FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

No, the Vans Ward Trainers are designed as lifestyle shoes for casual wear and everyday activities, not for high-impact sports like running.

How do I clean the suede material?

Gently brush away dry dirt with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid soaking the suede.

What is the fit like?

Vans generally offer a standard fit. It is recommended to consult the Vans size guide for accurate measurements, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.

Are these trainers waterproof?

What is the purpose of the reinforced toe cap?

Troubleshooting

Suede appears discolored or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. Avoid using water on suede unless specified by a cleaning product.

Shoe feels stiff or uncomfortable.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. The padded collar should offer comfort; ensure laces are adjusted correctly without being too tight.

Tread is losing grip.

Clean the waffle pattern on the sole to remove any embedded debris that might be affecting traction. Ensure the rubber is not excessively worn.

Shoe shape is distorted.

Avoid storing heavy items on top of the shoes. Use shoe trees or stuff them with paper when not in use to help maintain their shape.
