FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skating?
While inspired by classic Vans, the Brooklyn LS is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer. The vulcanized construction offers durability, but it is not specifically engineered for high-impact skate performance.
How do I determine the correct size?
The Brooklyn LS typically fits true to size. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for a snug versus loose fit, as the lace-up closure allows for minor adjustments.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the vulcanized rubber and weaken the adhesive bonds.
What is the primary material used?
The Brooklyn LS features durable materials typical of Vans' vulcanized series, designed for a reliable fit and long-term wear.
Does the waffle outsole provide good grip?
Yes, the signature original waffle outsole is designed to provide excellent traction on smooth indoor and outdoor surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too loose or too tight
Utilize the specific eye row configuration to adjust tension across different parts of the bridge of your foot.
Visible dirt on the midsole
Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild detergent to gently scrub the vulcanized rubber sidewalls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Brooklyn LS trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your specific foot width via the accommodating eye row; do not pull them too tight, as this can distort the shape of the upper.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains on the uppers, use a mild soap and cold water solution with a cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes completely to maintain the integrity of the vulcanized bond.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and rubber degradation.
- Compatibility: These are unisex-style trainers that work well with a wide variety of casual wear, from denim to chino shorts.
