Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, the Brooklyn LS is inspired by skate classics and features a durable rubber waffle sole that provides excellent grip and board feel.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dry, soft brush to remove dirt. For tougher spots, a suede-specific cleaning block is recommended to preserve the texture.
Do these shoes come in half sizes?
Vans offers a variety of sizes; check the specific product variant availability to see if your required half-size is currently in stock.
Are they machine washable?
No, machine washing can cause the suede to shrink, fade, or lose its shape. Stick to spot cleaning.
Does the padded collar help with ankle support?
The padded collar is primarily for comfort and helping to prevent chafing, offering a snug, soft fit around the ankle area.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Double-knot the laces or swap for elastic no-tie laces for a more secure, hassle-free fit.
Surface dirt on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft, dry brush to gently lift dirt particles without damaging the nap.
Insole sliding during wear
Ensure the insole is pressed firmly against the base of the shoe. If it persists, use a small amount of double-sided fabric tape under the heel area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, ensure laces are adjusted properly across the midfoot so the tongue sits flat without putting pressure on the top of the foot. These trainers fit true to size for most children. For maintenance, it is recommended to use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede surface. Avoid submersing the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage the suede texture and weaken the adhesive. If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the material from cracking or stiffening.
