FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Vans Ward series generally fits true to standard UK shoe sizing.

Can these be used for skateboarding?

While they feature reinforced toe caps, they are designed as lifestyle trainers, though they are suitable for casual, light skating.

How do I prevent the red colour from fading?

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and do not use harsh chemical cleaners on the fabric.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

The Vans Ward trainers provide a standard, flat footbed design; if you require heavy arch support, you may wish to use aftermarket insoles.

Are they waterproof?

No, these are made of standard textile/canvas materials and are not intended for use in wet or rainy conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during the first few wears

Loosen the laces significantly and wear thin socks to allow the canvas upper to stretch and mold to your feet naturally.

Visible dirt on the surface

Gently scrub the area with a mixture of mild detergent and water, then air dry completely away from heat sources.

Laces coming undone frequently

Try a double knot or replace with slightly textured athletic laces to increase friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Vans Ward trainers maintain their appearance, follow these simple maintenance steps:

  1. Breaking In: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine as this can damage the structural integrity.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the red colour from fading over time.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard lace-up closure, allowing you to adjust the fit according to your preference for tight or loose support.
