FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for professional skateboarding?

While inspired by skate culture and featuring a durable Vibram® outsole for grip, these sneakers are primarily designed as a premium lifestyle shoe with unique detailing. For professional-level skateboarding requiring extreme durability and specific board feel, dedicated skate shoes might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the leather knot details?

Gently wipe the leather knots with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the leather.

What is the main advantage of the Vibram® outsole?

The Vibram® outsole is renowned for its exceptional durability and superior traction, providing confident grip on a wide variety of surfaces, enhancing both performance and safety.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

These sneakers have a durable construction, but they are not waterproof. While the Vibram® outsole offers good grip on wet surfaces, the canvas and suede upper can absorb water. It is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What makes the interior construction 'upgraded'?

The upgrade refers to the inclusion of a leather footbed combined with cushioning. This provides a more comfortable and supportive feel compared to standard insoles, especially for all-day wear.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The best way to ensure a proper fit is to measure your foot and compare it to Vans' sizing charts. Trying them on, if possible, is ideal. Remember that the shoes may feel snug initially due to the durable materials and will loosen slightly with wear.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with new shoes, especially those with durable materials. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the shoe to break in and mold to your foot.

Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces.

Ensure the Vibram® outsole is clean and free from excessive dirt, mud, or debris. A thorough cleaning with water and a brush can restore optimal grip.

Leather knot detail appears worn or scuffed.

Gently clean the area with a dry or slightly damp cloth. For minor scuffs on the leather, a leather conditioner can sometimes help to restore appearance, but avoid abrasive cleaners.

Discoloration on canvas or suede areas.

Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for prolonged periods. For stains, use a specialized cleaner for canvas and suede, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
