FAQs
What materials are the Vans Authentic trainers made from?
The uppers are constructed from a combination of textile (canvas) and synthetic materials. The sole is made of synthetic rubber.
Are these trainers suitable for skateboarding?
While inspired by skate heritage and featuring a grippy waffle sole for board control, the 'Premium Authentic' model with enhanced cushioning and support is primarily recommended for casual wear. For dedicated skateboarding, consider models specifically engineered for performance.
How do I clean the orange camouflage pattern?
Spot clean the canvas and synthetic uppers using a damp cloth and a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the pattern or material.
What does 'Osnaburg foxing tape' mean?
Osnaburg is a type of plain-weave cotton fabric. The foxing tape is the rubber strip that runs along the sides of the shoe, and in this model, it uses Osnaburg for a specific aesthetic and construction detail.
What is the benefit of the taller sidewalls?
The taller sidewalls compared to the original design offer increased support and durability around the base of the shoe.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and shape of the shoe. Hand washing or spot cleaning is the preferred method.
What is the Sola Foam ADC cushioning?
Sola Foam ADC is a cushioning technology designed to provide comfort and shock absorption underfoot, making the trainers more comfortable for extended wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Allow the shoes to break in gradually with short periods of wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size; refer to the sizing guide if unsure. You can also try wearing thicker socks during the break-in period.
Soles are slippery on certain surfaces
Clean the waffle rubber outsoles thoroughly with water and a brush to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be reducing grip.
Color transfer from canvas to socks
This can sometimes occur with new dyed fabrics. It is recommended to wear darker colored socks initially. The color transfer should minimize with subsequent wears and cleaning.
Canvas material shows dirt easily
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution as per care instructions. For stubborn stains, a specialized shoe cleaner for canvas may be used cautiously.
