FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Vans Ward trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday use. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for running or high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean the red suede material?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner or a very lightly dampened cloth, and always allow to air dry completely. Avoid excessive water.
What is the main difference between Ward and other Vans styles like Old Skool?
The Vans Ward is very similar to the Old Skool, often featuring the same iconic sidestripe. Differences can sometimes be subtle, relating to specific material choices, sole construction details, or slight variations in fit and padding.
What is the typical lifespan of Vans Ward trainers?
With proper care and regular use, Vans Ward trainers can last for several years. Durability depends on the frequency of wear, the activities performed while wearing them, and adherence to care instructions.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the shoes can handle light moisture, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain can saturate the materials and may lead to color bleeding. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions or to use protective sprays.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
Yes, the Vans Ward style is available in a wide variety of colors and material combinations, including black, white, green, and more. Specific availability may vary.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If still uncomfortable, consult the Vans size guide or try a different size. Note that some styles may fit differently.
Red color bleeding
This can sometimes occur with new, dark-colored footwear. Wear with darker socks initially and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. If significant bleeding occurs, contact customer support.
Sole separation or damage
For minor issues, a strong adhesive designed for footwear may offer a temporary fix. For significant damage, professional repair or replacement might be necessary. Contact Vans customer service if within the warranty period.
Laces fraying
Replace frayed laces with standard flat shoelaces. Ensure they are the correct length for the shoe.
