FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

While designed with skateboarding in mind, they are best suited for casual skateboarding and street skating. For professional-level performance and durability in extreme conditions, more specialized skate shoes might be recommended.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the UK sizing chart. Generally, Vans fit true to size, but personal preference for snugness or roominess can vary.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

These shoes are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain or puddles is not recommended and may affect the materials and color.

What is the primary difference between Style 38 and other Vans models?

The Style 38 is characterized by its classic low-top silhouette and the iconic side stripe, offering a balance of skate heritage and casual style.

How do I clean the checkerboard pattern?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Gently scrub the pattern with a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or bleach.

What is the warranty period for these shoes?

Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please check the documentation provided at the time of purchase or contact the seller for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear the shoes with thick socks for a short period to gently stretch them. Alternatively, consider using a shoe stretcher.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the waffle sole is clean. The grip may vary on extremely smooth or wet surfaces; this is normal for this type of sole.

Colors appear to be fading

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean the shoes gently with appropriate cleaning solutions and air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

These Vans are ready to wear right out of the box, requiring no specific setup. They are designed for compatibility with standard adult foot sizes (UK 10). To maintain their appearance and longevity:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the materials and colors.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape while drying.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent discoloration and material degradation.
