FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a 360-degree HydroGuard membrane designed to keep your feet dry in wet weather.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the Ultracush insoles are removable, which allows for easier drying or replacement with custom insoles.
Can I wear these in the snow?
Yes, the 100g PrimaLoft insulation and All-Trac outsole make these suitable for cold, wintry conditions.
What is the best way to clean the leather?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the leather or using harsh chemicals.
Do these fit true to size?
Generally, yes, but because of the internal insulation, they may feel slightly snugger than standard Vans; consider wearing your usual thickness of socks.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the laces are fully tightened and the tongue is pulled flush against the foot to maintain the seal of the HydroGuard membrane.
Feeling discomfort after long periods
The Ultracush insole is removable; consider swapping it for a custom orthotic if you require specific arch support.
Outsole collecting debris
The All-Trac lugs are designed for traction, which may trap small stones; tap the soles against each other or use a soft brush to clear the tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure your laces are tightened securely to keep the waterproof membrane functioning as intended around the ankle. When storing, keep these shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can damage the leather and the waterproof treatment. To clean, wipe the leather exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the Ultracush insoles become saturated, remove them to air dry independently of the shoe to ensure total moisture removal. Because they feature a leather exterior, applying a leather-safe weather protectant spray occasionally can help maintain the finish and water-repellent properties over time.
