FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though the slip-on style is designed to have a snug fit.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, you should never put your Vans in the dryer as the heat can melt the adhesive and shrink the materials.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
No, these are casual lifestyle shoes and do not provide the cushioning or support required for running.
How do I maintain the black canvas color?
Keep them out of prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading and use a soft brush to remove dust regularly.
Does the Vans Slip-On 98 come in different widths?
The model is manufactured in a standard width; the canvas material will naturally conform to your foot shape over time.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during the first few wears
Vans often require a short break-in period where the canvas relaxes; try wearing them for shorter durations initially.
Outsole losing traction due to debris
Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove small stones or compacted dirt from the waffle tread pattern.
Visible scuffs on the rubber midsole
Gently wipe the rubber sides with a pencil eraser or a melamine cleaning sponge to lift surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box with no complex setup required. Since they are low-profile, they pair naturally with no-show socks or ankle socks for a clean, streamlined look. To keep your Vans in top condition, spot clean the canvas upper with a mild detergent and a soft brush. Avoid using a washing machine, as the agitation can compromise the rubber adhesive. For the outsole, a damp cloth is typically enough to remove dirt buildup. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
