FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash your Vans as it can compromise the vulcanized rubber bond and structural integrity of the shoe.
Does the Brooklyn LS provide arch support?
The Brooklyn LS is designed with a flat sole characteristic of classic Vans; if you require high arch support, consider adding an aftermarket orthotic insole.
What material is the upper made of?
The Brooklyn LS typically uses a durable textile or suede construction depending on the specific model variant, offering a balance of breathability and toughness.
Are these suitable for school sports?
They are excellent for general physical activity, but for specialized sports like long-distance running or competitive soccer, a dedicated performance athletic shoe is advised.
How do I find my size?
These shoes follow standard UK children's sizing; we recommend measuring the foot with a sock on and comparing it to the standard Vans size chart.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Use a double knot or replace with slightly textured athletic laces if the stock laces feel too slick.
Accumulation of dirt in the waffle sole
Use a toothpick or a firm brush to dislodge debris from the waffle pattern to maintain optimal traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Brooklyn LS remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to conform to the shape of the foot.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes fully in water.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the vulcanized rubber from drying out or losing its bond.
- Sizing: These are standard fit trainers; ensure you are utilizing the correct UK children's sizing for the most accurate fit.
