FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally run true to size, but the accommodating eye row allows for adjustment if you have a wider foot.
Can I put my Vans in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can weaken the glue used in the vulcanized construction and damage the fabric.
What is the benefit of the waffle sole?
The iconic waffle sole is designed to provide maximum grip and board feel for skaters, making it very durable for everyday walking.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
While the rubber sole provides grip, the upper materials (especially suede) are best kept dry. Consider using a waterproof spray if you live in a rainy climate.
How do I break them in faster?
Wear them with slightly thicker socks for the first few days to gently stretch the material and help the sole become more flexible.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Double-knot the laces or swap them for higher-friction laces if necessary.
Stiff feel when new
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the materials and vulcanized sole to soften naturally.
Scuff marks on the rubber midsole
Use a pencil eraser or a dedicated sneaker cleaner to gently buff away black scuff marks from the rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Brooklyn LS trainers last, keep these maintenance tips in mind: 1. Keep them clean by wiping the rubber midsole with a damp cloth. 2. For suede or canvas uppers, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. 3. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the vulcanized bond between the sole and the upper. For storage, keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from artificial heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
