FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

The Vans Style 38 Checkerboard trainers are designed for casual wear and light skateboarding. For professional or intense skateboarding, dedicated skate shoes with enhanced padding and support might be more appropriate.

What material are these trainers made of?

While specific material composition can vary slightly, Vans trainers typically feature canvas or suede uppers with a rubber sole. The description notes a lightweight build.

How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer and compare it with your foot measurements. The product information specifies a UK size 4.5 for this particular listing.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

These trainers are not specifically designed for wet conditions and the canvas material can absorb water. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments to maintain their condition.

What is the main difference between Style 38 and other Vans models?

The Style 38 is characterized by its high-top silhouette and often features the iconic checkerboard pattern, offering a distinct skate-inspired look compared to lower-profile Vans models.

Is the pink color prone to staining?

Yes, lighter colors like pink can be more susceptible to visible stains. It's recommended to clean them promptly according to the care instructions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. For a slight tightness, wear them with thicker socks around the house to gently stretch them. If significantly tight, consider exchanging for a larger size.

Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied

Ensure the laces are of good quality and not frayed. You can try a double knot for extra security. Consider replacing them with new, high-quality laces if they are worn out.

Discoloration of the pink/white pattern

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors. Clean gently with mild soap and water as per care instructions to prevent permanent staining.
