FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, they feature vulcanized construction and a durable toe cap, which are standard for skate-inspired footwear.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dry suede brush or a specialized suede eraser to remove dirt. Do not machine wash.
Do these trainers run true to size?
The Brooklyn LS is designed with an accommodating shape, but it is recommended to follow the standard UK sizing guide for your child.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally fixed, but if you need extra orthotic support, you may be able to insert thin, flat insoles over the existing ones.
Is the sole non-marking?
The rubber waffle outsole is designed for performance; while generally safe for most indoor surfaces, it is best to check specific gym regulations.
What is the best way to dry them if they get wet?
Stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb moisture and let them air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double-knot technique or replace with shorter laces if the current ones are too long.
Suede looks dull or dusty
Use a soft-bristle brush to gently lift the nap of the suede and remove loose debris.
Heel slippage
Ensure the laces are tightened specifically through the eyelets near the ankle to lock the heel in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Brooklyn LS Trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: Use the lace-up system to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. The padded collar should sit firmly against the ankle without digging in.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture and color.
- Waterproofing: Applying a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first wear can help protect against minor spills.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the black suede from fading.
