FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and weaken the adhesive in the vulcanized construction. Clean by hand only.
Can I use these for skating?
Yes, the Brooklyn LS is inspired by classic skate designs and features a durable rubber waffle outsole suitable for casual skating.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from durable suede, which offers a balance between style and ruggedness.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
Suede is not naturally water-resistant. It is recommended to apply a suede-specific water repellent spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.
How do I determine if the size is correct?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe for optimal comfort.
Troubleshooting
The suede is showing light dust or dirt
Gently use a soft suede brush in a circular motion to lift the fibers and remove dust.
Shoes feel too tight initially
Wear them indoors for short periods with thick socks to gently stretch and break in the material.
Laces constantly come undone
Ensure they are laced tightly through the eyelets and consider using a double knot for active play.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Vans Brooklyn LS Trainers in top condition, follow these simple maintenance steps:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede surface. Avoid saturating the shoes with water.
- Stain Treatment: For stubborn spots, use a specialized suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner applied to a clean cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the rubber.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup inside the shoes.
- Sizing: These trainers run true to standard UK children's sizes; ensure a snug but comfortable fit that allows for slight movement of the toes.
