FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

While inspired by skate culture and featuring a grippy sole, these low-top shoes are best suited for casual wear and light skateboarding. For professional or intense skateboarding, consider models with enhanced padding and support.

How do I determine my UK size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer or Vans. Generally, UK sizes are indicated. If unsure, measure your foot length and compare it to the brand's sizing guide.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the canvas, adhesives, and the printed pattern. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap for best results.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is primarily made of durable canvas material, featuring the signature checkerboard print.

How does the pink and white checkerboard pattern hold up over time?

The pattern is printed onto the canvas. With regular wear and proper cleaning, it should remain vibrant. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners that could lift the print.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these shoes are not waterproof. The canvas upper is breathable but will absorb moisture. A protective spray can offer some water resistance.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with thin socks initially. If still tight, consider wearing them for short periods to break them in. Ensure correct size was purchased; exchanges may be necessary if significantly too small.

Color transfer from the checkerboard pattern

This can occur with new shoes, especially in wet conditions. Allow shoes to dry completely. If persistent, a color-safe fabric protector might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber waffle sole provides grip on most surfaces. If slipping occurs on extremely smooth or wet surfaces, proceed with caution. Ensure the soles are clean of debris.

Pros and Cons

  • Classic and stylish design with the iconic checkerboard pattern.
  • Lightweight and comfortable for casual, everyday wear.
  • Versatile unisex sizing.
  • Durable construction suitable for regular use.
  • Excellent grip and traction from the waffle sole.

Cons

  • May lack advanced cushioning or support for intense athletic performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes. Ensure you have selected the correct size for your foot.

Compatibility: Designed as unisex footwear, compatible with a wide range of casual outfits. They pair well with denim, chinos, shorts, and skirts.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water, as this can damage the materials.
  • Drying: Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing with paper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect from dust and damage.
  • Protection: For the checkerboard pattern, avoid excessive scrubbing that could lift the print. Consider using a protective spray suitable for canvas to help repel water and stains.
