FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the trainers. Spot clean only.

What should I do if the shoes get wet?

Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid using heaters or direct heat, as this can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink.

Are they true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK adult sizing, though it is always recommended to check your fit based on previous Vans models.

Can I use a waterproofing spray?

Yes, using a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray is recommended to help protect the material from the elements.

What is the primary material used?

The exterior upper is constructed from high-quality suede, while the outsole is made from durable rubber.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dusty

Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap of the material.

Surface stains appearing on the suede

Gently rub the affected area with a suede eraser; avoid using water or standard soap.

Loss of traction on smooth floors

Ensure the bottom waffle tread is clean and free of embedded pebbles or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Vans Brooklyn Trainers last, keep them away from excessive moisture. Since they are made of suede, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt after each wear. For minor scuffs, a dedicated suede eraser is highly recommended. Compatibility-wise, these trainers feature a standard lace-up closure that allows for an adjustable fit tailored to your foot shape. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey colour from fading over time.
