To ensure your Vans Authentic Trainers remain in excellent condition, follow these care tips:
Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or scuffs, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently rub the affected area.
Deep Cleaning (Canvas): Mix mild soap with cool water. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to scrub the canvas gently. Avoid saturating the shoe with water.
Sole Cleaning: Use a brush and soapy water to clean the rubber waffle sole, removing any dirt or debris for optimal grip.
Drying: Allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage the canvas and rubber.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent fading and material degradation.
Do NOT machine wash your Vans, as this can damage the structure and materials.
