Full details
The Vans Ward Junior Trainers are ideal for active kids who need a durable, stylish everyday shoe that bridges the gap between classic skate aesthetics and casual comfort. Featuring a robust combination of canvas and suede, these trainers provide excellent stability for daily wear, though the suede material requires extra care to maintain its appearance compared to all-synthetic alternatives.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to hand clean the shoes to protect the suede components from damage.
Are these suitable for girls and boys?
Yes, the Vans Ward trainers are designed with a unisex aesthetic suitable for any child.
Does the suede material get ruined in the rain?
Suede is porous and can be damaged by heavy water exposure. It is best to treat them with a protective spray before wearing them in damp conditions.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I use these for skateboarding?
While they are inspired by skate shoes, they are primarily for casual fashion use.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Double-knot the laces or swap for elastic laces if the child struggles with tying traditional ones.
White edges becoming scuffed or grey
Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a damp melamine foam sponge to gently scrub the white midsole.
Shoes feel tight after long periods of wear
Loosen the lacing system at the eyelets to allow for natural foot swelling during the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, ensure laces are adjusted comfortably across the midfoot without being overtightened, which can restrict circulation. To care for your Vans Ward trainers:
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt from the canvas and suede areas.
- Spot Treatment: For stains on the canvas, use a mild soap and cold water solution with a cloth.
- Suede Protection: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray periodically to protect the material from elements.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from drying out or warping.
