FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for skating?
While they retain the classic waffle grip, the embroidered detailing and pins make them better suited for lifestyle and fashion wear rather than high-impact skating.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual Vans size as the Style 36 fits true to size.
Can I remove the pins?
The pins are part of the design. Attempting to remove them may leave holes or damage the surrounding canvas material.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the canvas and leather combination is not waterproof. We recommend using a water-repellent spray designed for leather and canvas to provide basic protection.
What is the Sola Foam ADC footbed?
It is a modern, bio-based polyurethane foam footbed designed to provide enhanced cushioning and durability compared to standard flat-sole inserts.
Do they require a break-in period?
The shoes are designed for comfort from the start, though the leather panels may soften slightly with consistent wear.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty cleaning embroidered areas
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clear debris between threads rather than scrubbing with a cloth.
Outsole loses its vintage glossy look
Gently wipe the sidewalls with a damp cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could strip the finish.
Comfort reduction over time
Remove the Sola Foam ADC footbed, air it out, and ensure it is placed back correctly to restore cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear immediately. Due to the delicate nature of the embroidered artwork and distressed metal pins, avoid machine washing or using abrasive brushes. To maintain the material integrity, use a soft, dry cloth to remove loose surface dirt from the canvas and leather. If spot cleaning is necessary, use a mild leather-safe cleaner on the leather panels and a very gentle, damp cloth for the canvas areas, taking care to avoid snagging the embroidery threads. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the canvas from fading and to maintain the glossy finish of the sidewalls.
