FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the Vans Sk8-Hi Reconstruct 'Blue' trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for general wear and are not intended for use in wet conditions.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or manufacturer. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it with the UK sizing provided for this model.
What is the 'Reconstruct' feature?
The 'Reconstruct' feature refers to a design approach that deconstructs the traditional shoe silhouette, often exposing internal elements and stitching for a unique, avant-garde aesthetic.
Can I wear these for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for running.
What material are these trainers made of?
The exact materials can vary, but typically Vans Sk8-Hi models are constructed with a combination of canvas and suede or leather, along with rubber soles.
How should I clean the blue color to prevent fading?
To prevent fading, clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and direct sunlight when drying. It's best to clean them after wear and allow them to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days to break them in. Ensure the insoles are properly seated.
Laces coming undone frequently
Try a different lacing technique like a 'surgeon's knot' or ensure your laces are adequately tightened before tying.
Discomfort on the ankle
The high-top design may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure they are laced appropriately for support without being too tight.
