How do I know if I've purchased authentic Vans?

Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole can also help.
Graphic design appears to be fading or peeling
Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions, avoiding harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing. Spot clean gently and allow to air dry. For minor peeling, a fabric glue specifically designed for shoes might be used sparingly by a professional.
Laces fraying quickly
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can cause undue stress. Consider replacing them with a more durable set of laces if the issue persists.
