Product Information
Full details
The Vans Brooklyn LS trainers are designed for active kids who need a reliable, stylish shoe for daily wear. Drawing inspiration from classic court-style footwear, these trainers offer a blend of athletic support and iconic Vans durability. While the suede upper provides excellent longevity for rough-and-tumble play, users should note that the material requires regular cleaning to maintain its pristine black aesthetic.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, because they are made of suede, machine washing can cause permanent damage to the texture and color. Use dry-cleaning methods only.
Can I use these for sports?
While they are inspired by court shoes, they are intended for casual, everyday wear rather than high-performance competitive sports.
How do I know if the size is correct?
There should be about a thumbnail's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe for healthy foot development.
Does the black suede fade?
Like all dark suede, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight can lead to minor fading. Storing them in a closet when not in use helps preserve the color.
What is vulcanized construction?
This is a process where the rubber sole is heat-bonded to the upper, creating a highly durable and flexible bond.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the bridge of the foot
Adjust the lacing pattern to a 'box' or 'straight bar' style to relieve pressure on the instep.
Surface dirt on the suede
Allow the mud to dry completely, then gently brush away with a dry, soft-bristled brush.
Laces coming undone frequently
Double-knot the laces or consider using a firmer material lace if the current ones become too smooth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, ensure the laces are tightened firmly but not to the point of restricting circulation. Because these shoes feature suede, it is recommended to apply a suede-specific protective spray before first use to guard against stains and light moisture. For cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher marks, use a specialized suede eraser. To maintain shape, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the black dye to fade over time.
