FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?

Do these shoes provide good arch support?
Vans Classic Trainers feature a flat, low-profile sole which offers minimal arch support. They are best for casual use rather than long-distance walking.
Can these be used for skateboarding?
Yes, the waffle-soled design was originally built for skateboarding and provides excellent grip on a skateboard deck.
How should I clean the rubber sides?
You can clean the white rubber foxing with a damp cloth or a magic eraser to remove scuffs.
Do these come in different sizes?
Yes, Vans Classic trainers are available in a wide range of children's and adult sizes to accommodate growing feet.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the shoe on
Loosen the laces down to the toe area to allow for a wider opening for the foot.
Canvas looks faded or dusty
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and consider using a canvas-safe fabric renewer if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no special setup; simply loosen the laces or slide them on, ensuring the heel sits comfortably in the back of the shoe. To maintain the condition of the black canvas, brush off dry dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, spot clean with mild detergent and warm water. Avoid placing them in a washing machine, as the high heat and agitation can degrade the adhesives used in the sole construction. Keep them stored in a cool, dry place to prevent material damage.
