FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The Hylane trainers feature elastic laces and a hook-and-loop closure, which offers some adjustability. However, they are designed with a standard fit, and individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug.

How do I clean the suede material without damaging it?

For dry dirt, use a suede brush. For stains, a damp cloth or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first and allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat.

What is the main benefit of the Hylane design for infants?

The primary benefit is the combination of easy on-and-off functionality with classic Vans style and comfortable, supportive wear for young children.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, textile materials, and adhesives.

What is the purpose of the reverse waffle outsole?

The reverse waffle outsole provides a flexible tread pattern that offers good grip and durability for infants and toddlers during everyday activities.

What age group are these trainers intended for?

These trainers are specifically designed for infants.

Does the hook-and-loop closure provide a secure fit?

Yes, the hook-and-loop closure, combined with elastic laces, is designed to provide a secure and adjustable fit for infants' feet during normal wear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes appear dirty

Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the suede and textile upper. For stubborn stains on suede, use a dedicated suede cleaner, following product instructions.

Difficult to put on child's foot

Ensure the hook-and-loop strap is fully open. Gently flex the shoe to open the collar. Double-check that the correct size has been selected for the child's foot.

Suede material looks worn

Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the material. Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out gently with a suede eraser.

Sole appears dirty

Wipe the rubber sole clean with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a soft brush can be used.
