FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for serious skateboarding?
While inspired by skate heritage and featuring a grippy waffle sole, these are primarily designed for casual wear. For intensive skateboarding, consider Vans models specifically engineered for skate performance.
How do I clean the camouflage canvas material?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a damp cloth with a mild soap solution is recommended. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, and always air dry.
What does 'Osnaburg foxing tape' mean?
Osnaburg is a type of durable fabric used for the foxing tape, which is the strip that runs along the side of the sole. It adds to the shoe's durability.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
These trainers are made of canvas and are not waterproof. They offer limited protection in light rain but are best avoided in wet conditions to prevent damage and discomfort.
What is the main benefit of the Sola Foam ADC cushioning?
Sola Foam ADC cushioning provides enhanced comfort and shock absorption, making the trainers suitable for longer periods of wear compared to traditional designs.
How does the waffle outsole improve performance?
The unique waffle pattern creates multiple grip points, offering excellent traction and stability on various surfaces, which was crucial for skateboarding.
What is the difference between 'Authentic' and 'Premium Authentic'?
The 'Premium' designation typically indicates upgraded materials or construction methods, such as enhanced cushioning (Sola Foam ADC) or potentially more robust build elements, while maintaining the core Authentic silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct or if insoles are needed.
Canvas shows dirt or stains
Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, a specialized canvas cleaner may be used sparingly. Allow to air dry.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the waffle sole thoroughly with a stiff brush to remove embedded dirt and debris that may be affecting traction.
Laces are worn or damaged
Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length. Ensure they are threaded correctly through the eyelets.
