FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Vans Sk8-Hi typically has a medium width. While they offer some flexibility, individuals with very wide feet might find them snug. The lacing system can be adjusted to accommodate slightly wider feet.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The Vans Sk8-Hi in UK size 6 is designed for a standard adult foot. It's recommended to try them on if possible, or consult a sizing chart and measure your foot length from heel to toe.

Can these be worn in wet weather?

While the materials offer some resistance, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and discomfort. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection.

What is the difference between Sk8-Hi and Sk8-Hi Reconstruct?

The 'Reconstruct' models often feature unique design elements or altered construction methods compared to the original Sk8-Hi, such as deconstructed paneling or exposed foam. The standard Sk8-Hi follows the classic Vans silhouette.

How durable is the waffle sole?

The signature waffle sole is known for its durability and excellent grip, making it suitable for skateboarding and daily wear. However, like all rubber soles, it will show wear over time with consistent use.

What is the warranty on Vans trainers?

Vans typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Specific warranty periods and terms can vary by region and retailer, so it's best to check with the place of purchase for exact details.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or stiff

Wear the shoes with thick socks for a few hours each day to allow them to mold to your feet. You can also try gently flexing the shoe before wearing.

Laces are difficult to keep tied

Ensure you are using a double knot when tying your laces. Consider replacing the laces with a waxed or textured pair for better grip.

Canvas material appears dirty or stained

Use a specialized shoe cleaner or a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth. Blot stains gently and allow to air dry.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try inserting a powder (like talcum powder) into the shoe or check if the insole is loose.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Vans Sk8-Hi trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For canvas and suede, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Use a damp cloth or an old toothbrush with soap and water to clean the rubber sole.
