Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Pewter Vans Authentic Trainers:
Cleaning the Canvas: For minor dirt or smudges, gently brush off loose debris. For stains, mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap or canvas cleaner) with cool water. Dip a soft brush or cloth into the solution and gently scrub the affected area. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and blot dry with a clean towel.
Cleaning the Waffle Outsole: Use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) and water to scrub away dirt and grime from the rubber outsole.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the canvas or rubber.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry your Vans, as this can severely damage their structure, color, and materials.
Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and maintain their shape.
