FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for professional skateboarding?
While inspired by skate heritage and featuring a grip-enhancing waffle sole, these Premium Authentic trainers are best suited for casual skateboarding and daily wear rather than professional, high-impact skating.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily constructed from canvas featuring an all-over orange camouflage print. It also incorporates textile and synthetic elements.
How do I clean the camouflage pattern without damaging it?
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently scrub the canvas and wipe clean. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could fade the print.
Is the cushioning suitable for long walks?
Yes, the Sola Foam ADC cushioning provides enhanced comfort, making them suitable for extended wear and walking.
What does 'Premium' mean in the product name?
'Premium' refers to the upgraded construction and cushioning compared to standard models, offering enhanced comfort and durability.
How do the taller sidewalls benefit the wearer?
The taller sidewalls offer increased support and a more secure fit around the ankle compared to lower-profile shoes.
What is Osnaburg foxing tape?
Osnaburg is a type of plain-weave cotton fabric. In the context of these shoes, it refers to the durable tape that runs along the side of the sole, a traditional Vans design element.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone easily.
Tie laces using a double knot or consider replacing them with laces that have better grip.
Discomfort on the heel.
Ensure socks are worn. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.
Canvas material feels stiff.
This is normal for new canvas shoes. Wear them for short periods to break them in, allowing the material to soften.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces.
The waffle sole provides grip, but like all rubber soles, can be slippery on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Exercise caution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no assembly. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: Designed for adult use. Available in UK size 12, they are compatible with standard sock sizes. These are casual trainers, not specialized athletic footwear.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For the canvas upper, use a soft brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a cloth. Avoid machine washing.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not tumble dry.
- Material Care: The textile and synthetic materials should be kept away from excessive moisture. While the waffle sole is durable, avoid abrasive surfaces that could wear down the rubber.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or bag to protect from dust and sunlight.
