FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Vans Atwood typically has a standard width. If you have concerns about width, it's advisable to check customer reviews or consult Vans' sizing guides.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it with the Vans sizing chart available on their official website or retailer pages. Check the UK size provided.
Can these sneakers be worn in wet conditions?
While the rubber sole offers some grip, these are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or moderately damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials.
What is the main advantage of the waffle outsole?
The Original Rubber Waffle Outsole is designed to provide superior grip and traction, which is beneficial for skateboarding and preventing slips.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, Vans Atwood sneakers should not be put in a washing machine. Cleaning should be done by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, followed by air drying.
What does 'Vulcanized Construction' mean for the shoe?
Vulcanized construction involves bonding the sole to the upper using heat and pressure. This method creates a durable, flexible shoe with excellent board feel, common in skate shoes.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.
Slight stiffness during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Bending the soles manually can also help soften them.
Dirt accumulation on the sole
Use a stiff brush or an old toothbrush to clean the grooves of the waffle outsole after use.
