FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing for adults.
Can I put my Vans in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the construction and glue; it is recommended to spot clean only.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
No, these are fashion trainers designed for casual wear and are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.
Do these shoes come with a warranty?
Please check with your specific retailer regarding the return and warranty policies for your purchase.
Is the material waterproof?
The standard canvas and suede construction is water-resistant to a degree but not waterproof; using a fabric protectant spray is recommended.
Troubleshooting

Use a soft-bristled garment brush to gently remove surface debris.
The white rubber foxing has scuffs.
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to scrub the rubber edges gently.

Wear them for short periods around the house with mid-weight socks to help the material soften naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK shoe size. Since these are a unisex model, the sizing remains consistent across the range. To care for your Vans, avoid machine washing, which can damage the adhesive and material structure. Instead, spot clean with a soft brush and mild soap. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the rubber or glue from warping. Using a waterproofing spray for fabric can help protect the outer material from light stains and moisture.
