Proper care will help extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Vans Authentic trainers:
Spot Cleaning: For dirt or stains on the canvas, use a mild soap (like dish soap) mixed with cool water. Dip a soft brush or cloth into the solution and gently scrub the affected area. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
Sole Cleaning: Use a brush or old toothbrush with soap and water to clean the rubber waffle outsole and sidewalls.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause the canvas to fade or stiffen. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your Vans Authentic trainers, as this can damage the canvas, glue, and overall structure of the shoe.
Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and maintain their condition.
