dust on suede panels
Use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt and restore the texture of the material.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the shoes to help maintain their original shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. To ensure longevity, avoid machine washing, which can damage the adhesive and material integrity. Instead, spot clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaning solution formulated for canvas and suede. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent color fading. For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size, as the sizing is consistent with traditional Vans models.
