FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

While durable and designed with skate features, the 'Reconstruct' line emphasizes style. For professional skateboarding, specialized skate shoes with enhanced protective features might be preferred. However, they are excellent for casual skating and daily wear.

How do I clean the blue canvas and suede?

For the blue canvas and suede, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, mix a small amount of mild detergent with water and gently scrub with a brush or cloth. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and let air dry completely.

What is the main difference between Sk8-Hi and Sk8-hi Reconstruct?

The 'Reconstruct' series often features deconstructed elements, unique stitching, or alternative material placements compared to the standard Sk8-Hi model, offering a fresh take on the classic silhouette.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Vans generally fit true to size for most customers. However, individual foot shapes can vary. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts carefully.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

These trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may result in wet feet and potential damage to the materials. Consider a water-repellent spray for added protection.

What is the warranty on Vans trainers?

Vans typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Vans website or the product packaging for specific warranty details and duration.

Troubleshooting

Laces are difficult to tie securely.

Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets evenly. Try a different lacing pattern or replace the laces if they are worn or slippery.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

The waffle outsole provides grip, but extreme conditions like wet ice can reduce traction. Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris that might affect grip.

Shoe feels stiff or uncomfortable.

These trainers may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
