FAQs

Are the Vans Ward suitable for wide feet?

The Vans Ward generally has a standard fit. If you have wide feet, they might feel snug initially. Consider trying them on or looking for reviews specifically addressing width.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes like the Vans Ward in wet weather, as it can damage the material and cause staining. Consider treating them with a water-repellent spray for light protection.

How do I clean the white rubber sole?

You can clean the white rubber sole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher scuffs, a magic eraser or a toothbrush with baking soda paste can be effective.

What is the main difference between the Ward and other Vans models like the Old Skool?

The Vans Ward often features a slightly more padded collar and a more distinct sidestripe design compared to models like the Old Skool, offering a similar but subtly differentiated aesthetic and comfort profile.

Do these sneakers require breaking in?

Like most casual sneakers, the Vans Ward may require a short break-in period. Wearing them for short durations initially can help them conform to your foot shape for optimal comfort.

What materials are the Vans Ward made from?

The Vans Ward typically features a combination of suede and canvas for the upper, with a cushioned midsole and a signature rubber waffle outsole.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Protect with a suede protector spray.

Laces are difficult to keep tied

Ensure laces are properly threaded through eyelets and tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.

Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable

Wear with thin socks initially to allow the shoe to mold to your foot. If still uncomfortable, ensure you have the correct size. Suede and canvas can stretch slightly over time.

Traction seems reduced

Clean the rubber waffle outsole with water to remove any debris that might be hindering grip. Ensure the sole is dry.
