FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
The Vans Slip-On Reissue 98 offers a durable construction and good grip, making them suitable for light to casual skateboarding. For more intense or professional skateboarding, specialized skate shoes with enhanced features are recommended.
How do I clean the checkerboard pattern?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially. Gently stretch the shoe by wearing it for short periods. Avoid excessive stretching which can damage the materials.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the waffle sole is clean. For very smooth or wet surfaces, caution is advised as with any footwear.
Discoloration on the canvas
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean promptly with appropriate methods as described in the care instructions.
Creasing on the leather parts
Natural creasing will occur with wear. To minimize, avoid bending the shoe excessively when not worn and consider using shoe trees.
