FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit according to standard UK sizing for adult males.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and compromise the integrity of the adhesive.
What is special about the Vibram outsole?
Vibram is a world-renowned manufacturer of high-performance rubber soles, known for providing exceptional grip, traction, and durability.
Are these suitable for rainy weather?
While the suede is high quality, it is porous. We recommend applying a high-quality water-repellent spray, though they are not waterproof.
Do I need to break these in?
Like most high-quality suede footwear, there may be a short break-in period where the material softens and molds to your foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or lint on the suede
Use a specialized suede brush to lift the fibers and gently remove loose particles.
Water spots on the material
Lightly dampen the entire suede surface with a clean cloth and let it air dry away from heat sources to avoid uneven drying patches.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Wipe the bottom of the Vibram sole with a damp cloth to remove any built-up mud or debris that may be obstructing the tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vans OTW Chukka 49 Vibram trainers, it is essential to treat the suede with a water and stain repellent spray before the first use. When the shoes become dirty, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt in the direction of the suede grain. For stubborn spots, use a specialized suede eraser. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the black color from fading over time.
