Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Sizing: These shoes fit true to standard Vans sizing; consider your previous experience with the Era model when selecting your size.
- Break-in Period: Like most canvas Vans, these may feel slightly stiff out of the box but will contour to your feet within 3-5 days of consistent use.
- Cleaning: Spot clean the canvas using a mild detergent and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing, as it may damage the adhesive and cause the colors to bleed or fade.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant orange color from fading over time.
