Vans Old Skool 2 V Toddler Canvas Shoes - Blue - Size: 6

Yes, the flexible rubber waffle outsoles provide good ground feel and support, which is beneficial for toddlers who are taking their first steps and developing their walking skills.

The best way is to measure your toddler's foot length and compare it to Vans' sizing chart. When trying them on, ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe, and that the rip-tape straps allow for a snug but not overly tight fit.

No, it's not recommended to machine wash these shoes, especially due to the suede material and construction. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and compromise the shoe's structure. Always opt for spot cleaning and air drying.

The rip-tape fastenings are designed for durability and frequent use. To prolong their life, keep them clean from debris (lint, dirt) that can accumulate in the hooks and loops, as this can reduce their effectiveness over time.

The Vans signature rubber waffle outsole is designed to provide excellent grip and traction on various surfaces, offering good slip resistance for active toddlers on dry, paved surfaces.

Yes, the Vans Old Skool 2V Toddler series is often available in a range of colors and toddler sizes. Please check with your retailer for current availability of other variants.

Clean the rip-tape straps. Often, lint, dirt, or threads can get caught in the hooks and loops. Use a stiff brush or a pair of tweezers to carefully remove debris from both sides of the strap. This usually restores the grip.

Adjust the rip-tape straps. Ensure they are neither too tight (restricting circulation) nor too loose (causing the foot to slide). Check the toe fit; there should be a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the shoe's end. If the size is consistently off, consider getting your child's foot measured again.

Use a specialized suede brush or a dry cloth to gently brush off surface dirt. For scuffs, a suede eraser can often lift marks. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap. Avoid water on suede for general cleaning.

If shoes get wet, remove any insoles and stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat. For odors, sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight, then shake it out.
